Yes, they are machine washable on a gentle cycle, but we recommend cold water and air drying to extend the life of the wool.
Yes, the merino wool is excellent at thermoregulation and wicking sweat, keeping your feet cool and dry in warmer temperatures.
The Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) ensures that the wool comes from farms with a progressive approach to managing their land and from sheep that are treated responsibly.
The ergonomic fit is designed to minimize slipping and friction, which are the primary causes of blisters during long treks.
While designed for hiking, their comfort and odor-resistant properties make them suitable for everyday use if you prefer a performance-oriented sock.
Ensure you have selected the correct size and that your boot is properly laced to provide enough pressure to keep the sock in place.
Ensure your boots have adequate breathability. If your boots are fully waterproof, merino socks will wick moisture, but the boot itself must allow that moisture to escape.
For the best results, ensure your boots are correctly sized, as the ergonomic fit of these socks relies on a consistent footprint. For care, wash your socks in cold water on a gentle cycle. To preserve the merino wool's longevity and shape, air dry your socks whenever possible; avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can cause the natural fibers to shrink or degrade over time. Turn socks inside out before washing to help remove debris and maintain surface appearance.
