Merino wool is nature’s own smart material. It keeps you warm even when slightly damp and evens out temperature changes, so your feet stay comfortable whether you are on the move or standing still. The knee-high design protects your whole lower leg, not just your ankle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe innermost layer of the sock is moisture-wicking polypropylene. Polypropylene does not absorb moisture but moves it on to the next layers of clothing, so you stay dry for the whole trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMerino wool keeps you warm and polypropylene handles the moisture, so your feet do not get wet or cold when you stop for a break. Just a dry, light feeling that lets you focus on what you are doing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMerino wool is naturally odour-resistant, so you can wash your socks less often and they last longer. When you take them off at the end of the day, you are not greeted by that familiar end-of-day smell. Instead, they feel fresh. On long trips, you can often freshen them up simply by airing them – a big advantage when washing is not an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tyytyvaisyystakuu\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance Warm High merino socks come with a 100-day satisfaction guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e We want you to have time to try the socks properly: wear them as normal for 100 days. If you are not satisfied with them for any reason, you will get your money back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProfessionally tested Performance Warm High merino wool socks for every situation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shaped heel fits your foot precisely, and light support at the arch keeps the sock in place. The thin, gently elasticated leg follows the shape of your lower leg without squeezing, so the sock stays up all day without slipping down to your ankle or leaving pressure marks. No more socks that slip off or need a second thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe durable four-layer construction is at the heart of these socks. It makes the foot section warm and hard-wearing, while the soft wool sole cushions every step and feels soft underfoot, even on long days. The toe seam is flat and unobtrusive, so you will not feel that familiar pressure point on top of your big toe, even after a long day. It is a small detail you only notice when it is missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerformance Warm High socks are designed for winter activities and time outdoors in the cold season, when your feet and lower legs need warmth and protection. These knee-high socks are very warm and made for the moments when cold and snow call for protection all the way up your leg. The innermost polypropylene layer also handles moisture, so sweat cannot chill your feet, even when you stop for a break.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Svala AIR System™ layering, Performance Warm High belongs to the Accessories range, which complements the main layers. While the Zero Layer and Base Layer manage moisture and warmth around your body, merino wool socks complete the system by keeping your feet warm and dry. A warm body needs warm feet too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"padding-left: 60px; padding-right: 40px; padding-top: 80px;\"\u003eThoughts from the designer \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px; padding-right: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“When you spend a long time in snow and freezing temperatures, keeping just your feet warm is not enough – your whole lower leg needs protection. I wanted to make a knee-high sock where a warm, durable foot section and a thin, gently elasticated leg work together: the sole cushions and warms, and the leg protects your lower leg without slipping or squeezing. The innermost polypropylene layer keeps your feet dry even when you pick up the pace. A good sock is not one you notice during the day, but one you forget as soon as you put it on.”  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px; padding-right: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/5436\/8334\/files\/Vaikuttajan_pyorea_pohja_2.jpg?v=1789576872\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px; padding-right: 40px; padding-bottom: 80px;\"\u003eNinni Pohto, designer at Svala \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterials with a purpose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerformance Warm High merino socks are made from a soft merino wool blend: 58% merino wool, 29% polyamide, 10% polypropylene and 3% elastane. Merino wool provides warmth, breathability and natural odour resistance, polypropylene wicks moisture away from the skin, polyamide adds durability, and elastane adds stretch that keeps the sock in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe four-layer construction of the foot section combines the best properties of these materials: warmth, moisture wicking and durability. The innermost layer, against your skin, is moisture-wicking polypropylene, which keeps your feet drier even when you sweat, while the soft wool sole cushions every step and feels soft underfoot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMerino wool is naturally excellent at regulating temperature and moisture: it keeps you warm even when damp, wicks moisture away from the skin and evens out temperature changes. Long-fibre merino wool does not itch like ordinary wool, so the socks feel soft even on sensitive skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe merino wool in these socks is NATIVA™-certified, which means it is traceable and responsibly produced on mulesing-free farms. All materials meet the OEKO-TEX 100 standard, which guarantees the product is safe for skin contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend washing merino wool socks before you wear them for the first time, so they fit true to size. Please note that merino wool socks may shrink slightly in the wash. Reshape and stretch them firmly while still damp to restore their original size. The socks are made in Finland by Sukkamestarit, using responsibly produced merino wool and decades of experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDeveloped in Finland for Finnish weather\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpending winter days in snow and freezing temperatures?
