“Those are sheep, not socks. But okay, I can see how maybe wool socks could be better in winter, but not in summer. No way.”
Seems logical and reasonable to agree with the above statement. Unless you dig a little deeper and discover that wool socks act as the best insulator around. Insulation keeps outside air outside. Doesn’t matter if the temperature outside is too hot or too cold. Insulation keeps it out. (As for the photo, ever see a picture of a pair of socks? Sheep are much better looking.)
Of course, in cold weather, wool has an extra benefit. Stir up a storm-sized sweat inside your boots and your feet will get plenty wet. Accidentally step into an ankle high pile of snowy winter slush and you’ll be squishing and squashing all day long. But with wool socks, the heat stays put. Try that with cotton or synthetic fibers. Well, no, don’t try it. You won’t like it.
“Ok. Maybe wool is good for casual wear. But in the summer, it’s too rough on my skin. Causes blisters when I walk or run for any length of time.”
I think “any length of time” refers to a very long length of time, and I’ll treat it as such. And as such, I cannot agree with the statement. Who does that much running or walking? Even if they do, the folks over at Smartwool have solved the “too-rough-on-my-skin” dilemma very effectively.
Wool remains king in the world of socks!
