What are PermaCool socks?
PermaCool is our new range of cooling socks. We created the original Heat Holders range to keep people warm in winter. Now we’ve turned our attention to warmer weather, when many people have the opposite problem: feet that get uncomfortably hot and sweaty inside their shoes and socks. Like Heat Holders, PermaCool took over two years to develop. Now the technology is finally perfected, we’re ready to bring it to the market.
PermaCool socks are an ideal replacement for standard cotton socks in warm weather. They’re designed for everyday wear, in both a regular style and a shorter trainer version. The range includes men’s and women's’ sizes in a range of popular colours.
How do PermaCool socks work?
We usually think of cotton as the ideal fabric for hot weather. But in this case, natural isn’t necessarily better. The human body naturally uses evaporation to cool itself. When we sweat, the moisture draws heat from our skin as it evaporates into the air, leaving us feeling cooler. The problem is that cotton socks soak up moisture like a sponge. (That’s why towels are made of cotton.) The moisture blocks the pockets inside the fabric, preventing air from reaching the skin and locking in heat. As a result, people who regularly wear cotton socks and shoes can end up suffering from athlete’s foot. However, PermaCool socks are different. They’re made from a specially developed yarn with microscopic channelled fibres, combined with a unique knit and construction plus other specialised synthetic yarns. This unique design keeps air moving over the skin, whisking moisture away without absorbing it and keeping the feet cooler, drier and potentially healthier than regular cotton socks. In fact, we believe PermaCool are the driest, most comfortable cooling socks in the world.
Putting PermaCool to the test
PermaCool yarn has been sampled and analysed at a range of independent laboratories during its development, undergoing three main tests:• Liquid Moisture Management (AATCC 195:2012): PermaCool achieves Grade 4, as compared to Grade 1 for a basic cotton sock – in other words, PermaCool transports moisture four times as well. • Air Permeability (BS EN ISO 9237:1995): PermaCool achieves 1221 m/s against 220 mm/s or basic cotton – that’s five times as much air passing through the sock.• Low Absorption (SATRA TM47:2002): After four and a half hours, PermaCool has absorbed just 1.5 mg of moisture, versus 3.5mg for cotton socks. That means PermaCool retains just half of the moisture of regular socks, improving the fibre’s ability to wick away moisture. The bottom line: compared to standard cotton socks, PermaCool allows five times as much air movement and is half as absorbent and four times drier.

WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY
The product has been beneficial for its customers, most picking up on its quality and comfort. Notably, consumers appreciated how this item notably kept their feet cool. The softness of the product was another highlight, adding to the comfort. Many were also delighted by the quick delivery. However, some customers noted that the sizing, particularly the tightness around the tops, could be improved for easier wear. The gifted pair was enjoyed due to the fit, emphasizing a potential need for a wider range in sizes. There were also suggestions for the product to be made with a gentle grip around the top for increased pleasure. However, in essence, customers appeared to be contented with the quality and comfort, coupled with the product's cooling effect.
AI-generated summary of customer reviews

Arrived quickly. Good quality as far as I can tell
Great socks keep my feet really cool .
Yes they do indeed keep your feet cool, so that’s great. Yes they are lovely and soft, which is also great. But …. I am a size 10 so I’m right in between the size advertised and I have quite skinny legs (Golf clubs according to my wife) I really struggle to get them on because the top of the sock is too tight. It’s ok once they’re on but doing battle with a sock at 5 am is not great. I read another review where it was asked if they would change the top of the sock and I noticed that SockShop did not reply. I thought it would not apply to me on account of said Golf clubs, but I was wrong. I would not purchase these again unless the tops are changed to Comfort Fit for example. Socks on the whole are awesome. Delivery was great. But the tops let them down.
Definitely cooler to wear but the sizing range feels too big. Very long on the leg.
Great fit and leg length ideal for sweaty teenagers feet
Good quality product cool and fresh socks no sweat all day
All good......................
Bought this as a gift for my daughter who has size 7/8 feet so it's great that I found these. More choice in this size would be good.
They are good quality socks and very comfortable to wear. They arrived very quickly too. I haven't had them long enough to say how well they will wash and wear.
The socks are excellent at keeping feet cool. The sock tops pinch my legs. Gentle grip would be much more comfortable.
Fine, never give 10 as no ones perfect
These socks are lovely and feel soft and I am sure I shall enjoy wearing them.
They fit well, are soft cool and comfortable.
Gutes Produkt, so wie man es gewohnt ist.
Quality, comfort and fit all good...........................................
