FAQs
Are these socks suitable for all types of running?

Are these socks machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable in cold water with like colors. Tumble dry on low heat.
What does 'virtually seamless toe' mean?

Will these socks help prevent odor?

Troubleshooting
Socks slipping down during run
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The 4 Degree Elite Fit System is designed for a secure fit, so ensure the socks are fully pulled up and smooth out any wrinkles.
Blisters developing
While the virtually seamless toe and secure fit minimize this risk, ensure your shoes fit properly and consider if the targeted cushioning meets your needs. Check for any internal sock debris.
Socks feel too warm or too cool
Merino wool naturally regulates temperature. If you consistently feel too warm, ensure your shoes have adequate ventilation. If too cool, consider if a thicker sock might be more appropriate for colder conditions.
Socks shrinking or losing shape after washing
Follow the care instructions precisely: wash cold and tumble dry low. Avoid high heat, as this can damage the wool fibers and cause shrinkage.
