What customers say about our moisture wicking socks

I’m a fairly sweaty guy and these are literally the only socks I’ve ever owned that will come home dry after a big day. No smell either. Will definitely buy more!

NickVerified buyer · Crew, Dark Grey

… A typical day like yesterday = head to work at 6am, walk the dog in the afternoon, then play basketball that night, all in the same pair of socks. No sweat, no odour, just super-comfort for 17 hours straight. …

Chris B.Verified buyer · Mid-Crew, White

… Due to my work Im stuck in heavy work boots for 12hr shifts and standard socks lead to sweaty, damp socks. The Coolmax material seems to wick sweat better and dry faster than cotton. …

Richard K.Verified buyer · Crew, Dark Grey

… Over 2days I walked about 35,000 steps and at the end of each day the drystep socks were still fresh, to the point you genuinely wouldn’t even know I’d worn them. …

DaniVerified buyer · Ankle Tab, White

These socks are the most comfortable pair I’ve ever owned! I feel like I can wear them on a hot and humid day and even after a long day at work I can take them off and my feet feel great. …

Paul N.Verified buyer · Crew, Dark Grey

… Super comfortable on really active days, kept my feet warm on a freezing day out walking without causing any sweating, and great to just walk around in at home. …

Matthew F.Verified buyer · Quarter, White

Perfect socks for travelling. I did 2 days straight of hiking and wore theses socks both days. I could do this as they were so comfortable, but also they never got sweaty and didn't have any odour after the 2 days. …

Craig C.Verified buyer · Mid-Crew, White

… My other socks are going in the bin. I’m prone to sweaty feet and these keep my feet dryer than anything I’ve tried before.

Peter D.Verified buyer · Mid-Crew, Black

Wore them for the best part of 15 hours in a working day into a walk and they felt comfortable the whole time, no need to change up or worry about stinky feet. …

H.B.Verified buyer · Crew, Black

Ordered these a few weeks ago and cannot be happier with the quality and just how comfortable these are. It's like wearing a lush blanket on your feet without ever feeling hot or sweaty. …

Why some socks leave your feet wet

By 3pm most socks have soaked up the morning's sweat and are holding it against your skin. That damp is where the smell starts. Recycled COOLMAX® yarn is the reason ours are still dry when they come off at night.

In the footbed, we use silver yarn to kill the bacteria that feed on sweat and make it smell. Breathable mesh ventilation in the forefoot lets heat out of the shoe.

Cotton, bamboo, merino and COOLMAX

Cotton and bamboo both soak up sweat and dry slowly. Merino handles it better and suits cold weather, though it runs warm and bulky in an Australian summer. We tested all three while we were building DryStep. COOLMAX came out ahead on keeping feet dry, especially in hot, humid Aussie conditions.

Same fibre in every cut

All four cuts use the same yarn. Which one you pick comes down to height and shoe. Our crew socks sit below the calf and go from boots or dress shoes at work to the gym after. Mid-Crew stops above the ankle bone, Quarter sits a little lower and Ankle Tab is the lowest. For training, our gym socks cover all four. Every cut comes in US M 5-9 / W 6.5-10.5 and US M 9-13 / W 11-14.

Try one pair on the 30-Day First Pair Guarantee. Not the most comfortable socks you've worn? We'll refund that pair within 30 days of receipt. It covers one worn pair. Try one before you wear the rest.

How the Guarantee Works

Questions we get asked

What are moisture wicking socks?

They're socks made from a fibre that moves sweat off your skin to the outside of the sock, where it dries. Cotton soaks sweat up and holds it against your skin. Ours use COOLMAX yarn and have silver yarn in the footbed for the smell.

Do they work for sweaty feet?

Yes. They won't stop your feet sweating, but COOLMAX moves that sweat off your skin to dry before it pools in your shoe.

Are bamboo socks moisture wicking?

Some, but less than COOLMAX. Bamboo feels soft and soaks up a lot of sweat, then dries slowly. Over a long day in shoes, that leaves you in a damp sock. COOLMAX dries faster than cotton, bamboo and wool.

Is merino better than COOLMAX?

COOLMAX is the better pick for most days in Australia. Merino suits cold weather and hiking but runs hot and bulky in boots or dress shoes on a warm day. Every pair we make uses COOLMAX because it dries faster.

Should I wear thick or thin socks for sweaty feet?

Pick the fibre first, because a thicker cotton sock holds more sweat while a cushioned COOLMAX sock still dries. Ours are the same thickness as a gym sock and a little thicker than a dress sock, while staying cushioned under the foot and through the Achilles.

How do I wash them?

Turn them inside out, wash on a cold, delicate cycle with similar colours and line dry. Skip bleach, the dryer and fabric softener. Fabric softener coats the yarn and slows the wicking.
