Wicking vs. DryMax

If you haven't noticed, MOZO offers socks as well as shoes. Is it just because everyone knows socks and shoes belong together? Well, actually MOZO Shoes and MOZO Socks could very well constitute the ultimate dynamic duo--and here's why:

(The following excerpt was taken from this website.)

"Drymax: Drymax Socks and fiber Technology

Drymax has completely revolutionized the way that we think about socks.

Most sport sock manufacturers claim that their socks wick the moisture away from the foot quickly. While this may be true to some extent, the question is, where does that moisture go? The fabric in a sock that wicks sweat away allows the moisture to adhere to the sock, which ultimately makes the sock wet. The sock may dry quickly when laid out in the sun, but that doesn't help you while your foot is inside of a boot. Wicking fibers require evaporation to dry and little of this happens in the closed environment of sport footwear.

Drymax has devised a fabric which forces the water through the sock and away from the foot. This helps keep the foot dry inside the boot. This may seem like it's been the goal of every sock manufacturer out there all along, but the science to make this happen has never been there before to do it right. Drymax is the first sock manufacturer to really do it right. The socks do exactly what they're supposed to do. They help keep your feet dry!"


And who wouldn't want dry feet when you're running to and fro around the kitchen, or around the hotel, hospital--you name it? In case it still doesn't make sense as to how these socks work exactly, check out the demo video below from DryMax.
