Push your performance further with the Uphill Sport 'Winter XC' Merino Blend Compression Socks, available in black, blue and pink. Made in Finland and designed for high-intensity sports and training, these lightweight compression socks deliver exceptional comfort, support and moisture control for runners, cyclists, gym goers and outdoor athletes. Whether you are trail running, road cycling, mountain biking, skiing or powering through a gym session, these performance socks are built to keep your feet dry, supported and blister-free.
Inspired by demanding cross-country sports, the XC socks are specially engineered to work perfectly with tight-fitting performance footwear. The lightweight construction sits smoothly against the skin without bunching or wrinkling, helping to reduce friction and improve comfort during long training sessions or competitions. The compression fit keeps the socks securely in place, even during intense movement, so you can stay focused on your performance.
The advanced two layer construction combines breathable polypropylene fibres with naturally insulating merino wool. Polypropylene efficiently moves moisture and excess heat away from the skin, while the merino wool sole provides warmth, softness and temperature regulation. This helps keep your feet dry and comfortable in both warm and cold conditions. The merino wool used is mulesing-free and Nativa certified, offering premium comfort with responsibly sourced materials.
Designed for maximum stability and comfort, the XC socks feature a seamless toe, fitted heel and supportive arch grip to help prevent movement inside the shoe. The anti-blister knit construction reduces rubbing and irritation, making these socks ideal for endurance sports, speed training, agility work, strength training and everyday active wear. The flat-knit merino sole improves contact and stability inside the shoe, giving you greater control on both uphill and downhill terrain.
The crew-length design provides additional ankle protection against cold air and friction from footwear, while the breathable compression shaft with Lycra offers targeted support and a secure fit throughout your workout. Lightweight yet highly protective, these merino blend sports socks are suitable for men and women looking for reliable performance socks that stay comfortable mile after mile.
For best results, machine wash at 40°C. Tumble drying is not recommended. Socks may appear smaller after washing due to the elastic fibres used in the construction, so reshaping after washing is advised. With regular use and proper care, the natural performance benefits of merino wool continue to improve over time, helping your socks maintain their comfort, fit and durability.
