Salomon XA Forces Crew Socks: The Ultimate Merino Wool Solution for Moisture-Wicking Comfort & All-Day Blister Protection
- The Salomon XA Forces Crew Socks are a tactical base layer engineered for high-mobility operations and rugged terrain. These socks act as a critical interface between your foot and the boot, managing moisture and friction to prevent mission-ending blisters. Made in Europe, this field-proven design combines the thermal properties of Merino wool with the durability of synthetic fibers to support long-haul rucks and rapid maneuvers.
- Stops Blisters and Keeps Feet Dry (45% Merino Wool): This blend actively pulls sweat away from your skin before it causes damage. By managing moisture and regulating temperature, it prevents the dampness that leads to blisters, freezing injuries, or trench foot during long rucks in changing weather.
- Locks in Place Without Bunching or Sliding: The 360° elastic support holds the sock firmly against your calf and ankle. You can march for miles or sprint over rough terrain without the material sliding down into your boot or bunching up under your heel, ensuring your focus stays on the mission.
- Eliminates Friction and Hot Spots: Unlike generic tube socks, these feature a specific Left and Right anatomical shape that removes excess fabric. This custom fit eliminates the wrinkles and folds inside the boot that rub against your skin, preventing raw spots and abrasion during high-mileage operations.

Salomon XA Forces Crew Merino Socks FAQs
Why is Merino wool special for these socks?
Merino wool is a natural material that is amazing at handling sweat. It pulls moisture away from your skin so your feet stay dry, which stops blisters from forming. It also helps keep your feet warm in the cold and cool in the heat, making it perfect for changing weather.
How do I wash and care for my XA Forces Crew Socks?
To keep them in great shape, wash them in cold water (around 86°F or 30°C). Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. It is best to let them air dry instead of using a dryer. Also, never iron them, as high heat can damage the elastic fibers.
What makes these socks "tactical," and can I use them for hiking?
Yes, you can absolutely use them for hiking! They are called "tactical" because they are built tougher than regular socks to handle heavy boots and long missions. They have extra padding in the heel and toe to stop rubbing, and they fit tight to support your muscles, which is great for any long walk or hike.
How does the sock support my muscles?
The sock has a special elastic knit that wraps around your calf and ankle like a gentle hug. This compression helps your blood flow better and keeps your muscles from getting too tired during long walks. It also keeps the sock from sliding down, so you don't have to keep pulling it up.
What sizes are available?
These socks come in four sizes to fit most feet: Small (Men's 4-5.5), Medium (Men's 6-8), Large (Men's 8.5-11), and X-Large (Men's 11.5-14). Picking the right size ensures the anatomical fit works perfectly to stop blisters.
