What we would like to introduce to you today is a short-length model of the Performance Wool Crew, developed for mountain climbing and trekking .
As the length only reaches down to the ankles, they are perfect for people who don't like long hiking socks or for use when hiking in the summer .
[Recommended for]
- Those looking for short trekking socks
- Those looking for a soft feel
- Those who want to enjoy fashion even while climbing mountains
- Those who want to wear wool socks on a daily basis
- Those who are troubled by sweaty or smelly feet
Now, let me introduce the Performance Wool Crew Short. (The basic performance is the same as the Performance Wool Crew.)
Not only is it warm in the winter, but it's also cool in the summer, made from carefully selected wool
The Performance Wool Crew Short is made from Merino wool , a type of wool harvested from the Merino breed in Australia and New Zealand.
The biggest feature of merino wool is its excellent moisture absorption, which makes it warm in winter and cool in summer , just like an air conditioner . Merino wool is a natural fiber that has the ability to regulate body temperature according to the condition of the skin when worn and the external conditions. During the hot summer months, it regulates the temperature inside the socks to a comfortable level by evaporative cooling caused by the evaporation of sweat, keeping you cool.
Recently, people have started to enjoy trekking and mountain climbing in all seasons of Japan: spring, summer, fall, and winter, so we thought we might as well develop socks that are comfortable to wear all year round! That's why we decided to use merino wool.
Packed with cushioning, graduated compression, arch support and other support features.
The Performance Wool Crew Series is all about performance, and is packed with the support you need for mountain climbing and trekking .
First of all, cushioning . This is a high-density knitted fabric, and the sole has a pile structure that matches the shape of your foot. It's hard to understand, but it's easier to understand if you imagine the fluffy towels that you use every day. It's like there's a fluffy towel inside the sole of the shoe .
Next, compression
Some people wear compression socks before going to bed, but the purpose of compression is to tighten blood vessels, narrowing them and improving blood flow. This has the benefit of preventing fatigue, and compression is also included in the Performance Wool Crew . However, if the compression is too strong, wearing the socks for a long time can make you feel tired and increase the discomfort of the tightness , so we have designed it so that the compression is applied gradually .
Lastly, there is the arch support function.
The arch is the line that connects the heel, the base of the big toe, and the base of the little toe. To put it simply, it's like a camera standing firmly on a tripod. If one of the tripod legs is missing, the camera will fall over.
The same goes for the feet. If the arch collapses, you will not be able to walk straight and it may lead to falls . To prevent this collapse of the arch (flat feet) , the Performance Wool Crew has an arch support function that supports the arch of the sole of the foot.
Designed to fit each foot individually, providing an unprecedented 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.
Antibacterial and deodorant properties and mesh structure for breathability reduce sweating and eliminate odors
Some of you reading this may be troubled by sweaty feet or foot odor . Since we call these high-performance socks, we felt that some kind of measure had to be taken, and so we have given each pair of socks a special function.
The instep part is made with mesh to allow air to pass through, ensuring breathability and making the socks less likely to become stuffy even when worn for long periods of time .
In addition, the carefully selected merino wool used in this product has antibacterial and deodorizing properties , helping to reduce foot odor even when worn for long periods of time.
This concludes our introduction to the Performance Wool Crew Short.
The number of people enjoying mountain climbing and trekking has increased, so these socks were developed to help you enjoy them comfortably without getting injured. However, we have not only focused on functionality, but also on design, so that they will look great with mountain climbing fashion.
Made from carefully selected merino wool, these socks are not only comfortable all year round , but also come equipped with many of the support features you need for trekking, such as high cushioning, graduated compression, and arch support .
Additionally, we have addressed issues that plague many people, such as sweaty and smelly feet, by adding breathability and antibacterial and deodorizing properties.
We are confident that we have created a pair of socks that will satisfy anyone, from trekking beginners to advanced enthusiasts, so we encourage you to purchase a pair for trekking, mountain climbing, or hiking.
