sock

In general, wool socks are a better choice.

If you walk in the cold area, many feet still sweat, waiting for you to stop when the wet socks are very poor, will freeze the injured foot.

Outdoor wool socks generally contain about 80% wool, plus 20% nylon to enhance the flexibility. This blended sock is more durable than pure wool socks. The warmth of wool is excellent, even after it is wet, it still has good warmth.

If you sweat a lot, it is best to add a thin Liner to the wool socks. If you buy it, you can buy CoolMax fabric liner. CoolMax is a polyester and is a patented product of Du Bang Company. This wicking effect is very good, coupled with wool socks, coupled with a pair of matching hiking shoes / boots, you can rest assured on the road.
