Product Information

Full details

These Heat Holders Wool Rich Socks are designed for adults who engage in outdoor activities and desire exceptional warmth and comfort. They combine the natural feel of wool with Heat Holders' advanced knitting and brushing technology to create a super-warm, 2.7 TOG rated sock. A potential consideration is their specific knee-high length, which may not be suitable for all footwear types. Key features include a wool-rich blend, a long loop pile inner for heat retention, and a knee-high design for extended coverage.

FAQs

Are these socks suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, they are suitable for everyday wear, especially in cold weather or if you work in a cold environment. Their primary design is for outdoor activities, but they provide excellent warmth for general use.

What does '2.7 TOG' mean?

TOG (Thermal Overall Grade) is a measure of thermal insulation. A 2.7 TOG rating signifies that these socks offer a high level of warmth, designed to keep feet very warm in cold conditions.

Can I wear these socks with regular shoes?

While they are designed for taller boots, you can wear them with regular shoes if the fit allows. However, their knee-high length might be bulky in lower-cut shoes, and you might not benefit from the full extended leg warmth.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The socks are available in a size UK 6-11. It's recommended to refer to any specific sizing charts provided by the manufacturer, but typically this range accommodates most adult foot sizes within that bracket. A snug fit is ideal for maximum heat retention.

Will these socks keep my feet warm if I have poor circulation?

The high thermal rating and brushed inner lining are designed to maximize heat retention, which can significantly help individuals with poor circulation stay warmer. However, individual results may vary.

Are there other colors or lengths available?

Yes, these socks are available in multiple colors, and there is also a standard length version and versions specifically for ladies, in addition to other material options like nylon.

How many pairs come in one pack?

This product listing is for one pair of socks.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight around the calf

Ensure you have selected the correct size. While designed for a snug fit for warmth, if consistently too tight, consider if a different model might be more suitable. The elasticity may also relax slightly with wear.

Reduced thermal performance over time

Follow the recommended washing and drying instructions carefully. Avoid high heat drying, which can damage the fibers and reduce their insulating properties. Ensure the inner pile is clean and free of debris.

Wool 'pilling' or fuzzing

Some minor pilling is normal with wool-rich garments due to friction. To minimize, wash inside out and avoid harsh agitation. If significant, gently remove fuzz with a fabric shaver.

Socks feel damp after extended use

While wool is moisture-wicking, in very high exertion activities, saturation can occur. Ensure socks are completely dry before wearing. If dampness persists, consider if the activity level exceeds the intended use for these socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Heat Holders Extra Long Heavy 2.7 TOG Knee High Thermal Wool Rich Socks are designed for adult males, with the specific grey variant being available in size UK 6-11. They are compatible with a wide range of footwear, particularly taller boots such as wellington boots, riding boots, or ski boots where extended leg coverage is beneficial. They are also suitable for casual wear in cold environments.

  • Machine Washable: These socks can be machine washed.
  • Temperature: Wash at a maximum of 40°C (104°F).
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry for best results and to maintain fabric integrity.

  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.

Following these care instructions will help preserve the thermal properties and shape of the socks.
