About Walking Socks:
Walking Socks are a type of hosiery specifically designed for the activity of walking. Walking Socks are usually manufactured with fibers that wick moisture away from the foot, keeping feet dry during walking.
Walking Socks generally feature a thin instep that prevent extra pressure from the tongue and lacing of the shoes, and thick padding around the toe and heel areas to prevent blisters and mitigate the stress that results from the natural movement of the foot while walking.
