FAQs

Are these socks suitable for hiking?

While designed for running, the cushioning and moisture-wicking properties of Merino wool can also make them comfortable for moderate hiking. However, for very rugged terrain or longer treks, thicker hiking-specific socks might offer more protection.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The socks feature specific left and right designs for an anatomical fit. They should feel snug but not constricting, with no excessive bunching or slipping. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements.

Can I wear these in very hot weather?

Yes, Merino wool is naturally breathable and thermoregulating, which helps to keep your feet cool even in warm conditions by wicking away moisture.

How often should I wash these socks?

It is recommended to wash running socks after each use to maintain hygiene and performance. Follow the care instructions provided to preserve the fabric.

Will these socks keep my feet warm in cold weather?

Merino wool provides excellent insulation and warmth even when damp, making these socks suitable for running in colder temperatures.

What does 'non-mulesed' Merino wool mean?

'Non-mulesed' means the wool is sourced from sheep that have not undergone the mulesing procedure, which is a practice some consider to be inhumane. It indicates an ethical sourcing approach.

Are these socks waterproof?

No, these socks are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and moisture-wicking to manage sweat during exercise.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight or constricting

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing guide. If the issue persists, consider trying a larger size.

Reduced moisture-wicking performance

Avoid using fabric softeners during washing. Ensure socks are properly clean and free of residue. Check for any damage to the fabric.

Socks slipping down the ankle

Confirm the correct size is being used. Ensure shoes are laced appropriately to provide some support. The ergonomic design should minimize this, but fit can vary.

Discomfort or rubbing at the heel

Verify the sock is on the correct foot (left/right specific). Ensure no debris is inside the shoe. The Achilles protector is designed to prevent this, so ensure it is positioned correctly.
