Materials, Construction and Features

Like all of the best socks, the Stance Curren includes merino wool in the blend. This naturally antimicrobial material accounts for a fifth of the Curren, and makes life extremely difficult for the microscopic critters that cause boot stink. In a belt-and-braces approach, Stance also applies an additional bacteria-banishing, moisture-wicking finish to each pair.

While the padding in the Stance Curren is generally low-profile, targeted zones feature cushioning that’s designed to minimise the discomfort that can arise by spending all day in a pair of boots. There’s extra protection against rubbing built into the ankle zone, and it’s nice and long to ensure full coverage of the boot area.

Finally, the Curren is highly durable, backed by Stance’s ‘InfiKnit’ guarantee. It’s not just a clever name; if for any reason you wind up with a rip or a hole, you can get a free replacement.
