Ultra thin, non-cushioned micro sock is a minimalist style designed for the runner who desires the least amount of sock in their running shoe. The thin layer of merino wool is highly breathable and will regulate temperature and moisture in the running shoe, preventing hot spots and blisters. It could be argued that in no other activity does foot comfort matter so much, with feet required to endure miles and miles of repetitive force. With so much technology dedicated to your running shoe, running socks should perform without interfering - Point6 running socks are made to do that.
All of Point6 running socks feature a knit-in achilles brace and arch brace for support in all the right areas. Ventilation panels enhance breathability and keep moisture and temperature regulated. Point6 ultra smoothe toe seam prevents unwanted rubbing against the top, side, and bottom of your toes, keeping you focused on the run. Whether you are a minimalist looking for an ultra light performance fit or you prefer to cushion your feet for mile after mile, you'll find the right Point6 running sock for every trail, road, treadmill, or track.
Wearing wool running socks when it is warm can seem like an odd choice. But the crimp in merino wool fibers creates efficieint insulation that keeps you warm when it's cold, and cool when it's warm. There is no need for specific warm weather socks or cold weather socks because all of our socks for running regulate body temperature in the same way. But we cannot guarantee they will make you run faster.

Not all merino is created equal. Just because it says merino, does not mean it is superior Point6 quality merino. Wool is mother nature's miracle fiber and no laboratory has been able to create a synthetic fiber that can match up to its inherent natural properties. There is a huge range of quality of merino wool, with specific fiber specs including micron (fiber diameter), length of fiber, percentage of fibers outside the desired micron count (coefficient of variance), whiteness, and strength. The Point6 team has spent over 20 years producing merino wool products and we have the expertise to select only the best fibers with very tight specifications. The result is high performance merino wool whose quality, durability and comfort is unmatched.
