Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight or too loose.
Double-check the sizing chart against your shoe size. These socks have a specific fit based on adult shoe sizes (XL corresponds to Adult Shoe Size 11-14). If still uncomfortable, consider if a different size might be more appropriate.
Elasticated turnover top is not staying up.
Ensure the socks are pulled up fully and evenly. The turnover top is designed to grip firmly, but extreme activity can sometimes cause slippage. Ensure no moisture or dirt is affecting the grip.
Feet feel damp after prolonged use.
While moisture-wicking, extreme conditions might overwhelm the system. Ensure socks are completely dry before wearing and consider if the ambient temperature is unusually high. Clean socks may perform better.
Discomfort around the toe seam.
The socks feature external smooth toe seams to minimize irritation. If discomfort persists, ensure the socks are the correct size and not bunched up inside your footwear.
