Wigwam – if you are a fan of merino wool, and you should be, this is the company for you. Merino wool has the best wool quality and is very durable. Wool helps preserve the temperature of your body and protects your foot while at the same time being very comfortable to wear.

Merino is very sustainable, provides good insulation, transports moisture, has anti-static properties. It also doesn’t itch like wool often does, it does not smell or crease, and it is lightweight and keeps its shape.

If you are a hiker, merino wool is a great option. If you can invest in these socks you will only need a pair or two for your camping trip since it is also antibacterial. Your feet won’t smell and will be protected from moisture and cold. 

Wool loves moisture and doesn’t have to be washed as often. You can leave sweaty dirty socks outside and they will seem clean as when you first bought them. So if you are planning a hiking trip anytime soon, check out Wigwam’s website to buy a pair.

Darn Tough – this is one of the best brands out there when it comes to socks. They are designed for outdoor activities such as skiing and hiking. They are also made of merino wool which protects your feet from frostbite extremely well.

Merino wool care isn’t something difficult. The soft, breathable merino wool has fast-drying, all-weather performance that keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. They are sized according to your shoe size and can shrink a little, depending on how you wash them. If you deem them uncomfortable or not durable you get another pair since they come with a lifetime guarantee.

They can boost circulation in your legs, support veins, prevent blood from pooling in your leg veins, reduce leg swelling, and orthostatic hypotension, which causes lightheadedness or unsteadiness when you stand up.

They also help prevent venous ulcers, deep vein thrombosis in your legs, varicose veins and improve lymphatic drainage. You need to make sure your compression footwear is properly sized and fitted. Pay attention to the material since you could be allergic or irritated by certain materials.

This is probably due to insufficient insulation on your socks or shoes. As comfortable as these socks are – you won’t even feel them. Your feet will be warm and dry at all times. And you can forget about painful and annoying blisters with FITS.
