Smartwool belongs to the famous outdoor brand Timberland, which is the first company in the world to make ski wool socks, and the brand focuses on all kinds of outdoor sports wool equipment, especially famous for high-quality sports wool socks. Smartwool has an exclusive Merino sheep breeding farm in New Zealand, with a stable source of wool and excellent quality. It has a number of technical patents, outstanding performance in the breathability and wear resistance of socks, and is widely welcomed by outdoor sports enthusiasts, and its popularity in China has been rising in recent years.
 
Smartwool wool socks have a high wool content, generally between 50%-70%. Because most of the products focus on the use of sports scenes, in addition to paying attention to the warmth performance of daily wool socks, special attention is paid to the breathability of socks. If strenuous exercisers and people with "sweaty feet" cannot absorb and drain moisture in time, their socks will become wet and hard, making their feet feel clammy and cold and produce odors, and wet feet are also more prone to blisters. Smartwool's high wool content socks wick away moisture quickly, effectively avoiding these embarrassing situations.
 
Smartwool wool socks can be divided into running socks, outdoor socks, day socks and children's socks according to the use scenario, among which the PhD series is a high-performance series specially created for sports. The series has a better overall fit and uses patented Indestructawool durable wool technology to provide excellent abrasion resistance and can cope with a variety of high-intensity sports scenarios. The toe of the sock is made of flat knitting technology, so the seams are not exposed, and the friction on the foot is very low. In addition to some common reinforced and non-slip designs, small breathable mesh is designed on the top of the foot, and a progressive compression fabric that is not tight at the Achilles tendon is used to enhance the comfort of the socks.
 
Smartwool running socks come in three types of socks: boat socks, socks, and mid-rise socks, which can be selected according to the season and the shoes you are wearing. In order to cope with the high-intensity running friction, the running socks are reinforced with a non-slip design, and the invisible seam toe can also effectively reduce friction and avoid blisters. The body of the running socks has a strong elasticity that can better fit the sole and wrap the foot, and the men's and women's models are also slightly different, with the women's models having less breathable mesh but tighter socks.
 
Outdoor socks are generally designed in the middle and long tubes, and compared with running socks, which focus on strenuous exercise and non-slip, outdoor socks pay more attention to the cushioning function of long-term walking. For example, women's hiking socks are thicker and can provide support for the feet, and compared with running socks, the mesh design on the top of the foot is reduced, which is warmer and less compressible, making it more comfortable to wear. Its outdoor socks have a stronger sweat-absorbing ability than thin ones, even if they wear the same pair of socks for a few days, they will not become wet and hard, produce peculiar smells, and the performance is much better than ordinary cotton socks in the outdoor without changing conditions. Smartwool's wool socks can be purchased on domestic e-commerce platforms, with prices ranging from 200 yuan to 400 yuan, which is more convenient to buy and is very suitable for outdoor sports enthusiasts.
 
If it is not a high-intensity professional sport, it is more recommended to wear it every day, pay more attention to comfort and exterior design, and are divided into spring, autumn and autumn models according to the season. The autumn and winter socks are thicker with a thick loop, but the arch of the foot is firmly designed to avoid slipping on the foot, and the wool content and weight of the socks are higher, which is very warm, and is suitable for use in extremely cold environments, although you may need to wear looser shoes. There is not much price difference between the daily model and the sports model, and it is recommended to buy it according to your own sports scene and comfort requirements.
 
In addition, Smartwool has also launched a limited series of socks with the Japanese brand CHUP, combining Smartwool's high-quality wool with CHUP's exquisite design, socks are both functional and fashionable, and are worth a try.
