Description of SmartWool Skiing Light Socks - Women’sSmartWool was born with comfortable performance in mind. Their founders were New England ski instructors struggling to keep their feet warm. After trying a variety of materials, they rediscovered an age-old classic: wool. But while these socks may have been warm, they were itchy and shrank. So they worked on a process to make them soft and easy care. SmartWool was born on a simple tenet: keeping feet comfortable on the slopes.Features:1×1 rib cuffSmartfit systemLight cushioned shin and footFlat-knit toe seam70% wool, 28% nylon, 2% spandexHeight: over-the-calfCushioning: light cushioned
