Wissington Running Sock - Black / S

While engineered for running, the Merino wool's comfort, thermoregulation, and moisture-wicking properties make them suitable for other endurance activities like hiking or cycling where similar foot conditions are experienced.

Merino wool is naturally breathable and has excellent moisture-wicking properties. It draws sweat away from your skin and allows it to evaporate, which helps to cool your feet through a process similar to evaporative cooling.

These socks are designed to be worn with athletic footwear like running shoes to provide optimal support, cushioning, and protection against friction. Wearing them without shoes may reduce their effectiveness and protective qualities.

Non-mulesed wool comes from sheep that have not undergone the mulesing procedure, an often controversial process of skin removal from around the tail of sheep. It indicates a commitment to more ethical wool sourcing.

Wash after each use, especially after strenuous activity, to maintain hygiene and the integrity of the Merino wool. Follow the care instructions provided to ensure longevity.

The ergonomic, anatomical design ensures a precise fit to the natural contours of your left and right feet. This reduces the likelihood of bunching, slipping, and pressure points, enhancing overall comfort and performance.

The moisture-wicking and odor-resistant properties of Merino wool help create a less hospitable environment for the bacteria and fungi that can cause athlete's foot. However, good foot hygiene is still essential.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try a size up if you are between sizes or prefer a looser fit. Allow a few runs for the socks to break in and adapt to your foot's contours.

Some pilling is natural with Merino wool over time. Gentle washing and air drying will minimize this. Avoid excessive friction in shoes.

Verify the correct size. Ensure your running shoes are not too loose, which can contribute to sock slippage. Check that the socks are pulled up fully and smoothly.

The anklet design is intended to be snug. Ensure the Achilles heel protector is aligned correctly and that no fabric is bunched. If persistent, consider a different sock height.
