Socks
A walking sock does three main things: provides cushioning, increases insulation and helps to wick moisture away from the skin. Various types and thicknesses of fabric achieve this, in designs ranging from the stretch panel-tastic X-socks to more traditional tubes with heel and toe cushioning. The choice has never been wider.
