Frequently Asked Questions

Do Anti-Blister Socks Really Work?
Yes. ArmaSkin Anti-Blister Socks are engineered to minimise friction and wick away moisture—two primary causes of blisters. Our exclusive SiFusion™ technology forms a lightweight barrier between your skin and footwear, keeping your feet dry and comfortable during prolonged or intense activities.
What Are the Differences Between Normal Socks and ArmaSkin Socks?
Normal Socks
Traditional socks are loosely woven around the feet. While they offer some degree of moisture-wicking, they merely spread sweat along the fibres until they reach full saturation.

ArmaSkin Socks
ArmaSkin socks feature a hydrophobic polymer coating that lightly adheres to the foot. This prevents any movement on the skin’s surface, virtually eliminating shear forces.
What Socks Are Best for Preventing Blisters?
Effective blister-prevention socks combine moisture-wicking capabilities with a friction-reducing, seamless design. ArmaSkin meets these criteria by utilising a premium blend of synthetic and natural fibres, ensuring optimal moisture management and a contoured fit that protects against friction at key pressure points.
How Do ArmaSkin Socks Compare to Merino Wool or Coolmax Socks?
While Merino wool and Coolmax focus heavily on moisture-wicking, ArmaSkin addresses both friction and moisture. Our SiFusion™ layer creates a protective, friction-minimising buffer that adapts to your foot’s contours, offering superior blister prevention and overall comfort compared to traditional options.
How Do I Choose Between the Different ArmaSkin Sock Styles?
Polymer Anti-Blister Long Liner Socks: Ideal for high-impact activities such as long-distance running or hiking. The extended coverage around the ankle offers extra protection in high-friction areas.
Polymer Anti-Blister Short Liner Socks: Perfect for everyday wear or moderate activities. Their lower-profile design fits seamlessly under most footwear.
Polymer Anti-Blister Short Liner Toe Socks: Designed for those who need additional toe flexibility while still benefiting from enhanced friction reduction.
What Sets ArmaSkin Anti-Blister Socks Apart from Other Socks?
ArmaSkin utilises a dual-action design:
Advanced SiFusion™ Technology: A seamless, friction-reducing layer that conforms to your foot’s shape.
Premium Material Blend: A combination of synthetic and natural fibres for optimal moisture management and a soft, durable finish.
This construction more effectively prevents blisters than standard socks, ensuring superior comfort even under challenging conditions.
How Do ArmaSkin Anti-Blister Socks Work?
Friction Reduction: The SiFusion™ coating creates a smooth, adaptive layer that minimises friction between your skin and footwear.
Moisture Wicking: High-performance fabrics draw sweat away from your feet, keeping skin dry and reducing irritation.
By addressing both friction and moisture, ArmaSkin socks dramatically lower the likelihood of blister formation.
Which Materials Are Best for Blister Prevention?
Socks that effectively prevent blisters combine moisture-wicking fibres and a friction-reducing structure. ArmaSkin uses a carefully selected blend of synthetic and natural fibres for durability, softness, and superior moisture management. The seamless design further minimises friction at crucial pressure points.
What Is ArmaSkin’s Advanced Blister Prevention Technology ?
Inner Layer: SiFusion™ Coating (Semi-Adhesive)
Temporarily adheres to your skin, eliminating the shear forces that lead to blisters. This layer provides enhanced protection during hiking, running, and other endurance activities.

Outer Layer: Smooth Fabric (Friction-Reducing)
Allows footwear and any outer sock to glide effortlessly over the liner, preventing friction transfer back to the skin. This ensures maximum comfort and blister prevention.
