Most of these socks are either entirely made from cotton or cotton with a bit of nylon splashed in to increased durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;These socks are fine for everyday activities for the reason stated above. They&#8217;re soft, comfy and cheap, pretty much all you need for meandering to the shops and back.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If, however, you were to pop a pair of these on with your walking boots and head into the mountains for a few hours, you would inevitably sweat far more and eventually that soft cotton would become waterlogged, resulting in blisters, discomfort and general misery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/tkt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2022\/06\/sockw2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why use technical socks? Unveiling the Benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moisture Management:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Darn Tough\u2019s socks, for example, are made using a high merino wool content, allowing them to consistently move moisture vapour away from your feet, without becoming waterlogged. Merino wool can absorb around 30% of its weight in moisture and still feel dry to the touch, keeping you comfortable and blister-free.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Insulation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Another benefit of merino wool is that it has a natural crimp (the fibres are soft and curly), so it\u2019s able to trap air to provide insulation in cold conditions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Anti-microbial: Why opt for technical socks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Bacteria that feeds on your skin and sweat can&#8217;t cling to the fine fibres of merino wool, meaning you can wear a single pair of socks for days on end before washing is required.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Naturally elastic:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Thanks to those curly fibres, merino naturally sits closer and will conform around your foot more securely than a cotton sock. You&#8217;ll almost never find a technical sock &#8216;bunch up&#8217; like a basic everyday sock would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why use technical socks:&nbsp;Cushioning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, we&#8217;ll focus on Darn Tough because they&#8217;re great. Darn Tough&#8217;s socks are available in huge variety of different weights and cushion levels. If you&#8217;re using a pair of approach shoes, you&#8217;ll want something a little thinner with less cushioning. Whereas if you&#8217;re more of a traditional walker, you may prefer a thicker, more cushioned option. You can also select your thickness\/weight of sock depending on the temperature and time of year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Durability:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Darn Tough offer a lifetime guarantee with their socks. If (in the unlikely event) you wear a hole through one, simply return for a new pair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a role=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.trekitt.co.uk\/socks\"><br>Shop Technical Socks<br><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Use Technical Socks?
