Are these socks itchy?

Most wearers find the merino soft against the skin. A minority with wool sensitivity still notice a prickle, so try one pair before buying several.

How should I wash merino wool socks?

Wash cold on a gentle cycle and air dry. Heat from a dryer is the main cause of shrinkage and felting.

For light trails and cool weather, yes. For heavy boots and long distances, a thicker padded hiking sock gives more cushioning.

They come in small, medium and large. Check the size chart against your shoe size, since the wool blend has limited stretch.

Merino wicks moisture and resists odor better than cotton, and it stays warm when damp. Cotton is cheaper and easier to bleach but gets clammy.
