FAQs
Are these socks suitable for winter?
Yes, they provide good insulation, though they are specifically designed as 'lightly cushioned' for versatility.
Do I need to hand wash these?
No, they are machine washable, but a gentle cycle in cold water is required to maintain quality.
Will these socks cause itching?
No, the merino wool used by Patagonia is fine-grade and designed to be soft and non-irritating against the skin.
Can these be worn with running shoes?
Yes, their breathable design and moisture-wicking properties make them a solid choice for running and gym workouts.
What is the primary benefit of the nylon content?
Nylon is added to provide rugged durability, ensuring the heels and toes do not wear through easily.
Are these true to size?
Yes, they are designed to fit standard shoe sizing, with the XL size catering to larger foot profiles.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too loose after several wears
Wash and dry the socks according to instructions to help the spandex fibers regain their elasticity.
Socks developed piling on the exterior
Piling is normal with natural wool blends; use a fabric shaver gently to remove excess fibers.
Socks shrank after laundry
Ensure you are using the 'cold' setting; high heat will cause the wool fibers to contract permanently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Patagonia Merino Wool Blend Crew Socks, proper care is essential. Always machine wash in cold water using a gentle cycle. Avoid using harsh bleach or heavy-duty fabric softeners, as these can strip the natural oils from the wool and degrade the elasticity of the spandex fibers. It is highly recommended to tumble dry on low heat or air dry whenever possible to prevent the material from shrinking or becoming brittle. These socks are compatible with most standard footwear and provide an anatomical fit that pairs well with various arch types.
