FAQs
Are these socks suitable for hiking?
While engineered for running, the Merino wool's comfort and thermoregulation make them suitable for moderate hiking. For very rugged terrain or extended multi-day hikes, consider socks with higher cushioning or ankle support.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The socks should feel snug but not constricting. There should be no significant bunching in the shoe or excessive tightness around the ankle or arch.
Can I wear these in very hot weather?
Yes, Merino wool is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking, which helps keep feet cool and dry even in warmer temperatures.
How often should I wash these socks?
It's recommended to wash them after each use, especially after running, to maintain hygiene and the integrity of the Merino wool.
Are these socks waterproof?
No, these are running socks designed for breathability and comfort, not waterproofing. Sealskinz offers separate waterproof sock lines for wet conditions.
What does 'non-mulesed' Merino wool mean?
It means the wool has been sourced from sheep treated ethically, without the controversial mulesing procedure.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the brand's sizing guide. Try a different size if necessary.
Reduced thermoregulation effect
Ensure socks are clean and free from residues that might impede wool's natural properties. Check that the size is correct and not constricting circulation.
Socks lose shape after washing
Follow the recommended care instructions precisely. Avoid high heat drying or harsh washing cycles.
