Sneakers

Sneaker socks are the saviours of the spring and summer tennis season. Even if you don't believe it, merino wool is a great material choice, instead of cotton or bamboo. The advantage of merino wool is that it's a breathable material that wicks moisture away efficiently. This means that your feet will feel comfortably dry even on a hot day, and your feet won't get dehydrated in the heat. Merino wool is also wonderfully soft against the skin.

You'll find sleeveless socks in a range of colours and materials to suit your needs. Classic colours, not forgetting black and white. Seamless socks are best worn with low-heeled shoes that need a sock, but the sock should be discreet. However, don't choose a sock for hiking or a heavy shoe. You could risk blisters forming or the sock rolling up to the toe as it moves in a heavy shoe.
