FAQs
Are these socks suitable for summer riding?
While Merino wool is naturally breathable, the Woolie Boolie is designed with extra insulation and padding, making it better suited for cool to cold weather rather than peak summer heat.
Are these unisex?
Yes, DeFeet Woolie Boolie socks are designed as unisex apparel suitable for all adult feet.
What is the primary material used?
These socks are primarily crafted from Merino wool, chosen for its excellent thermal regulation and moisture-wicking properties.
Do I need to hand wash them?
Hand washing is optional but gentle machine washing is safe, provided you use cold water and skip the fabric softener.
Where are these socks made?
DeFeet Woolie Boolie socks are proudly crafted in the USA.
What does the 6-inch size refer to?
The 6-inch measurement refers to the height of the cuff, which provides moderate coverage on the lower calf.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too bulky inside cycling shoes
Ensure you are using a cycling shoe with enough volume or consider going up a half-size in footwear if you consistently wear thick wool socks.
Visible lint or shedding after first wash
This is common with new Merino wool garments; wash them inside out on a gentle cycle to reduce friction and shedding.
Sock elasticity seems to be fading
Check your wash cycle; using high heat or harsh detergents will damage the elastic properties of the sock fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DeFeet Woolie Boolie socks last, follow these care instructions: machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, preferably using a wool-safe detergent. Always avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as these can degrade the natural fibers and elasticity of the wool. For the best longevity, tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Because these socks feature thick padding, check the fit inside your footwear before long trips; if your shoes are already very tight, the extra material may cause compression. For optimal performance, pair with moisture-wicking cycling shoes or breathable hiking boots.
