15 Best Hemp Socks For Comfort

A person lays on a white bed wearing socks in a hemp leaf patterned white pair.

You and I know hemp is the perfect material for underwear. But did you know hemp also makes for incredible socks? That’s right, hemp socks reign supreme when it comes to comfort and durability (here’s a refresher on hemp vs marijuana if ya need it).

There are so many benefits to wearing one of the most sustainable fabrics on your feet. Hemp is naturally antibacterial and antifungal, not to mention super breathable, perfect for staying comfy and cool all day long. And that’s not even all the hemp clothing benefits you’ll get from wearing hemp socks!

So there’s just one problem: where on earth do you find the best socks from hemp? No need to worry! I’ve put together a list of my favorite hemp sock brands, which come from some of the best hemp clothing brands. Whether you prefer a crew cut or ankle cut, a wild pattern or a subdued shade, there’s a brand you’re sure to love listed below.

WHY HEMP SOCKS?

Two pairs of feet, wearing colorful socks, stick out of an orange tent, overlooking a river.

So you’re sold on the benefits of wearing a hemp bra or some men’s boxer briefs. Why should you put hemp on your feet? Well, I’m so glad you asked! Here are just a few hemp socks benefits:

1. ODOR RESISTANCE

Thanks to hemp’s antibacterial and antifungal properties, it keeps away those nasty lil’ microbes that cause those feet you can smell a mile away. Yep, the culprit for smelly feet is usually due to bacteria, which in addition to smell, can cause infections, discomfort, not to mention more laundry. To really immerse yourself in the science, peep the results from WAMA’s antibacterial test (on underwear, but the principles are the same!).

2. SUSTAINABILITY

Since hemp is greener than most other fibers to grow (see hemp vs cotton), it’s so much better for the planet to wear hemp clothing, especially organic hemp socks! While it’s growing, hemp is an effective carbon sink, and absorbs more carbon dioxide per acre than trees do. Hemp also improves soil health, doesn’t need pesticides or fertilizers to grow, grows quickly, and that’s just the start!

3. MOISTURE WICKING

Hemp will ensure that your feet don’t get sweaty, which helps them stay fresh. Hemp fabric is also light and breathable, so it can help keep you cool during warmer weather. On the flip side, thanks to hemp’s unique structure, it absorbs both water and heat, keeping you cool and warm. This also means less bacteria which is always a win.

4. DURABILITY

If you’re one of those that punches a hole in your socks nearly on the daily (ugh, I feel ya), socks made from hemp are a must for ya! Hemp is three times stronger than cotton, and to impress you even further, it’s true that hemp is stronger than steel! Not only will this stronger fabric give you fewer toe holes, it will also last longer. Hemp FTW!

So, has this list of hemp socks benefits persuaded you to give them a try? I’ll take that as a yes, since you’ve made it this far. Next, you shop: here are the best hemp socks on the market.
