DESCRIPTION
Silent. Swift. Sharp. Black Raven is a sleek ankle sock built for guys who move with purpose. The merino-copper blend fights heat and odor with ease, while a smart heel tab and sculpted cuff provide secure, anti-slip comfort no matter how far or fast you go. This stealthy all-black look, topped with an embroidered wing, blends low-profile style with high-performance features.
WHY CHOOSE THIS SOCK?
- Your New Favorite Sock: silky-smooth feel with a stretch fit that breathes well, prevents odor, lasts for years and is unbelievably comfortable.
- Contoured Fit: tapered left & right toe boxes to prevent slippage, bunching and friction (which leads to discomfort and blisters.)
- Anti-Microbial / Anti-Bacterial: merino wool combined with copper threading and copper infusion for natural resistance to bacteria and microbes that cause stench and discomfort.
- Moisture-Wicking: unlike cotton and synthetic blends that absorb and retain sweat, this sock pulls moisture away from the skin and expels it to evaporate.
- Temperature-Regulating: this unique blend and knit is designed to keep feet cool in the heat, and warm in the cold!
- Satisfaction Guarantee & Lifetime Warranty: yep, we're that confident in our socks. Try them out, and if they aren't meeting the lofty expectations we've set for any reason, just go through our simple portal for return, exchange, replacement and refund options.

Does size really matter..?
Choosing the proper size for your foot is important for optimal fit, feel, performance, and lifespan. That's why we offer several sizes in smaller increments, as opposed to traditional socks that claim to be a "one-size-fits-all" (like shoe size 6-12) when in reality they just fit poorly on everybody.
Between sizes?
This is the best case scenario! Size down for a shorter sock and size up for a longer sock. The sock length is only about a 1-2cm difference in the foot and another 1-2cm difference in the leg, +/- 1cm. So typically it's about a 1-2" total difference from toe to cuff. I am a size 10 myself, so I typically wear our MD sock for casual daily use and LG for sports (like softball and mountain biking.)
Size Hack!
Although we use a unique Merino wool blend that will minimize shrinkage if you follow our recommended care instructions, you can intentionally shrink a larger sock by 1-2" by ignoring our recommendations and throwing them in a warm or hot wash and warm or hot dry cycle. Start with warm before hot to see how much you want to shrink them, and note that they'll still have plenty of stretch to accommodate larger foot sizes!

What our customers are saying
Scott | Fresh Peaks (Size: MD)"I have never actually owned a pair of socks quite like these. The quality is immediately apparent the moment you put them on; the comfort is truly unbelievable...I am absolutely loving these socks and would recommend them to anyone without hesitation...If you appreciate fine materials and thoughtful design, you are going to really enjoy these. They are worth every penny for the comfort and quality alone."
Verified Buyer | Night Warden (Size: LG)"I have been a long time user of other brands of wool socks. When this appeared I decided to give them a try and happy I did. They have a very premium feel in both the materials of the socks and packaging. They are now my go-to sock especially when doing outdoor activities like hiking. Keep my feet dry and comfortable for the duration."
Josh | Night Warden (Size: SM)"I used to think that all wool socks were destined to be itchy, overly thick, or uncomfortably hot, but slipping into these Fiber & Ore socks completely changed my perspective on what performance footwear should feel like. The blend of materials here is nothing short of luxurious against the skin. They have an incredible softness that feels almost like high-end cashmere, yet they maintain the rugged structure needed for a long day on the golf course or a rigorous hike..."
Adam G | Bleed Red (Size: MD)"These are, without doubt, the best socks I've ever owned."
Micah | Fresh Peaks (Size: LG)"These socks are amazing! I've been a long time buyer of Stance brand socks, but not anymore. The quality and comfort of Fiber and Ore is far superior. This might sound gross, but I wanted to test the copper/wool freshness, so I wore them for 3 days straight. They still smelled brand new, and I'm in work boots, on my feet all day. I will definitely be buying more of these."

Why will these be my new favorite socks?
A note from the founder:
"Why am I so confident that these will be your new favorite socks? Because, when I set out to create these, I didn’t stop until they were MY favorite socks! And it took hundreds of samples, tests, and iterations to get there. They feel amazing on my skin, the thickness and stretch is just right for everyday use, my feet are happy at the end of a long day on the go, and I can wear them every day for a week without a smell. And on top of that, I try to create designs that I would want to wear in my every day life, not just out on a hike…”
Are they worth the cost?
Of course we believe they are, but here’s why: our socks are not simply a luxury, but an upgrade to your everyday life. Like that flattering shirt, your favorite jeans, or your most comfortable shoes. Our unique Merino wool blend socks are softer, more breathable, naturally moisture-wicking, more comfortable, better looking, and significantly better at regulating temperature than your average cotton or synthetic pair. Plus, with our copper-infused fibers, you’re getting added odor-fighting power and durability right where you need it most. They last longer, feel better, and work harder—so you’re not just buying socks, you’re investing in all-day comfort.
Isn't wool scratchy & hot?
That’s what I thought too! I grew up with rough, itchy wool that we busted out like once a year for our Scout snow campout. Fortunately for us all, this is not that!
Unlike those awful sandpaper socks, Merino wool comes from a breed of sheep (Merino) that have very fine, soft wool that is silky smooth to the touch. Our socks feel like a dream the first time you slide them on your foot!
Like grandpa’s wool it wicks moisture to help keep you dry and warm in cold weather, but it is breathable as well so your feet don’t get clammy and overheated in hot weather.
Will these socks shrink?
Not if you treat them right! We do preshrink our materials to reduce the likelihood of further shrinkage, and Merino wool is more resilient than regular wool. However, like any premium fabric, it deserves a little extra care for optimal performance. We recommend washing them in cold water, inside out, and laying them flat to dry—this helps maintain their shape, softness, and fit. Tossing them in a hot dryer will cause some shrinkage, so skip the heat and they’ll stay looking (and feeling) fresh for the long run.
Note that in our own tests the shrinkage is pretty minimal after a low heat dryer cycle, and the sock will stretch when you put them back on. However if you plan on regularly drying them in the dryer, we recommend sizing up to a larger size when you make your purchase.
So my feet won't stink anymore?
We designed these socks to be the ultimate defense against foot odor! One of the main reasons feet stink is because your socks retain moisture, and that damp, hot environment is the perfect breeding ground for odor-causing bacteria. We use a specialized Merino wool blend that is naturally anti-bacterial, wicks moisture away, and is breathable to help with temperature regulation and evaporation. In addition to that, we integrate true copper thread and copper ion dyes into the fibers, which adds even more antibacterial and antifungal properties. That means less bacteria, less funk, and much fresher feet, even after a long day on the go!
Aren’t wool socks just for hiking and camping?
While not designed strictly as a sock for the great outdoors, our unique Merino wool blend, copper ion treatment, seamless toes, reinforced impact zones, and overall quality and durability make this a fantastic sock for hiking, running, and most other fitness activities. But we want you to enjoy the benefits of wearing these every day, everywhere!
How does Fiber & Ore compare to other sock brands?
Cotton and synthetic socks leave your feet damp, clammy and smelly, and they stretch and distort after only a few months. Alpaca socks are too hot for everyday use, and have a coarser feel. We created the perfect Merino wool blend to maximize the natural benefits wool in a silky smooth fit with a comfortable stretch, durable impact points, minimal pilling, and more.
