undersocks
Beneath your socks
Undersocks are thin socks worn beneath another pair, typically for added warmth, moisture management, or to reduce friction and prevent blisters: Hikers often wear undersocks with wool socks on long treks.
They serve the same layering function for feet that undershirts serve for torsos.
