The socks I'm introducing this time are perfect for summer .
The "Wool Mesh Short Socks" are the result of applying the know-how and experience we have accumulated through development for athletes to socks for everyday use.
To begin with, many people think that "wearing wool socks in the summer is hot" or "Aren't wool socks only for winter?", but that's not the case at all.
These socks are made from merino wool, an extremely rare type of wool, and are knitted using a special knitting machine to create a mesh structure that is truly comfortable in the summer . These summer merino wool socks are also great for keeping you warm in the heat.

Now, let's take a look at the features of wool mesh short socks!
① It is less likely to get stuffy even in the summer and is comfortable to wear.
Among the various fibers, wool is one of the fibers with excellent moisture absorption and release properties, which is said to be about twice as good as cotton and about 40 times as good as polyester.
*What is moisture absorption and release?
Moisture absorption: The human body constantly releases sweat and moisture during exercise and everyday life. Moisture absorption quickly absorbs this moisture and prevents the skin from feeling sticky.
Moisture release: When absorbed moisture is trapped inside the fabric, it can cause uncomfortable stuffiness and chill. Moisture release allows absorbed moisture to escape, keeping the inside of the clothing dry and comfortable.
For these reasons, it is also called a "breathing fiber" and it absorbs and releases moisture repeatedly just like breathing, so even when you sweat, it absorbs water and releases moisture. This means that it is less likely to get stuffy and keeps your skin feeling dry and not sticky .
Furthermore, the wool used this time is not just any wool, but ultra-fine merino wool 2/60. It has less of the fuzziness that is typical of wool , and has a smooth finish , which also helps to create a refreshing feeling in the summer.
This comfort is hard to find with other materials and is truly unique to merino wool socks .
Another point not to be overlooked is the excellent breathability of the mesh structure. Compared to mesh made on conventional sock knitting machines, the mesh has more gaps, which increases breathability. This makes them especially effective when wearing socks for long periods of time, such as when hiking.
These merino wool socks are perfect for both outdoor and urban use.
②Insulation performance similar to that of heat-blocking insulation
As you may know, sheep's wool is not straight but curly.
As the fabric curls and intertwines, air gets trapped between the curls, creating a layer of air between the outside air and the fibers (it is said that about 60% of the air is mixed in). This layer of air acts as an insulator , protecting the fabric from the heat and cold of the outside air .
Wool has a low thermal conductivity, meaning it is difficult to transfer heat. It transfers heat only one-fifth of the heat of synthetic fibers such as polyester, and only half of the heat of cotton, which is often used in underwear.
This characteristic is also the secret to the coolness of summer merino wool socks .
3. Stain-resistant and odor-resistant properties reduce foot odor
Many people suffer from sweaty and smelly feet in the summer.
The merino wool used in this product is a natural plant fiber with immune functions . This function also gives it excellent anti-odor and antibacterial properties , suppressing the growth of bacteria and unpleasant sweat odors.
It also has excellent stain resistance .
Wool's surface is made up of scales that repel water , but the scales contain a moderate amount of moisture, which makes it less likely to generate static electricity, and therefore less likely to attract dust and dirt . Thanks to this ability to repel water and resist dust and dirt, it is less likely to get dirty, and even if it does get dirty, it is easy to remove.
These features are extremely useful during the summer when you tend to sweat a lot. These merino wool socks are perfect for everyday use, as well as for running and light mountain climbing.
4. High elasticity ensures a secure fit at all times
Finally, the socks are highly elastic, allowing them to fit snugly even during exercise. As mentioned earlier, the crinkled fibers create a complex intertwined structure that allows them to stretch when pulled and return to their original shape when released .
These merino wool socks offer a great fit and stretch, keeping your feet comfortable even during active activities.
This concludes our introduction to the "Wool Mesh Short Length."
We've introduced various features, but to sum up, these socks are the perfect choice for summer socks.
Made with ultra-fine merino wool, these socks offer a refreshing cooling effect with a smooth feel, adding to their inherent cooling properties . The mesh construction also provides excellent breathability . Wool's properties also prevent stickiness even when you sweat , and the antibacterial and deodorizing properties of natural fibers help reduce odors , making them the perfect summer socks.
These merino wool socks will keep you comfortable during the hot season, and are great for everyday use and outdoor activities. Try these merino wool socks , which will overturn your image of merino wool.
