Sole Patch
THE LATEST CROP OF TECHNICAL SKI RACING SOCKS
By Claire Abbe and Susan Theis
Spyder Pro Liner and X-Static
The men’s Pro Liner has a super-thin knit for
high performance, delivering extra warmth
and no bulk. Comfort-mapping construction
means less material in flex spots and more
cushioning in sensitive bone areas. The ski-
specific design is contoured to the left and
right feet, providing an anatomically correct
fit. The women’s X-Static also has comfort-
mapping construction, plus a woven left and
right contoured design for those of us who
don’t have two left feet.
$18 and $27; spyder.com
Fox River VVS MV
Fox River Mills uses silk, Merino wool, and nylon to create a
comfortable, luxuriously- soft ski sock with improved durability.
This new women’s VVS MV sock is an extension of the popular
men’s VVS series that are also made for an anatomical fit
from Merino and silk. Another cool feature is the memory-knit
construction, which helps the sock keep its form, wash after wash.
