Description
The Burton Performance Midweight Socks are designed to be your go-to socks for a wide range of conditions on the mountain, offering a balance of warmth, breathability, and targeted cushioning. For snowboarders and skiers in Millcreek, Utah, these socks are an essential component of a comfortable and enjoyable day on the slopes, built to keep your feet happy from first chair to last.
Why Midweight is Key for Snowboarding/Skiing:
Midweight socks strike an ideal balance. They provide:
- Sufficient Warmth: Enough insulation to keep your feet warm in typical winter conditions, without being overly bulky and restricting circulation.
- Good Cushioning: Targeted padding in key areas (like the shin, heel, and underfoot) to absorb impact, reduce pressure points from your boots, and enhance overall comfort.
- Optimal Boot Fit: Not too thick to compromise the fit of your snowboard or ski boots, ensuring you maintain good board feel and control. Many riders prefer midweight socks because overly thick socks can actually make feet colder by restricting blood flow.

Key Features for All-Day Comfort & Performance:
Burton Performance Midweight Socks are crafted with a blend of materials optimized for the demands of snowboarding and skiing:
- Merino Wool Blend: This is often a core component (e.g., 20-30% Merino wool blended with polyamide, polyester, and elastane). Merino wool is highly prized for its natural properties:
- Thermoregulation: Keeps your feet warm in the cold and helps them breathe to prevent overheating when active.
- Moisture-Wicking: Naturally draws sweat away from your skin, preventing wet, cold, and uncomfortable feet.
- Odor Resistance: Inherently resists the buildup of odor-causing bacteria, keeping your socks fresher for longer, even after multiple days of riding.
- Targeted Cushioning: Strategically placed padding, particularly at the shin (to prevent shin bang against the boot) and around the heel and toe, helps alleviate pressure and absorb impact.
- All-Over Elastic Support: Provides a snug, performance-oriented fit that prevents the sock from bunching up, slipping down, or creating hot spots inside your boot. This support often includes elastic arch support for enhanced comfort and blood flow.
- Chafe-Free Link Toe Seam: A seamless or low-profile toe seam design minimizes irritation and discomfort across the toes, a common problem with poorly constructed socks.
- DRYRIDE™ Ultrawick™ Venting Toe Panels (or similar quick-drying, odor-resistant footbeds): These features enhance breathability and accelerate drying, further contributing to overall foot comfort.
- Articulated Left and Right MotionFit (Ergonomic Design): Socks are specifically shaped for each foot, providing a more precise and comfortable fit that matches the natural contours of your left and right feet.
- Sock Lock Reinforcements: Added durability in high-wear areas to extend the life of the socks.
- Low Profile Welted Cuff: Designed to stay up comfortably without digging into your calf, preventing slouching inside your boots.
