FAQs
How does Polygiene® technology work?
Polygiene® uses silver salt, a naturally occurring antimicrobial agent, to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi on the fabric surface. This prevents odor formation at the source without harming your skin's natural bacteria.
Is the Polygiene® treatment safe for skin?
Yes, Polygiene® is designed to be safe. It is only active on the sock itself and does not interfere with the skin's natural bacterial flora.
Will the odour control wash out?
No, the Polygiene® technology is permanently bound and integrated into the sock fibers, so its odour control benefits will not wash out over time.
What type of cushioning do these socks have?
They feature mid to low-level anatomical cushioning in key pressure zones for comfort without adding excessive bulk or weight.
Can I use fabric softener with these socks?
It is not recommended to use fabric softener, as it can potentially reduce the effectiveness of the Polygiene® technology and the moisture-wicking properties of the fabric.
What is the benefit of LYCRA® SPORT fibre?
LYCRA® SPORT fibre provides a supportive, close, and comfortable fit that helps reduce fabric folds and movement, contributing to blister prevention and overall comfort during activity.
Are these socks suitable for hiking as well as running?
While designed for running, their durability, cushioning, and moisture management features can also make them suitable for moderate hiking.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel loose or bunch up
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Re-check that the LYCRA® SPORT fibre is properly aligned around the foot and ankle.
Reduced odour control over time
While Polygiene® is permanent, ensure proper washing practices are followed. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat which could degrade the fibres over time. Ensure socks are completely dry before storage.
Irritation in toe area
Confirm the flat under toe seam is correctly positioned. Ensure no debris or sharp objects are inside the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
These socks require no setup. They are designed for immediate use. Compatibility is with standard athletic footwear. To maintain the integrity of the Polygiene® technology and LYCRA® SPORT fibre, it is recommended to wash these socks in a cool wash (30-40°C) and avoid fabric softeners, bleach, or tumble drying. Air drying is the best method to preserve the sock's properties and lifespan. Avoid ironing.
