A company called W?ru Wool is touting the message that the properties that have made wool increasingly popular in performance wear also drastically reduce blisters and foot discomfort. Company founder Matt Disney discovered the benefits of wool while trekking in New Zealand with his wife on their honeymoon.  Matt says that a single-use product like Wuru allows you to experience the friction-reducing benefits inherent in lanolin-rich wool that are lost through traditional textile manufacturing. Matt pointed out to me that the key to friction reduced wool, is lanolin which is used in so many skin products. My thinking immediately went to all you outdoorsmen out there who spend so much time trudging through the wide open spaces of your hunting grounds. "we currently have a high demand from hikers, hunters, and marathon runners."
