Women’s Wool Socks

If you associate wool with itchiness because of all those sweaters grandma knitted you for Christmas that drove you crazy, it’s time to knock that notion straight out of your head. Good quality wool is just short of magic, and if you don’t believe us, keep reading.

Why You Should Wear Women’s Wool Socks

It’s no coincidence that our ancestors favoured wool socks over all others. For thousands of years, humankind has benefited from this fabric as an insulator. Unlike other sock materials (*ahem* cotton), wool maintains its insulating properties when wet, and it takes a lot for this material to get wet. Wool can absorb a high amount of moisture, almost a third of its weight before it actually feels wet.

Now that we’ve eased you in, this is where it gets really cool. Wool fibers are naturally anti-bacterial, so they’re completely odor-resistant. Wool is also a heat regulator, meaning that when your body temperature rises, the fibers have the incredible ability to transfer heat and moisture into the environment (in this case, your shoe). Wool socks keep your feet cool and dry in the summer, and warm in the winter. Plus they’re incredibly quick-drying. Mother Nature really did us a solid when sheep came onto the scene.

When to Wear Women’s Wool Socks

In basically any situation when you want your feet to be ultra cozy, wool socks have you covered. Wool is a popular material for hiking socks, since the material is so versatile in the elements. Wool socks are perfect for staying toasty in the cooler months, whether you’re wearing them around the house or walking the dog in your winter boots. Merino wool socks are luxurious and super soft. This elevated fabric goes well with dainty flats, brogues, loafers, and dress boots for an elegant aesthetic.

Taking Care of Women’s Wool Socks

At this point it’s pretty clear that wool socks are special, so don’t be surprised that they have specific washing instructions. Wool socks should be washed by hand in warm water or on a delicate wash cycle using mild detergent. Never put wool socks in the dryer, as they have the tendency to shrink. Once they’ve been washed, hang your socks to dry. If you went with hand washing, don’t ring or squeeze the water out, since this can cause the socks to become misshapen. 

When choosing a pair of women’s socks, you shouldn’t settle for less than the best. Soxy socks are engineered with stay-up technology to keep them in place, and a y stitched heel to prevent bunching from day to night. Every pair has proprietary rip protection, with double-reinforced areas in the heel and toe to prevent wear and tear. 

A padded footbed gives Soxy socks extra cushioning and helps absorb ground shock. We think every lady deserves to go about their day like they’re walking on clouds. Soxy designs pairs for every personality, mood, and occasion, in so many colors and patterns there’s a 100% chance you’ll find some that you love.
