AdminFeaturing industry-leading compression technology and premium materials, these wool socks give you the best of both worlds. They’re a great choice for hiking and mixed terrain, and their thermally-regulating properties will keep your feet comfortable on all your adventures. The socks provide true graduated compression, tighter at the foot and ankle and looser up the calf, helping to prevent blood pooling in the lower legs and feet. They’re also fast drying and odor resistant.
The wool in our Warrior Alpaca Socks is engineered to help aid your foot health while reducing blisters, calluses and odor. The fabric is also breathable, naturally wicking moisture away from the skin. And, unlike cotton fibers that absorb and hold sweat on the skin, merino wool has pockets of air in its natural fibers that wick moisture away from the foot, leaving your skin feeling dry and fresh.
Both performance fit and compression socks have stretchy elastic fibers to achieve a snug, supportive fit. The main difference is that a compression sock’s elastic fibers are carefully graduated throughout the sock to promote healthy circulation, while a performance fit sock will have a specific amount of pressure that is activity-specific.
Compression and performance socks are both excellent choices for anyone who spends long periods of time sitting or standing, including airline pilots and personnel, teachers, salon and beauty professionals, drivers and construction workers. They’re also a good option for people who exercise regularly, those who suffer from mild varicose veins and spider veins, or those who have DVT & Post-Thrombotic Syndrome. wool compression socks
