FAQs
What makes these socks 'Lite'?
The 'Lite' designation refers to their medium thickness, which provides significant warmth (1.6 TOG) without being overly bulky, making them suitable for everyday casual shoes.
Are these socks suitable for women?
While designed for men with sizes UK 6-11, women with similar foot sizes may find them suitable depending on their personal preference for fit and warmth.
How do I wash and dry the socks?
You can machine wash them at 40°C. They can be tumble dried, but line drying is recommended for best longevity and to maintain their thermal properties.
What is a TOG rating?
TOG is a measure of thermal insulation. A 1.6 TOG rating indicates a high level of warmth, significantly warmer than standard socks.
Can I wear these socks for sports?
These socks are designed for casual wear and warmth. For athletic activities, specialized sports socks are generally recommended for cushioning, moisture-wicking, and support.
What is the benefit of the brushed inner lining?
The brushed inner lining creates a dense, soft pile of fibers that traps warm air close to your skin, enhancing insulation and providing a plush, comfortable feel.
What does the partnership with Scleroderma & Raynaud's UK mean?
Heat Holders partners with SRUK, the only UK charity dedicated to improving the lives of people with Scleroderma and Raynaud's phenomenon, indicating a commitment to supporting those affected by conditions causing cold extremities.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the socks still feel tight after wearing, try stretching them gently after washing while damp.
Reduced warmth after washing
Follow care instructions carefully. Avoid high heat drying and harsh chemicals that can damage the thermal fibers. Line drying is recommended.
Pilling or fuzziness on the inside
Some minor pilling is normal with brushed linings after use. Gentle washing and avoiding excessive friction can minimize this. Do not try to pull off the fibers aggressively.
