Do Hunting Socks Make A Difference?

Is it a must that you wear your socks every time you go hunting? Some people see wearing hunting socks as going too far in preparing for a successful hunt. While there are certain seasons when you can afford to leave your hunting socks behind, it is a huge mistake to leave them when the weather conditions are cold and damp. During damp and cold seasons, wearing your hunting socks could be what distinguishes between a miserable hunting trip and one you will cherish and happily talk about for some time.

Why your body needs warm socks when hunting

In the blood circulation of the human body, the toes mark the place the pipeline ends. The blood vessels which get to the toes are small because they transport very small amounts of blood. As a result, the toes often get saturated with cold when we expose ourselves to extreme cold, outdoors or otherwise. Spending an entire hunting day without your socks could keep you on the edge the entire day.

The next time you are planning a hunting trip, remember to include a pair of hunting socks. When you go to buy them, make sure you get a well-fitting pair. Remember that socks are sold in accordance to the size of the feet. Ensure your toes feel comfortable with the socks you will buy. Buying a pair that should be worn by a person with a bigger shoe size will make you uncomfortable. The extra material will bunch up within your hunting boots. If this extra material collects more moisture, your feet will become colder. This could further cause blisters on your feet, a happening you should do everything you can to avoid.

A pair of cotton socks is not the best type to wear for a hunt; it is not warm, and becomes uncomfortable when your feet start to sweat. And when it gets cold, your feet will experience every part of it.  Instead, consider purchasing cotton-synthetic or cotton-silk blend. But the best hunting socks are made of wool. Even with all the technological advancements that have brought all kinds of materials to make socks, wool from a lamb still makes the best type of socks to wear when going for a hunting trip. This is especially the sock type to buy if your hunts are typically during the cold season.
