These Wool Socks Survived a 24-hour Travel Day-Plus, 6 More Pairs We Love
Briefly

Wool socks are favored for their versatility, moisture-wicking capabilities, and temperature regulation. Smartwool and Ibex are preferred brands. Fifteen pairs of wool-blend socks were tested for comfort, fit, quality, and breathability. Notable mentions included Dale of Norway Myking Wool Socks, which were stylish but lost elasticity over time, and Finisterre Ribbed Sock, known for durability but lacking softness. The evaluation included activities such as hiking, commuting, and exercising, focusing on design elements like cushioning and support.
Wool is known to be far superior when it comes to a do-it-all material. With its moisture-wicking properties and ability to regulate temperatures, wool is an ideal material for socks.
We evaluated each pair for fit and features such as reinforced toes and heels, seams, ribbing, cushioning, and arch support.
