FAQs
Can these be worn without waterproof socks?
Yes, they can be worn as standalone socks for daily activities or lighter hiking, though they offer minimal impact protection.
Are these socks machine washable?
Yes, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle, preferably in a mesh garment bag to protect the material.
Do these help prevent blisters?
Yes, by providing a soft liner layer, they reduce friction between the skin and the boot, which is a primary cause of blisters.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the Sealskinz Suffield range is designed to be a unisex fit.
Will the wool shrink in the dryer?
High heat can shrink merino wool; it is strongly recommended to air dry these socks.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel loose or bunch up in boots
Ensure you are using the correct size; if the size is correct, ensure they are pulled taut over the heel and toe before putting on your outer footwear.
Material feels slightly scratchy
Merino wool is naturally soft, but if you experience irritation, ensure the socks are washed with a wool-specific detergent to maintain fiber softness.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent moisture-wicking capabilities
- Soft, itch-free merino wool construction

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Suffield socks, ensure you choose the correct size for a secure fit without excessive compression. These socks are highly compatible with most hiking boots, running shoes, and technical waterproof socks. For care, it is recommended to machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle using a wool-friendly detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can break down the wool fibers. Always air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to maintain the elasticity and shape of the socks.
