The ability of this kind sock can pull sweat away from skin, the inner side of the sock. Due to the reason of wool’s natural anti-microbial properties, wool socks won’t get stinky, though a person wears them up several days in a row without washing. They are very comfortable too. Sports socks tend to use the material of extra cushioning around pressure points. And wool socks are ideal for longer rides, as they can keep the runners’ feet much more comfortable and sweat-free. Merino wool isn’t as durable or close-fitting as synthetics, so merino blends are common. These socks are mostly wool, but have nylon and spandex in their weave to add durability and stretch.
