Who knew wool could be so cozy? The founders of SmartWool, for one, which is why Peter and Patty Duke decided to jump back into the garment game feet first, so to speak, with the recent launch of Point6 socks. Using a blend made up primarily of New Zealand merino wool (plus some nylon and a dash of spandex), the Steamboat Springs-based sock specialists found a toehold in finely knit, durable foot fashions that claim to fine-tune your body temperature to its optimal 98 . . . wait for it . . . Point6 degrees. Although that may be a bit of a stretch, the all-season socks certainly live up to their comfort billing while eliminating odor (at least for the short term) and the itch associated with the wool socks your father used to wear. Oh, and they also eliminate the store where he bought them. Point6 socks are only available online, which means shoppers always pay 30 percent below retail and no more than $13.27 for their heaviest midcalf trekking socks (the ones with the most wool).
