I decided to buy my first wool socks this time. I am so curious on how wool socks differs to ordinary one. It is winter soon so hope this one could help to protect my feet. So far I tried using it now and it is fine but it is not yet really winter here. My purpose is for winter time. I am planning to buy more, it is quite expensive but that is how it is.



Anyway I search online some advantages of wearing wool socks and here they are:

1. Wool does not absorb moisture.

Instead it ‘wicks’ away sweat and water away from your skin. Also since wool does not absorb the water they will dry faster than cotton and be more resistant to bacteria and bad smells.
If your feet sweat alot, then you may think about switching to wool socks. Good that my feet doesn't do sweating.

2. Wool socks provide more padding.

Having a good layer of padding on your feet is not just important for the bottom of your feet where you are stepping, its also just as important around your ankle’s and base of your foot.

3. Wool lasts longer and is more durable - I feel like this is true, so far they are still intack and in good fitting. Looks like this will last longer than those ordinary ones.
