For Balega'sBlister Resistsocks, mohair fibre is combined with with Drynamix ® moisture-wicking fibre to give you the ultimate protection against blisters.
Crew is one of three models of Balega Blister Resist socks that we stock. The top cuff is the highest of the three, making it the most suitable to be worn with hiking boots. For comparison, the length of the sock from top-of-heel to top is 14.5cm vs 5.5cm for the Quarter model. In addition, the heel cushioning extends from the heel and onto the area of the Achilles, providing additional cushioning and comfort in this area.
We love Balega’s Blister Resist sock for the activities of walking, running, hiking, orienteering and adventure racing. These socks have a contoured fit, deep heel pockets and seamless comfort with hand-linked toe seams. Strategically-positioned ventilation panels aid with cooling and moisture wicking.
We chose these socks for our range for their cushioned fit, beneficial temperature regulation (warm in winter, cool in summer), moisture-wicking and anti-blister properties. Your choice between the Blister Resist models primarily hinges on your preference for the length of the top of the sock.
Blister Resist socks maximise comfort with hand-linked seamless toe, enhanced, wide arch support band. The perfect fit comes from the extra-deep heel pocket.

About the fabric composition
Mohair is a great insulator to keep your feet cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. It is also durable, strong and shrink resistant. Garments made of elastic mohair resist wrinkling, stretching and sagging, and recoil after stretching to retain their shape. Comfort too is key. Mohair is a smooth fibre with a natural sheen that reduces irritation on the skin. This natural fibre also has anti-microbial properties to prevent the growth of bacteria – a useful property for socks to have!
Mohair is twisted with Balega’s trademark Drynamix ® to create DRY-MO yarn. This unique moisture-management solution creates the ultimate anti blister, moisture-wicking performance running sock.
