Ski socks

When practicing winter sports it is very important to feel comfortable, so the choice of equipment is a serious matter. Many people think that you can wear any kind of socks for skiing, but this is not so. It is necessary to select specialized models in which the athlete will not feel discomfort.

Ergonomic socks from the company X-Socks fully take into account the anatomical structure of the legs. They are very warm, and their legs are almost never tired. The yarn is woven in a special way, so the products are durable, do not rub. Usually socks are divided into right and left.

In the area of ​​the fingers there is no visible seam, there are heat removal channels, support for the ankle, protection of the heel and lower leg.

Sidas Pro Heat heated socks come with low, medium, and high heating. Suitable for fast freezing people and for skiing in severe frosts. The company also produces compression models to improve blood circulation and maintain heat.

The Wed’ze brand produces low-cost socks without shock absorbing inserts. Models are divided into female, teenage, children's and male. The latter are higher than the rest.

Products should not only warm the leg, but also remove moisture. For this, the following materials and their combinations are used:

• Polyester - characterized by softness and good liquid absorption properties.
• Nylon is a fairly durable abrasion resistant material that provides a high level of heat.
• Elastane is a soft material that gives products elasticity.
• Sometimes New Zealand sheep’s wool is added, but such socks dry for a long time, so skiing in them will not be very convenient.

An important nuance is the mandatory presence of an antibacterial component. It will prevent the development of microbes, there will not be an unpleasant odor.Merino wool effectively copes with this task.

High-quality ski socks are the key to success and achievements in the field of skiing. When choosing products, you must pay attention to:

• Density - comfort, lack of corns depends on it. Ultra-thin and thin models are suitable for people who sweat quickly, for ski slopes from the mountains. Medium thickness socks are the most common because they provide good energy transfer. Thick products are warm and durable, designed for tracking and beginners.
• Size - it should be as accurate as possible. A smaller size will cause poor blood circulation, which is dangerous for health. Large socks in the boot will twist - this will affect the speed of skiing, as well as provoke pain and the appearance of corns.
• Softening zones are shock absorbing support inserts. Usually they are located in places of greater pressure on the leg: the lower leg area, ankle bones.

There are products for different arches of the foot: high, medium and low. These include models from Sidas. Before purchasing, it is imperative to try on so that nothing is rubbed or crushed.
