Slide into comfort. As skiers and snowboarders, we've always had a bit of a love-hate relationship with our feet; we love them so much, but there's no denying that they can be a source of pain with sore spots and blisters, and the first extremity to get extra chilled and tired. Well, we've taken it upon ourselves to make a new sock that meets the need of anyone stuffing their feet into boots for hours on end and tackling everything from hiking summits to hot-lapping powder runs at the local resort. Allow us to introduce you to our most trusted and beloved feet covers: the Nuyarn Merino Snow Sock. NOTE: Socks are final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged once taken out of packaging. MATERIAL + FEATURES Made in New Zealand by the family owned and operated New Zealand Sock Company. Spanning three generations and over 110 years of experience in knitting socks, your feet could not be in better hands. NuYarn® Next to Skin - NuYarn® Merino Wool is knitted next to the skin for comfort, warmth, and moisture management. Nylon plating is knitted to the outside of the sock to provide superior stretch and durability. Machine Knit - Advanced machine knitting allows for strategically placed cushioning and support. High-stress areas like the shin, heel, and footbed have specifically placed cushioning to aide. ESS™ - The trademarked Elastic Support System locks the sock onto the foot and lower leg with minimal compression, providing support particularly under the arch. By fitting snugly to the skin, socks with ESS™ and NuYarn® merino wool maintain regular skin temperature, thus avoiding fluctuations that can cause sweating and chilling. Paladin™ padding in key locations around foot - The unique, patented double-density padding is constructed and positioned to protect the dorsal bony prominences. This relieves pressure on the top of your foot, allowing your dorsal pedis artery to function properly and promotes a healthy blood flow. SIZING CARE INSTRUCTIONS Cold machine wash on gentle cycle, followed by a low-heat tumble dry. For maximum product life, wash and dry inside out . No fabric softener required.
