FAQs

How does Polygiene® technology work?

Polygiene® uses low concentrations of silver salt, a naturally occurring antimicrobial agent, to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria and fungi at the cellular level directly on the fabric.

Will the Polygiene® treatment wash out?

No, the Polygiene® technology is permanently bound and integrated into the sock fibers, meaning its odor-control benefits will not wash out over time.

Are these socks suitable for hiking or other activities?

While designed for running, the comfort, durability, and moisture-wicking properties make them suitable for various athletic activities that involve significant foot movement and potential for odor.

What level of cushioning do these socks offer?

These socks provide mid to low-level anatomical cushioning, focusing on key pressure zones without adding significant bulk.

Can I wear these socks without washing them for multiple days?

The Polygiene® technology is designed to combat odor, allowing for multiple wears between washes, especially for shorter activities. However, for hygiene and optimal comfort, regular washing is still recommended.

What is the benefit of LYCRA® SPORT fiber?

LYCRA® SPORT fiber ensures a close, comfortable, and supportive fit that moves with your foot, reducing friction and preventing fabric bunching.

What material are the socks made of?

The socks are primarily made of Polyester with a high content of polymide for durability and support, and include LYCRA® SPORT fiber for fit.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The LYCRA® SPORT fiber provides a snug fit; if it feels excessively tight, consider if a larger size is needed.

Reduced odor control effectiveness over time

Polygiene® technology is permanent. If odor control seems reduced, ensure socks are washed properly with mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Over-washing with harsh chemicals could potentially affect longevity, though the technology is designed to be durable.

Irritation from the toe seam

While designed to be flat, individual sensitivity varies. Ensure socks are worn correctly and check for any debris trapped in the seam.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective and permanent odor elimination due to Polygiene® technology.
  • Comfortable and secure fit provided by LYCRA® SPORT fiber.
  • Durable construction suitable for regular running use.
  • Enhanced breathability and moisture management.

Cons

  • Cushioning is mid to low-level, which may not suit runners preferring maximum padding.
  • The primary focus is on odor control and durability, not advanced support features like compression.
  • Limited color options might not appeal to all users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These socks require no special setup. They are compatible with all types of running shoes. To care for your Hilly Marathon Fresh Crew Running Socks and maintain the effectiveness of the Polygiene® technology:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors.
  2. Detergent: Use mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade performance fibers.

  4. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  5. Ironing: Do not iron.
