Wearing wool socks for a day is all you need to do to understand the difference that this breathable, durable material makes.
Merino wool socks are naturally odor-resistant thanks to antimicrobial properties, meaning the wool used in our men’s socks inhibits the growth of microorganisms that can lead to odor and other issues. Think about it: sheep would have a hard time if their wool wasn’t designed to withstand the effects of moisture and heat.
Compared to other fibers, wool also takes the cake for breathability and sweat-wicking ability. Unlike cotton which holds in moisture that can lead to fungus and other issues, wool socks are not only great at pulling moisture away from your feet, but they also dry much more quickly than cotton.
Finally, unlike synthetic socks that lack breathability and can even trap sweat and odor between the fibers, wool socks allow your feet to breathe, keeping them dryer and more comfortable throughout the day.
