Common Questions

Before You Buy

  • Single-layer socks are made with one layer of fabric that provides a lightweight, breathable feel while wicking moisture away from your feet. Unlike our double-layer socks, they don't have two layers working together to reduce friction, making them a great choice for those who prefer a more traditional sock.

  • Wrightsock single-layer socks are ideal for:

    • Runners and walkers who prefer a close-to-the-shoe fit.
    • People who don't typically experience blisters but still want exceptional comfort and moisture management.
    • Anyone looking for a traditional high-performance sock.
    • Excellent moisture management to help keep feet dry.
    • Breathable construction for all-day comfort.
    • Performance fibers that help reduce heat buildup.
    • Made in the USA with premium materials and quality craftsmanship.
    • Available in a variety of cushion levels so you can choose the right amount of comfort for your activity.

    One thing to note: while our single-layer socks provide excellent comfort and moisture control, our double-layer socks remain the best choice for maximum blister prevention, thanks to Wrightsock's double-layer construction.

  • How do I choose the right size?
    • Wash inside-out in warm water before first wear
    • No bleach, no fabric softener (it kills the wicking)
    • Tumble dry no-heat or hang to dry
    • Built to hold shape through hundreds of washes
