The special knit of the ribbed leg shaft shapes itself to fit the exact contours of your leg, holding without risk of constriction, even if your legs are larger, or have swollen. The gentle hold the socks give doesn’t create tightness, and so won’t hinder circulation. These beautifully soft, merino wool-rich socks have a fully cushioned foot, with smooth toe seams provided to prevent pressure or abrasion as you walk. Merino wool is naturally breathable, moisture wicking, insulating and anti-bacterial, helping to keep your feet feeling good and stay healthier. These walking socks are a medium thickness, ideal for boots and wider-fitting leisure shoes, woven with reinforcement at the toes and heels for a sock that is reliable trek after trek.
