Aren't wool socks itchy?
No, in fact Fox River's merino wool offers "no-itch" comfort, it's the softest merino wool available. Our merino wool fiber is so fine that five strands equal the width of a human hair. Its long silky fibers guarantee a wool sock that won't itch. In addition to comfort, wool is nature's technical fiber. Wool is the most hydrophilic of all natural fibers, absorbing as much as 30 percent of its weight without feeling wet. Besides being a natural wicking fiber, wool doesn't attract dirt because it is an anti-static fiber. Fox River Merino Wool socks also retain their soft feel, wash after wash
I've heard cotton socks are the best socks to wear in hot weather, what do you think?
What holds for comfort in a cotton shirt does not hold true for cotton socks. While a cotton shirt feels cool against your skin in hot weather, cotton is the worst fiber to wear against your foot inside of a shoe where moisture has no place to evaporate. Cotton is extremely moisture absorbent. Once your foot starts sweating, cotton socks absorb that sweat and hold it there against your foot. Instead, your socks stay wet and that wetness causes friction, which in turn causes blisters. |
