Vivobarefoot MIM Unisex Yak Wool Thick Socks

Possibly the ultimate sock for cold feet. £50 might sound like a lot for a pair of socks – until you discover what they're made from. These beautifully soft, thick socks are made with 95% yak wool from the Central Mongolian Steppe, where yaks have evolved to withstand some extraordinarily cold conditions. Their fine insulating wool traps warmth while remaining naturally breathable, creating a remarkable natural fibre that's particularly well suited to keeping feet comfortable in cold weather. Unlike simply piling on thick synthetic insulation, yak wool is naturally temperature-regulating. It helps hold onto warmth when it's cold without making your feet feel excessively hot and clammy once you start moving. It's also naturally moisture-wicking and odour-resistant, helping feet stay drier and fresher throughout the day – particularly useful inside winter boots. Why yak wool? • Exceptionally warm – a wonderful choice for people who really struggle with cold feet • Breathable and temperature-regulating – warmth without the stuffiness of many synthetic winter socks • Incredibly soft – luxurious next to the skin • Moisture-wicking – helps move moisture away from your feet • Naturally odour-resistant – ideal for long days, walking and travel • Highly durable – a hard-working natural fibre as well as a luxurious one Made in Mongolia in partnership with Asral NGO, using yak wool sourced from the Central Mongolian Steppe. These aren't your everyday multipack socks. They're a beautifully made piece of cold-weather kit – and a rather special gift for a walker, outdoor lover, or that person who is always complaining about cold feet. 95% yak wool, 5% spandex. Wash cool and hang dry.
