About our Silk Sock liners – Short 

When it comes to warming your feet, what can beat the thermal insulating effectiveness and comfort of the Serigena™ Silk Sock liners – Short. Their Micro Crew (below the calf) height enables them to sit below most popular crew height casual, dress, work, & trail hiking socks, making them a great ‘go to’ short silk sock liner for just about every occasion and activity.

Low bulk warmth, temperature management, & moisture removal

Silk is considered a more effective weight for weight thermal insulator than any other natural or synthetic fiber, making it the ideal bulk free under sock layer.

We have used a blend of Natural Silk (65%), with Nylon (32%), & Spandex (3%) in our short silk sock liner to achieve an optimal balance of warmth, temperature management, & moisture removal. The nylon component provides reinforcement to the sock structure, giving it increased resistance to the tearing and abrasion forces present in the shoe footbed. The spandex helps the sockliner retain its shape, and hold to the foot without bunching. The 65/35 blend is an ideal mix to balance comfort, stretch, air permeability, thermal conductivity, water repellency, and temperature control. This formulation helps our Sock Liners perform at their best in a wide range of temperatures – when it is cold, and when you are warm; winter and summer.

Look after your feet

Friction caused by the harsh tearing and abrasion forces in the shoe footbed can cause blisters  –  bringing us to another reason why it makes a lot of sense to choose to wear our Silk Sock Liners. Friction + moisture + heat = increased likelihood of blisters occurring. When we reduce friction, build up of moisture, and heat, we significantly reduce the likelihood of blistering occurring. Both Silk and nylon have a low coefficient of friction, making this combination very smooth and slippery compared to wool, acrylic, polyester, & cotton fiber commonly used in socks. This feature along with Silk’s wickability, moisture absorbency, very good water vapor permeability, and next to skin comfort, makes our short silk sock liner a ‘must have’ if you are going to be spending a lot of time walking. If your feet are exposed to cold temperatures all day long at the work-site, or you suffer with cold feet or chilblains, you will will love the insulating, absorbent, and wicking protective properties of these sockliners.

Silk’s combination of low air permeability and high water vapor permeability increases wearer comfort considerably in cold and windy conditions. Its insulating properties can help trap warmth close to the skin when its cold, and also mediate the temperature close to the skin when the sun comes out and ambient temperatures warm. This thermal quality combined with its bulk-less nature makes it the best choice for increasing the warmth under your socks.

Smooth on the skin

Silk has the remarkable quality of similarity of its protein profile with human skin, with its repetitive sequences of amino acids resembling that of human skin. The thread fibers of Silk are incredibly strong, consisting of filaments with a rounded shape, resulting in very smooth fibers that do not cause scratching, friction, or irritate the skin. The Silk yarn used in our fabric is known for its smooth texture, breathability, lustrous appearance, and strength. The remarkable strength of this long, medium-fine yarn helps our garments retain their shape over time. Our Silk fabric is smooth on the skin, and it helps maintain the optimum humidity of the body by minimizing both the circulation of perspiration, and moisture loss. Our Silk is natural, sustainable & skin friendly. These features make our Silk the perfect match for next to skin comfort and good health. Color – Black.
