Lighter than conventional trekking socks, but loaded with clever textile tech for feet, X-Socks Lightweight Merino Trekking Socks have been Swiss engineered and Italian crafted to perfection, taking up the slack for and improving even the most capable hiking or trekking footwear by providing the ideal final barrier between the world and your bare feet.These finely knit, wool-rich, activity-specific socks have an anatomically shaped footbed for left and right fits, with protective support in higher-pressure areas to promote natural movement and stave off blisters and chafing with hollow fibre padded zones placed asymmetrically, calf to toe. The integrated X-Cross Bandage ankle bands and AirFlow ankle pads stabilise and protect against injury, whilst patented AirConditioning channels continuously direct fresh air underfoot and across, using a Transverse AirFlow system.
