Cool in the Heat: The Best Natural Fibre Socks for Summer
Does the idea of pulling on a pair of wooly socks during summer bring you out in a (not so cold) sweat? When summer is in full swing, the last thing you want is for your feet to overheat.
That’s why the team here at the Cambridge Sock Company has carefully curated a selection of summer-ready socks. Crafted using the finest natural fibres, each pair will help you stay comfortable, cool and stylish, whatever the temperature.
The Merino Wool Advantage: Natural Coolness and Comfort
Unlike traditional wool, which can be stifling and stuffy, luxurious merino wool is suitable for all four seasons. In fact, socks that are lovingly made from luxurious merino wool are perfect for keeping your feet fresh all summer long.
Comfort: Produced using the fine fibres from merino sheep, merino wool is incredibly soft against the skin, eliminating discomfort and reducing friction and blisters. In fact, whatever you do, we’ve a range of merino socks for any summer occasion, including walking socks, trainer socks and everyday socks.
Lightweight and breathable: As well as being incredibly comfortable to wear, merino socks are also lightweight and breathable. The wool actually helps regulate temperature, keeping your feet perfectly cool when the heat rises.
Moisture-wicking: And that’s not all. Merino wool’s moisture-wicking properties are yet another reason why it’s perfect for summer. It naturally draws moisture away from your skin, ensuring your feet stay dry and comfortable throughout the day, making it a great option during heatwaves and humid, sticky days.
Antibacterial properties: The advantages of merino wool don’t stop there. Beyond comfort and keeping your feet cool, this beautiful natural fibre also has natural antibacterial properties which help keep odour at bay.
Merino wool also has a remarkable ability to adapt to the weather. Socks made from this natural fibre will keep your feet cool and fresh all day long, whilst providing warmth and comfort when the evening cools down.
Perfect for everything from casual walks to outdoor adventures, merino socks are a true summer staple!
Mohair: The Noble Fibre for Summer Comfort
When you think of summer socks, mohair may not be the first material that springs to mind. But this silky-soft fibre is an exceptional choice for hot weather. Often referred to as the “noble fibre”, mohair is obtained from the Angora goat which has long, velvet-like hair.
Texture: It’s not surprising that mohair has been a popular choice for making high-quality clothing and accessories for thousands of years. Luxuriously soft and smooth, it reduces the friction that can lead to blisters and discomfort. It also has a lustrous sheen that reflects light, making it one of the prettiest of natural fibres too!
Breathability: Because mohair fibres are naturally hollow, socks made from this material help with insulation. That means that as well as keeping your feet warm when the temperature drops, mohair socks allow air to flow freely, and prevent your feet from getting too warm during the summer.
Strong and durable: Just like the robust goats from which their fleece is taken, mohair is incredibly strong and durable.
Moisture-wicking: The smooth, lustrous fibres naturally wick moisture away from the skin, keeping your feet dry and comfortable even on the hottest of days.
So, whether you’re lounging at home or taking a walk through the countryside, mohair socks will keep your feet feeling fresh and pampered.
We have a range of mohair socks for all occasions, including boot socks, everyday socks, soft top socks and walking socks.
