Why do wool socks itch, but not the wool socks from SOXS?

The Comfort of Wool Socks Without the Itch

Wool socks are known for their warmth and durability, but sometimes they come with an unwelcome side effect—itchiness. This common issue doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the benefits of wool. At SOXS, we’ve developed wool socks that offer all the comfort without the scratch, allowing you to enjoy warm feet throughout the year.

Why Traditional Wool Socks Can Cause Discomfort

Traditional wool socks can cause itchiness due to the natural structure of wool fibers. These fibers have tiny scales that can irritate sensitive skin. Additionally, lanolin, a natural oil found in wool, may trigger mild allergic reactions in some people. While wool provides excellent warmth and moisture control, these characteristics sometimes make conventional wool socks uncomfortable to wear.

How Our Wool Socks Stay Comfortable on Your Skin

At SOXS, we source Mulesing-Free New Zealand sheep wool known for its exceptional softness and quality. Our manufacturing process carefully refines the wool to create a smooth texture that feels gentle against your skin. This approach preserves the natural benefits of wool—warmth, breathability, moisture-wicking—while eliminating the irritation often associated with traditional wool products.

Materials That Make Our Wool Socks Different

Our organic wool is selected specifically for its hypoallergenic properties. We focus on creating socks that work well for people with sensitive skin. By combining high-quality wool with sustainable production methods, we’ve developed socks that are kind to both your feet and the environment. This careful selection of materials creates wool socks you can wear comfortably all day.

Why Choose SOXS Sustainable Wool Socks

SOXS wool socks offer a range of practical benefits that set them apart. They regulate temperature effectively, keeping your feet warm in winter and preventing overheating in summer. The natural moisture-wicking properties help your feet stay dry during activities like hiking or yoga. Our socks are also designed for durability, maintaining their shape and comfort through repeated wear and washing.

Selecting Wool Socks for Sensitive Skin

When looking for wool socks that won’t irritate sensitive skin, material quality matters most. Choose socks made from organic, processed wool that feels soft to the touch. Our extra warm wool socks provide comfort without compromising on heat retention. The right wool socks should feel comfortable immediately—no “breaking in” period required. With proper care, quality wool socks become even softer over time while maintaining their insulating properties.

Experience Comfort Without Compromise

Our wool socks deliver warmth and comfort without the itch that often comes with traditional options. We consciously choose materials and production methods that respect both your comfort needs and environmental considerations. The result is a collection of socks that perform well in various conditions while feeling great against your skin.
