Sealskinz Wissington Running Socks - Black / L

While engineered for running, the Merino wool and cushioning provide excellent comfort and support for other activities like hiking, especially in moderate conditions.

Thanks to the natural antimicrobial properties of Merino wool, you can often get multiple wears before washing, especially for shorter or less intense activities. This depends on personal preference and environmental conditions.

Non-mulesed wool is sourced from sheep that have not undergone the mulesing procedure, which is a practice aimed at preventing parasitic flystrike but is considered inhumane by many. It signifies a more ethical sourcing of the wool.

Yes, Merino wool is naturally thermoregulating, meaning it helps keep your feet cool in warm weather by wicking away moisture and allowing air circulation.

The primary difference lies in the use of ethically sourced Merino wool for thermoregulation and natural odour control, combined with specific running features like targeted cushioning and blister protection.

The socks should fit snugly without being tight. Ensure there are no pressure points or excessive looseness. The dedicated left and right construction should align comfortably with your foot's contours.

No, these are highly breathable and moisture-wicking running socks, not waterproof socks. They are designed to manage sweat and keep your feet dry from the inside.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart and confirm you are wearing the correct left and right sock.

While durable, prolonged heavy use can eventually compress the footbed padding. Proper care as per instructions can help extend its effectiveness.

While designed to prevent blisters, ensure your running shoes fit correctly and that the socks are not bunching up. The Achilles heel protector is specifically designed for this area.

Merino wool retains some moisture naturally but is highly breathable. Ensure adequate ventilation in your footwear and avoid overloading the socks with excessive moisture from very wet conditions.
