You can choose to wear any type of sock you like, as long as it's protecting your feet. However, certain features work better for certain seasons.
For example, during the summertime heat, you may not want to wear thick cushioning wool designs that will create extra warmth; those types are usually better during the winter. For warmer weather, you’ll most likely want to wear shorter, lightweight hiking socks made of moisture-wicking materials to keep your feet dry and cool.
Ultimately it’s your personal choice of what to wear, but we recommend trying to match the materials to the type of weather.
