These socks are thermal due to their specialized brushed thermal lining, made from an advanced Japanese thermal yarn with a deep, long loop pile. This construction effectively traps warm air close to the skin, achieving a high TOG rating (2.3) for superior insulation.
While designed specifically for skiing and snow sports due to their extra-long length and ankle support, they are also excellent for any cold-weather activity or for general wear in winter to keep feet warm.
You can machine wash them at 40°C. Tumble drying is possible, but line drying is recommended to preserve the thermal properties and softness of the fabric.
The TOG rating measures thermal insulation. A TOG rating of 2.3 indicates a high level of warmth, making these socks very effective at keeping feet insulated in cold conditions.
These socks are available in UK sizes 6-11 (EUR 39-45) and UK 7-12 (EUR 39-45).
Yes, they are compatible with most winter footwear. However, due to their thermal properties, they can be thicker than standard socks. Ensure your boots have sufficient room to avoid a tight fit that could restrict circulation.
The fibre composition is 91% Acrylic, 5% Nylon, 3% Polyester, and 1% Elastane.
The socks feature a soft, brushed lining and cushioning from cuff to toe for enhanced comfort. However, individuals with specific sensitivities should consider the snug fit provided by the ankle support and overall sock thickness.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the socks are the correct size but still feel tight, ensure your footwear has enough room and is not overly constrictive. The ankle support is designed to be snug but should not cause numbness or pain.
Verify that the socks are fully covering the feet and legs without any gaps. Ensure your footwear is not preventing proper circulation. For extreme cold, consider layering with a thinner liner sock, though this may affect boot fit.
Follow the care instructions precisely. Machine wash at 40°C and preferably line dry. Over-drying in a tumble dryer or using harsh detergents can degrade the thermal properties over time.
Ensure the socks are pulled up fully and smoothly. Re-adjust your boot fit, as improper lacing or a poorly fitting boot can contribute to sock bunching. Check that the size is correct; socks that are too large may slide down.
Setup:
These socks require no special setup. Simply put them on before your activity or for everyday wear.
