The purpose of this study was to determine the physiological responses and subjective sensation according to fiber content of socks. Six female students participated in the wear trial test which was conducted in controled environmental chamber with 26${\pm}$1$^{\circ}C$ and 60${\times}$3%. R.H.SAS program was used for statistical analysis. The results of this study were as follows. Mean skin temperature was significantly different among three different socks. AWNP socks had the highest mean skin temperature and instep temperature. Also relative humidity in the microclimate of socks as well as heart rate were influenced by fiber content of socks, However, test of subjective sensation such as thermal, humid, comfort sensation showed that there was no significant difference among three different socks thermal sensation during the exercise and recovery period.
