To take advantage of Axio's benefits, they are made with a thickness between thin and medium-thick. The toes and heels are pile-knitted for cushioning and warmth. Axio's special construction prevents fibers like polyester from being exposed on the surface, as they run inside the wool fiber bundles, resulting in a smooth feel and high anti-pilling performance. These socks are sure to be useful in a wide range of situations, from winter mountain hiking to everyday wear.
