Now, let me introduce the "Performance Wool Crew Medium Weight".
Pile & medium thickness construction gently wraps around the entire foot
When choosing socks for hiking, one of the most important factors is "cushioning." It's important to know how much cushioning you need depending on the situation and purpose.
As its name suggests, the Performance Wool Crew Medium Thickness is medium thickness, somewhere between thin and thick, and provides support and comfort for long periods of walking when climbing mountains other than in the harsh winter .
The highly elastic pile is applied to the entire sole of the foot, and is designed to encase the entire foot. Unlike thin fabrics, the fabric is thick, so it is desirable for warmth even when climbing in winter (except in the harsh winter) .
We also use a wide heel design, which makes the heel wider and more stable. This may sound exaggerated, but it's similar to how pumps of the same height are more stable than heels. This increases the stability, or in other words, the fit .
These socks have cushioning and a good fit for mountain climbing and hiking, but they can also be worn as everyday socks during the cold winter months, with an improved design and a slightly shorter length .
High-quality wool is non-itchy and keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
The medium-weight Performance Wool Crew is made from carefully selected merino wool, which has excellent moisture absorption properties and acts like an air conditioner, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer .
When you think of wool socks, you might think of them as something to wear in the winter, but in fact, wool is often used in the jackets and T-shirts that you wear in the summer, so wool is a material that is suitable for summer as well (although it is expensive).
Wool is a natural material that regulates body temperature according to the condition of the skin when worn and the external conditions. During the hot summer months, evaporative cooling occurs when the wool evaporates in the morning, adjusting the temperature inside the socks to a comfortable level and keeping you cool.
Therefore, these socks can be used for mountain climbing and hiking in all seasons , not just in autumn and winter.
Different left and right shapes provide an excellent fit
We have also made efforts to improve the fit when worn.
The left and right shoes are not designed the same, but are actually asymmetrical and designed to fit the toes of each foot , resulting in an excellent fit.
Partially meshed for improved breathability
The instep area is made with mesh to allow air to pass through, ensuring breathability and preventing the socks from becoming stuffy even when worn for long periods of time, such as when climbing mountains or hiking.
Not only that, the merino wool material used in this product is also known to have antibacterial and deodorizing properties, and it also helps reduce foot odor even when worn for long periods of time .
These socks have good breathability due to the mesh processing, and have antibacterial and deodorizing properties, which help relieve a variety of foot-related symptoms.
This concludes our introduction to the "Performance Wool Crew Medium Weight."
They are classified as thick socks, and are excellent in terms of cushioning and heat retention . My family also wears them at home during the cold seasons, such as winter.
In addition to its cushioning and heat retention, the high-quality wool's unique body temperature regulating function makes it feel cool in the summer , and the antibacterial and deodorizing properties and mesh material prevent the soles of your feet from getting sweaty and reduce odors . By deliberately making them asymmetrical, the fit (comfort) is also outstanding .
If you are looking for socks packed with the features you need for mountain climbing, trekking or hiking that will reduce the strain on your feet and allow you to walk comfortably, be sure to try these socks for mountain climbing.
