Wools Socks, Yesterday and Today

Friday, December 23, 2011 by Jennifer Dean
If you think of gigantic balls of gray when you think of wool socks, you’re not alone; most people do. Those large woolly socks used to be the most popular (and in many areas, the only) SmartWool® Men's Adventurer Crew Hiking Socktype of wool sock around. And while nothing may be associated with warmth and comfort quite as much as those woolly socks, they also had their problems. The biggest one was that they were incredibly fibrous and therefore, incredibly itchy for a lot of people that wore them. Today’s wool socks though have taken care of that problem so that everyone can still enjoy that warmth – without any of the itch.

Smartwool socks are an example of today’s wool sock that is warm and will keep your feet warm and dry; while still being somewhat narrow in design and without any of those itchy fibers. Even the SmartWool Hiking Sock, which might be closer to what many first imagine when thinking of wool socks, are lighter but still keep your foot wrapped in warmth on even the longest of trails. All of the socks from Smartwool also come with a special kind of wool, merino wool, found only in New Zealand.
