Wool socks
Wool socks are the warmest type of socks. Wool keeps you warm even when damp, making it better than cotton for the mountains, fishing, and outdoor work, as cotton cools the foot once wet.

The type of wool matters. Merino is fine and does not itch, so it suits everyday socks and trainers. Heavier sheep's wool and acrylic blends make winter socks with a distinct, lofty texture. There is almost always a share of polyamide or elastane in the composition - it is what keeps the heel and toe durable and stops the sock sliding down the calf.
The collection holds winter socks, work socks, terry socks and fine merino styles, in women's and men's sizes.
Wool needs washing at 30 degrees on a wool programme, without fabric softener and without spinning - felting comes from friction and heat, not from water itself. Dry flat. Dispatch in 1-2 working days, free delivery over PLN 199, 60-day returns.
Wool has one advantage over cotton that settles everything in winter: it keeps you warm even when damp. Wool fibre traps air between its crimps and moves water vapour away instead of soaking it up - which is why a foot in wool socks stays warm longer inside a boot where cotton would turn cold and wet.
Where to use them? In winter boots, on trips to the mountains, around the house instead of slippers, and whenever your feet get cold quickly. Wool limits the growth of the bacteria behind odour, so these socks can go longer between washes than cotton ones.
Types of wool feel different against the skin. Merino has a fine fibre and barely scratches at all, so it suits sensitive skin and styles worn directly on the foot. Classic sheep's wool is heavier and warmer, but more noticeable. Alpaca is light and very warm. Blends with polyamide or acrylic are more durable and felt less, at the cost of some natural properties.
What to watch for? Thickness - a thick wool sock can take half a size out of a shoe, so in tight footwear the effect is the opposite of what you wanted, because pressure restricts circulation. Composition: with a wool content below the mid teens, the thermal behaviour is closer to acrylic. And washing - a wool programme up to 30 degrees, no softener, dried flat. High temperatures and a hard spin cause irreversible felting.

On a wool programme at up to 30 degrees, without softener and with a limited spin. Dry them flat.
Yes, that is wool's main advantage over cotton - it keeps its thermal properties even when damp.
Yes, as long as the shoe is not tight. A thick sock reduces the space inside, and pressure restricts circulation and chills the foot.
