MediPeds Coolmax and Sorbtek Socks

Cotton holds what a foot gives off. That is fine in a sandal and a nuisance in a closed shoe for eight hours, which is what these two yarns are here to answer. Coolmax and Sorbtek both move moisture through the sock and out rather than keeping it against the skin, and the difference between the two socks on this page is not the yarn so much as how much sock there is around it.

The Coolmax pair is a cushioned everyday crew: padded sole, ordinary thickness, the one to wear in a trainer or a walking shoe in a warm month. The Sorbtek is cut as a thin dress crew, which is the sock to reach for when the shoe is already full — a work shoe, a smart lace-up, anything with no room to spare. Neither is a non-binding sock in the sense the rest of this catalogue is, so if the cuff is what you came here for, the crew and quarter shelves are where that lives.
