Product Information
Full details
The Hoggs of Fife Wellington Boot Sockets are ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, including dog walkers, hunters, and fishermen who require extra insulation during cold-weather outings. These socks provide a crucial layer of warmth and moisture-wicking comfort when worn over standard socks inside wellingtons or waders. While they offer superior thermal benefits for long days in the field, it is important to note that their thickness is specifically engineered for loose-fitting waterproof boots, which may feel tight in standard everyday footwear.

FAQs
Can I wear these as my only pair of socks?
While possible, they are specifically engineered to be worn as an 'over sock' for maximum insulation.
Are these socks suitable for machine washing?
Yes, they can be machine washed at 40°C.
What is the primary material used?
The socks are made from high-quality, moisture-wicking cotton.
Will these help with sweaty feet?
Yes, the moisture-wicking design helps pull sweat away from the foot, keeping you drier than standard heavy socks.
Are these unisex?
Yes, they are designed as a unisex product suitable for all adults.
Do I need to size up my boots?
If you already have wellington boots that fit perfectly with thin socks, you might find them slightly tight with these; however, most outdoor boots have enough room to accommodate the extra layer.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight when wearing the socks
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base-layer socks and check that your wellington boots are not sized too small for a secondary layer.
Socks slipping down inside the boot
Ensure the top of the sock is pulled firmly over the calf and secured by the fit of your wellington boot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Hoggs of Fife Wellington Boot Sockets, ensure your wellington boots or waders have sufficient room; if your boots are already tight-fitting, these socks may restrict circulation. For cleaning, machine wash the socks at 40°C. Avoid using heavy bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the natural moisture-wicking ability of the cotton fibers over time. Air drying is recommended to maintain the shape and elasticity of the cuff.
