These animal-themed merino wool socks are made in Orivesi, Finland, and are suitable for both daily wear and outdoor adventures. This model has us accompanying a red squirrel! The material is reinforced with 15% polyamide for durability, while a touch of elastane adds stretch. Merino wool naturally resists odors, requires less washing than synthetic fibers, and keeps your feet comfortably warm even when slightly damp. The yarns used in GreenGo socks come from Europe and carry the Öko-Tex certificationmeaning the yarn contains no harmful treatments or additives. Choose your favorite pattern and wear your new socks as they are for everyday use or hiking, or layer them with other socks in roomy winter boots or rubber boots! Machine wash at 30°C. Like all merino wool products sold by Scandinavian Outdoor, these socks are of course mulesing-free, meaning the painful procedure for sheep has not been used in the wool production. *Orava* is Finnish for squirrel.
