Features
  • Merino 10 wool blend. Fine-gauge 200-needle merino naturally regulates temperature and resists odor — warm when it's cold, cool when it's hot.
  • Anatomical design. Right/left-specific fit with a wider toe box — each sock is knit for your actual foot.
  • Targeted arch compression. A secure, custom-like fit that locks the sock in place and supports long miles.
  • Seamless toe. The Perfect Toe® closure cuts friction where blisters start.
  • No-slip cuff. Gentle cuff compression keeps the sock up without sliding or squeezing.
  • Made in the USA. Designed and produced in the USA.

About the brand

Feetures began around a kitchen table in small-town North Carolina, where a family of lifelong sock makers set out to prove that a performance sock could actually make you move better. Still family-owned today, they obsess over every knit and fiber — anatomical right-and-left specific design, targeted compression for a custom-like fit, a seamless toe that shuts down blisters, and iWick fibers that keep feet cool and dry. At Mountain Sports, we love Feetures because they sweat the small details that make big miles feel easy — socks built to outlast the season and keep you moving.

Feetures socks are designed to fit snug to help prevent bunching or pinching and reduce the risk of blisters; all Feetures socks have some level of compression. If you are between shoe sizes, Feetures suggests sizing up for maximum comfort. All Feetures socks except the high performance line are anatomically designed for the left or right foot (labeled 'L' and 'R'). Care: machine wash cold, tumble dry low, no bleach or fabric softeners; for best results wash socks inside out.

Ask a question
How do I pick my size?

Size by your shoe size: Small fits women's 4–6.5; Medium fits women's 7–9.5 and men's 6–8.5; Large fits women's 10–13 and men's 9–12; X-Large fits men's 12.5–15.5. Between sizes? Size up for maximum comfort.

Is merino wool itchy or too hot for summer?

No — Feetures uses a fine-gauge, 200-needle merino blend that's soft against skin and machine-washable. Merino regulates temperature naturally, so these work as well on warm afternoons as on frosty mornings, and they resist odor between washes.

Are these socks right- and left-specific?

Yes — Feetures' anatomical design knits each sock specifically for your right or left foot, and they're labeled so you can tell them apart. It's a big part of why they don't bunch or slip.

How should I wash them?

Turn them inside out, machine wash cold or warm on the gentle cycle with mild soap, and skip bleach and fabric softener. Tumble dry low, or hang dry for the longest life.
