Built to keep feet comfortable on any trail.

Oboz socks are made in New Zealand and are ready to hike. Featuring durable Nuyarn® merino that is reinforced with nylon for even more durability and elasticity, keeping only natural fibers next to skin.

Specifically designed to integrate with the anatomical fit and performance features of Oboz signature footwear collections, each sock supports biomechanical alignment, reduces friction, and enhances moisture management—ensuring seamless synergy from sole to summit.

And as with all Oboz Footwear, every pair sold helps plant trees.

The Fiber
Merino Wool

Merino wool keeps sheep warm in winter and cool in summer. It’s light, yet it deals with extreme weather conditions and even odor because it is excellent at managing moisture. It’s literally a lifesaver and a genuine performance fiber.

Nuyarn® is a technology that for the first time captures the natural benefits of merino to create a full performance system.

Construction
Spinning Wool Twists the Life Out

The problem with wool garments isn’t that wool itself Ring Spun is a poor fiber, on the contrary, it's one of nature’s true performance products.

It’s the traditional way of spinning that literally twists the life out of it.

Nuyarn® Merino

This unique Nuyarn® construction—drafting merino fibers along a high-performance filament rather than twisting—creates a two-ply yarn with greater volume and aeration, resulting in socks that are significantly lighter, more breathable, and thermally efficient without compromising durability.
