The padded heel extends to protect the achilles tendon. Additional padded zones on the toes and ball of foot provide extra comfort. We’ve specifically selected a Merino wool blend which makes the socks super soft and helps to reduce friction on the skin without it being too thick. Known for it’s moisture wicking properties, the merino wool yarn will help to wick away sweat from the skin to help keep the feet feeling cool and dry. The added bonus is that it will also dry quicker after washing. The natural anti-bacterial qualities from the merino wool helps to keep the feet feeling fresh on those longer distances. The ventilation zones on the top of the foot enables air. When it's hot, the fibres of the Merino Wool will absorb your foot's moisture vapours and evaporate them outside of the fabric - keeping you nice and cool so that you don't bake in the heat. On the contrary when it's cold, these moisture vapours will condense inside the fibre, giving off heat and keeping you nice and warm. Achilles tendon padding, additional padded zones on the toes and ball of foot provide extra comfort, arch bracing gives additional support and a custom fit, flat-toe seam prevents irritation from the sock along the top of the toes, eliminating friction in this area, and ventilation zones on the top of the foot maximise airflow.
