The Benefits of Wool Compression Socks

You’ll love the way our premium blend of merino wool and high-tech microfibers feels next to your skin. Warming when it’s cold and cooling when it’s hot, it keeps your feet at just the right temperature and helps you perform your best from glacier to valley. The fabric is breathable, odor-resistant and soft to the touch. It’s also hypoallergenic and itch-free, making it ideal for sensitive skin. Our socks deliver a range of compression levels to suit your needs, from light to medium to firm. We also offer socks with extra padding in key areas to give you the best comfort possible. A sock is only as good as the material it’s made of, which is why we use merino wool in all our socks. This remarkable natural fiber wicks sweat and helps it evaporate before your feet get clammy. It’s also naturally odor resistant, and its thermal regulation properties mean it stays comfortable in both hot and cold environments. Whether you’re skiing the slopes or enjoying your favorite hike, our merino wool compression socks are great for hiking and all other outdoor adventures. They’re a perfect fit in ski boots and are designed to keep you dry and comfortable on any terrain. They are also great for all other active lifestyles and activities, such as running, biking, and traveling. They help improve blood circulation, ease the symptoms of mild varicose veins and spider veins, prevent swelling, soothe tired muscles, prevent blisters, and help with postural stability and recovery from a hard workout. The amount of pressure a sock exerts is called compression, and is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Most of our socks offer true graduated compression, which means the compression is tighter around the foot and ankle and gets gradually looser toward the top of the calf. This type of compression is clinically proven to improve blood flow, and can help reduce the discomfort of swollen legs caused by sitting or standing for long periods of time. We use a special blend of merino wool, recycled cotton, and nylon for all our sock styles. The combination of these unique materials is what makes our socks so special. Each sock has its own set of benefits, depending on the type of sock and how it’s designed to be worn. Performance fit and compression sock are two very different things. While both will feel snug, a performance fit sock’s elastic fibers are carefully placed and tailored to the specific activity they’re being used for. This is what gives the sock its unique, tight, and supportive feel. Our compression sock has been carefully engineered with a gradient of pressure from the foot and ankle that is then reduced over the calf in order to encourage movement of blood and lymph fluid back up toward the heart.
