Wicking socks are a type and brand of sock that is made and designed with a specific purpose. That purpose is to create a comfortable feeling for the wearer. The wicker sock is made from fibres that synthetic.

Synthetic fibres remove sweat and damp away from the skin preventing damp socks rubbing on heels or feet making them sore.

Wicking socks can be used all year round and are very popular in winter, they help to keep warm air insulated in-between the shoes or trainers.

In the summer months the socks can help the feet develop sores and blister that start with friction rubbing with sweat or damp.

They are great to be used for sports and for people who wear trainers or enclosed shoes for long hours during work or sport to avoid chaffing.
