If you haven't experienced the magic of wearing wool socks in the wintertime, now is the time to change that.
When the weather is cold and damp, cotton athletic socks just won't cut it. After cotton socks get wet, the cotton material loses its insulating properties. Therefore; you may as well not be wearing anything on your feet at all.
Then, no matter how warm your winter boots are, when you're wearing cotton socks, your feet will perspire, and you will end up with uncomdfortable cold, damp feet. Keep in mind wool unlike cotton is the ideal insulator. Wool is moisture wicking and will hold about one third of its weight in moisture so your feet will not feel wet. When the socks are off your feet, synthetics and cotton ones do not dry as quickly as wool socks.
Add, oh yay! Wool fibers have natural anti-bacterial properties rendering it odor resistant and energy efficient. No need to wash them after each wearing.
We have spent a good deal of time in northern climates and must tell you that these socks have been the best!
