Product Information

Full details

These Heat Holders Wool Rich Socks are designed for adults who enjoy outdoor activities and seek natural warmth and comfort. Their key benefit is providing superior warmth through a blend of natural wool and Heat Holders' advanced knitting and brushing technology, achieving a 2.7 TOG rating. A potential consideration is their specific knee-high length, which is ideal for taller boots but may be excessive for shorter footwear. The socks feature a long looped pile inner to trap warm air and cushion feet, making them suitable for hiking, dog walking, or gardening.

FAQs

Are these socks suitable for everyday wear?

While comfortable, their knee-high length and thermal properties are best suited for outdoor activities or situations requiring extra warmth. For casual everyday wear with shorter footwear, a standard length version might be more practical.

Can I wear these with regular shoes?

These are knee-high socks, designed primarily for use with taller boots. They might be too long and bulky for standard ankle boots or low-cut shoes, potentially causing discomfort or bunching.

How do I wash these wool-rich socks?

They are machine washable at a maximum of 40°C (104°F) using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

What does 2.7 TOG mean?

TOG (Thermal Overall Grade) is a measure of thermal insulation. A 2.7 TOG rating indicates a high level of warmth, making these socks very effective in cold conditions.

What is the difference between these and the nylon versions?

The Wool Rich version leverages the natural thermal and comfort properties of wool, enhanced by Heat Holders' technology. The nylon versions might offer different benefits such as faster drying times or a different feel, but typically the wool blend provides superior natural warmth.

Do these socks come in other sizes or colors?

This specific product is available in UK men's size 6-11 and a range of colors including Navy. Heat Holders also offers ladies' colors/sizes and standard length versions.

Are these socks waterproof?

No, these socks are not waterproof. They are designed for thermal insulation and comfort in dry or damp conditions, but not for prolonged exposure to water.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. While the elastane provides stretch, a size too small will always feel restrictive. Try a different pair if the issue persists across multiple wears.

Inner brushing feels rough

This is uncommon as the brushing is designed for softness. Ensure the socks are washed according to care instructions, as improper washing can affect texture. Consider an extra rinse cycle.

Reduced warmth after washing

Avoid using harsh detergents or high heat during washing and drying, as these can damage the wool fibers and insulation. Always follow the machine washable at 40°C and tumble dry low instructions.

Socks are not staying up

The elasticated cuff should provide a secure fit. Ensure the socks are pulled up fully and evenly. If the issue persists, the fabric may be stretched out after prolonged use.
