Men's US Size 4-5 Women's US Size 5-6 Heel to toe 22 cm The benefits of wool are well known. Wool is a natural fiber with some pretty amazing and unique properties. Wool is a great insulator. When it's cold out your feet will be toasty and warm in your wool socks. Wool also dries much quicker than cotton or synthetics. Because of their physical nature, wool fibers naturally have anti-bacterial properties. It is hydrophobic, meaning that wool naturally repels water. So, if your boots get wet inside for any reason, the outer layers of the wool fibers in your socks repel the water to help keep your socks and feet dry. Wool is also hydrophilic, which means it can also absorb water. The inner part of the wool fibers can absorb up to 35% of their own weight in water before your skin starts to feel the dampness. The dual nature of wool (being both hydrophobic and hydrophilic) means that it can gain and release heat depending on the external and internal environment. This allows wool to buffer you against changes in the environment. Item # 8
