FAQs
Are these socks suitable for daily casual wear?
While they can be worn casually, they are specifically performance-engineered for use under tight-fitting riding boots.
Will the silicone grip irritate my skin?
The silicone is designed to be hypoallergenic, but if you have sensitive skin, monitor the area for any signs of redness.
Are these socks breathable?
Yes, the fine knit construction is specifically designed for heat release and moisture management.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry them to ensure the silicone grip lasts as long as possible.
What is the primary material?
They are constructed from a durable and moisture-wicking nylon blend.
Do these socks come in different sizes?
They are designed for kids; please check the specific size chart provided by the retailer for your child's shoe size.
Troubleshooting
Socks slipping down during wear
Ensure the silicone print is placed correctly against the skin and that the calf is dry before putting the socks on.
Silicone grip losing tackiness
Wash the socks inside out with a mild soap to remove any residue from skin oils or sweat that might be blocking the grip.
Fabric snagging
Check the interior of your riding boots for rough edges or sharp spurs that could catch on the fine-knit nylon fabric.
Pros and Cons

- Silicone print may require delicate washing

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These socks are designed to be worn directly against the skin under tall boots or half-chaps. Because they are thin, they do not require any specific "break-in" period.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle to preserve the integrity of the silicone print.
- Avoid using strong detergents or fabric softeners that can degrade the nylon fibers or grip material.
- Air dry whenever possible; avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can cause the silicone to lose its tackiness or the fabric to shrink.
- Turn socks inside out before washing to protect the exterior finish and keep the silicone zones clean.
