Wearing socks while climbing is one of the most hotly debated topics among climbers, with two clear camps emerging: those who prefer to wear socks in their climbing shoes and those who opt for maximum rock sensitivity by going barefoot inside their climbing shoes.

Should You Wear Socks in Climbing Shoes?

This question remains far from settled. Historically, climbing shoes were worn barefoot. However, a growing trend sees climbers opting for dedicated climbing socks designed for this activity. To maintain optimal sensitivity while wearing socks, it’s crucial to choose products specifically crafted for climbing. These socks are ultra-thin and seamless, ensuring maximum comfort and ergonomics.

What Are the Benefits of Wearing Thin Climbing Socks?

Wearing climbing socks, such as EB’s Carbon Socks or models from YY Vertical, primarily helps to reduce direct contact between your skin and the shoe while managing foot perspiration. Thanks to their breathable mesh and antibacterial treatment, climbing socks significantly limit odours and actively prevent athlete’s foot. Made from polyamide and Drytex polyester, these socks are knitted extra-thin to preserve the sensitivity of your toes in the climbing shoes.
