FAQs
Can I wear these for activities other than hiking?
Yes, while designed for hiking, their cushioning and arch support make them suitable for any outdoor activity where impact protection is needed.
How do I determine my size?
The socks are offered in generic size ranges. Consult the sizing chart to match your shoe size to the appropriate XS, S, M, or L variant.
Are these socks moisture-wicking?
Yes, they are constructed with materials designed to manage moisture to keep your feet dry during strenuous outdoor activity.
Can I put these in the dryer?
While machine drying on low heat is possible, air drying is highly recommended to extend the lifespan of the fabric and elastic components.
Do these have compression features?
They feature 'half belt' support for the arch, which offers a snug, supportive feel, but they are not categorized as medical-grade compression socks.
Troubleshooting
Socks slipping down during a hike
Ensure the ribbed top is not stretched out from improper machine drying and verify that your boot is laced firmly enough to keep the sock in position.
Feeling hotspots or discomfort
Double-check that the sock is pulled taut without wrinkles before putting on your boots and ensure your boots are correctly fitted to your foot size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your socks, follow these care guidelines: wash in cold water with similar colors and use a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can break down the moisture-wicking and cushioning properties of the fibers. It is recommended to air dry these socks whenever possible to prevent the elastic in the ribbed cuff from losing its snap due to high dryer heat. These socks are compatible with most standard hiking footwear, including leather boots and synthetic trail runners.
