FAQs
What does a 2.34 tog rating mean?
Tog is a measurement of thermal resistance. A 2.34 rating indicates high-level insulation, effectively trapping heat to keep you warm in extreme cold.
Can I wear these for daily use?
Yes, they are excellent for daily wear during very cold winters, though their thickness may require you to wear a larger shoe size.
Are these socks machine washable?
Yes, but they should be washed on a gentle cycle and air-dried to maintain their insulating performance.
Do they provide arch support?
These socks are primarily designed for thermal insulation and comfort rather than medical-grade arch support, though the thick knit offers general cushioning.
Are these socks unisex?
While this specific model is listed for men, the construction is similar across the range and can be worn by anyone seeking high thermal retention.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too bulky inside boots
Loosen the boot buckles or laces to accommodate the added thickness, ensuring you do not cut off circulation.
Excessive moisture buildup
Ensure you are not layering with non-breathable materials; the polyester is designed to handle moisture, but tight boots can trap sweat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Heat Holders, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at low temperatures (maximum 40°C).
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Do not tumble dry, as the heat can damage the specialized thermal fibers.
- Bleaching: Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals that can degrade the polyester material.
- Compatibility: These are ideal for use with ski boots, snow boots, and loose-fitting outdoor footwear. They are generally not recommended for thin dress shoes.
