FAQs
Can I use these socks for hiking as well?
While designed for running, the moisture management and durability make them suitable for light hiking, though specific hiking socks with more overall cushioning may be preferred for rugged terrain.
Are these socks machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable. We recommend washing in cold or warm water on a gentle cycle and avoiding high-heat drying.
Do I need to worry about the wool being itchy?
No, SmartWool uses high-quality Merino wool fibers that are fine and soft, specifically engineered to be itch-free against the skin.
What does 'Targeted Cushion' mean?
It means the cushioning is strategically placed in specific areas that encounter the most impact, such as the ball of the foot and the heel, while keeping the rest of the sock thinner for breathability.
Will these socks shrink?
If laundered according to instructions, they should maintain their size. Avoid high-heat drying to minimize the risk of shrinkage.
Do these socks come in different sizes?
Yes, they are available in multiple sizes. Please consult the product size guide to match your shoe size to the appropriate sock size.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight around the arch
Ensure the 4 Degree Elite Fit System is aligned correctly; if the issue persists, verify that you are wearing the correct size per the manufacturer's chart.
Premature piling on the heel
Check your running shoes for internal debris or rough spots that may be causing unnecessary abrasion against the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your SmartWool socks, it is essential to follow proper care instructions. Wash the socks inside out in a gentle cycle with like colors using cool to warm water. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the performance properties of the Merino fibers. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to prevent excessive shrinkage or damage to the elastic components. These socks are compatible with almost all types of athletic footwear, from minimalist trainers to maximum-cushion road shoes.
