How do they work?

The 1000 Mile sock is a sock within a sock. The inner layer stays with the foot, whilst the outer layer moves with the shoe, thus eliminating friction on the skin and reducing wear. The unique mixture of fibres helps to keep the foot dry and blister free.

The inner layer is 100% Tactel. Developed by DuPont, a water repellent coating is applied to nylon to form a superior wicking fabric. This wicks away any perspiration to the more absorbent outer layer, keeping the foot dry.

The outer layer is a mix of soft merino wool (66%), nylon (33%) and Lycra (1%), which makes the sock warm, supremely comfortable and very durable.
