FAQs
Are these socks unisex?
Yes, the HOKA Race Day Crew Sock is designed as a unisex product suitable for all athletes.
Can I use these for long-distance training?
While you can, they feature minimal cushioning and are specifically optimized for speed and racing, so they may not offer enough comfort for long-distance training.
How should I wash these socks?
Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners and high-heat drying to protect the technical fibers and the silicone grip.
What is the primary benefit of the silicone gripper?
The silicone gripper prevents the sock from slipping or bunching inside your shoe, which is crucial for maintaining focus and comfort during high-speed racing.
Will these socks keep my feet cool?
Yes, the strategic zones of open-hole mesh are specifically engineered to provide high breathability and help manage moisture.
Troubleshooting
Sock slipping during a run
Ensure the silicone gripper is in direct contact with your skin and that the sock is pulled taut without overstretching the fabric.
Excessive wear on the heel or toe
Check your running shoe for rough interior patches or improper fit; this sock is designed for race performance, not extreme durability for daily high-mileage training.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Race Day Crew Socks, it is recommended to wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle with similar technical fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the moisture-wicking fibers and reduce breathability, or damage the silicone anti-slip grip. When pairing, choose high-performance racing shoes with a snug fit to maximize the benefits of the thin, responsive material. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the elasticity and integrity of the grip zones.
