FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the wool content?
The 60% wool content provides excellent natural insulation, keeping your feet warm and comfortable, especially in cooler weather conditions.
How do the reinforced heel and toe help?
These areas are reinforced to increase durability and provide extra protection against wear and tear, as well as cushioning on rough terrain.
Can these socks be worn in summer?
While wool has some thermoregulating properties, these socks are primarily designed for warmth in cooler conditions. They may be too warm for very hot summer weather.
What does 'antimicrobial technology' mean for my feet?
This technology helps to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping your feet fresher for longer and reducing the risk of foot odor.
How should I wash these wool socks?
It is recommended to machine wash on a wool or delicate cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Air drying is best to prevent shrinking.
What is the size range for these socks?
These socks are designed to fit UK shoe sizes 4-8.
What materials are these socks made of?
They are made from 60% Wool, 38% Polyamide, and 2% Lycra Elastane.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure you are within the specified size range (UK 4-8). If still an issue, consider socks with more elastane for greater stretch or a different brand if sizing is consistently problematic.
Reduced warmth after washing.
Check washing instructions. Ensure you used cold water and a wool-specific detergent. Avoid high heat drying, which can damage wool fibers and reduce insulation.
Socks are not staying up.
Ensure the ribbing is not stretched out. Gently hand wash to potentially restore some elasticity. For persistent issues, consider socks with a stronger elasticated band.
Skin irritation or blisters despite claims.
Ensure socks are correctly sized and boots are properly fitted. Ensure feet are dry before wearing. While antimicrobial, excessive moisture can still lead to issues; consider moisture-wicking liners if needed.
