When it comes to socks, comfort isn’t just about the fit—it’s about the fabric. From softness and stretch to breathability and durability, the materials used in your socks play a major role in how they feel throughout the day. At Viasox, we’ve carefully selected high-performance fabrics for our Compression Socks and EasyStretch™ Socks to provide comfort you can count on, morning to night.
In this blog, we’re looking closer at what makes our socks feel so good. Whether you’re looking for structured support or relaxed comfort, understanding how materials affect performance can help you choose the perfect pair.
Why Fabric Choice Is So Important To Us
Socks are the first layer between your feet and the rest of your day. They absorb moisture, reduce friction, and help regulate temperature. But not all sock materials are created equal. The wrong fabric can lead to sweaty feet, sagging socks, or uncomfortable rubbing.
That’s why Viasox uses thoughtful fabric blends that are:
-
Soft and breathable
-
Flexible and supportive
-
Durable through repeated wear and washes
-
Comfortable on all types of feet, including those with sensitivity or swelling
Let’s dive into the specific fabrics and construction behind our two most popular sock styles.
Viasox Compression Socks: Breathable Support You Can Feel
Compression socks need to strike a delicate balance: They must be snug enough to provide consistent pressure but still soft and breathable enough to wear all day. At Viasox, our Compression Socks are crafted with a blend of 65% polyester, 15% bamboo charcoal, 7% cotton, and 10% spandex—a formula designed to enhance performance and comfort.
Engineered for Gentle Compression
-
Polyester (65%) provides durability and a smooth texture while helping the socks retain their shape.
-
Bamboo charcoal (15%) naturally imparts antimicrobial properties and adds an element of softness and moisture management.
-
Cotton (7%) contributes to the overall comfort and a gentle feel against your skin.
-
Spandex (10%), similar to elastane, gives the socks their critical elasticity, ensuring a snug, graduated compression that adapts to your leg without causing discomfort.
What It Feels Like to Wear Them
-
Snug, secure fit that hugs your legs without digging in
-
Smooth, lightweight texture that doesn’t bunch or slide
-
Stretch that moves with you, offering just enough give for daily wear
-
Breathable weave that promotes airflow and helps keep your feet cool
Whether wearing them on a long flight, during a 12-hour shift, or while walking around the city, Viasox Compression Socks keep your legs feeling fresh and energized.
Viasox EasyStretch™ Socks: The Ultimate in Relaxed Comfort
Designed for comfort above all, our EasyStretch™ Socks are made for people who want a non-binding, ultra-soft fit that adapts to their body rather than vice versa. These socks are manufactured using a unique blend of 60% polyester, 26% bamboo charcoal, 11% cotton, and 3% elastane, explicitly engineered for everyday ease and adaptable comfort.
Crafted for Everyday Ease
-
Polyester (60%) forms a durable, lightweight, and resilient base that ensures the sock maintains its structure over time.
-
Bamboo charcoal (26%) plays a dual role by adding a naturally soft texture while also working to minimize odor and manage moisture.
-
Cotton (11%) enhances the softness, ensuring the socks feel gentle against the skin for those long, leisurely days.
-
Elastane (3%) provides just enough stretch, enabling a relaxed fit that’s easy on your legs without the constriction often found in tighter socks.
What It Feels Like to Wear Them
-
Loose, stretchy fit that never feels tight or restrictive
-
Cushioned softness that feels soothing on tired or sensitive feet
-
Smooth seams to minimize irritation during extended wear
-
All-day wearability that adapts effortlessly to your body’s contours
These qualities make EasyStretch™ Socks the perfect choice for relaxing after a long day, as they deliver a soft, non-binding feel that lets you unwind.
Breathability: The Key to All-Day Freshness
Both our Compression and EasyStretch™ Socks are engineered with a focus on breathability. The fabric blends, enhanced by significant portions of polyester and bamboo charcoal, allow air to circulate and effectively wick moisture away from your skin. This means:
-
No damp, sweaty feet by midday
-
Less chance of odor build-up inside shoes
-
Reduced risk of irritation caused by trapped heat or friction
Whether active or relaxing, your feet remain cool and dry—a must for anyone who wears socks for long periods.
Durability: Built to Last Without Losing Comfort
You don’t just want socks that feel great on Day One—you need them to maintain their performance after weeks or months of wear. At Viasox, durability is a key feature in our design:
-
Reinforced heels and toes help prevent holes in high-friction areas.
-
Colorfast materials resist fading even after multiple washes.
-
High-quality elastic fibers in both blends ensure the socks maintain shape and compression over time.
Following the recommended care instructions (such as washing in cold water and air drying) can further extend the life of your socks without sacrificing their comfort, stretch, or support.
