Adventure Monkey Woolie Boolie Socks

From DeFeet International: The original Woolie Boolie sock set the standard. The sock that established a cult following because it had all the benefits of wool (super wicking, comfortable in nearly all conditions, didn’t stink after days without washing, incredible in cold and rain) plus it was durable enough to include in a Last Will and Testament. We wanted all of our wool products to inherit those qualities. It doesn’t happen by simply making something from wool. It happens by making sure the the finest wools are knit in the best possible arrangement by letting them do their work and then using special protecting fibers in the right places.

In my own words: Woolie Boolies are thicker, softer and warmer than the cooler wooleators. They are extremely soft and super comfortable, having more warmth and more padding on the bottom than our other socks. Although thicker, they fit inside my cycling shoe, dress shoe and tennis shoe too. These are my favorite socks because of their softness and comfort.

Responsible Wool:
All of the wools that we use are non-mulesed. What this means is that we don’t buy from growers who have surgically mulesed their sheep. Surgically mulesing sheep is not considered humane treatment for the animals. Only about 6% of the wool available today (2011) is non-mulesed. While this up from about 3.7% in 2009, it is still too small of a percentage. DeFeet supports full transparency within the supply chain and rewards wool growers that comply with our business. If it’s not ‘non-mulesed’ wool, our finished product can’t be Certified Woolie by DeFeet.
