FAQs

Can I put these in the dryer?

Troubleshooting
Sock feels too tight around the arch
Ensure you are using the correct size; if the size is correct, ensure the sock is not twisted during application.
Sock slips down into the shoe
Check that the shoe is properly laced; ensure the sock is pulled fully over the heel to utilize the anatomical grip.
Excessive moisture buildup inside the shoe
Ensure your running shoes are breathable; verify that you are not wearing an additional layer over these performance socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your adidas Comfy socks, proper care is essential. It is recommended to machine wash these socks in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using heavy bleach or fabric softeners, as these can break down the performance fibers and decrease the effectiveness of the moisture-wicking technology. After washing, air drying is the best way to maintain the elasticity and structure of the fabric, though tumble drying on low heat is acceptable if necessary. These socks are compatible with all standard running shoes, including neutral and stability models, and are ideal for use with specialized athletic footwear that requires a low-profile ankle fit.
