FAQs
Can I wear these for activities other than cycling?
Yes, they are highly effective for hiking, commuting, or any outdoor activity where cold weather protection is needed.
Are these socks machine washable?
Yes, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with a wool-friendly detergent.
Do these socks shrink?
Merino wool can shrink if exposed to extreme heat. Always air dry to prevent shrinkage.
Is the material itchy?

Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight inside cycling shoes
The Woolie Boolie is thicker than standard cycling socks. Loosen the dial or strap adjustment on your shoes to allow for the extra volume.
Socks losing shape after washing
Avoid high-heat drying. Always air dry flat to maintain the integrity of the heel and toe pockets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For best results, ensure your cycling shoes have adequate volume to accommodate the thick wool construction. To extend the life of your socks, follow these care instructions: machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle using a wool-safe detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can break down the natural fibers. It is highly recommended to air dry the socks flat, as high heat from a tumble dryer can cause the Merino wool to shrink or lose its shape.
