FAQs
Are these socks suitable for summer riding?
These are primarily designed for cold-weather insulation. They will likely be too warm for high-intensity summer cycling.
Can I use these for sports other than cycling?
Yes, their cushion and thermal properties make them excellent for hiking, skiing, or any outdoor activity in cool climates.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
These follow standard apparel sizing. If you are between sizes, consider the volume of your cycling shoes.
Where are these socks made?
Defeet knits all their products in their North Carolina microsockery using USA-grown Merino wool.
Will these socks shrink?
While Merino wool is durable, it can shrink if subjected to high heat. Always air dry your socks to maintain their original size and shape.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight inside the shoe
The Woolie Boolie is a thick, insulated sock. Ensure your shoe straps or dials are loosened to accommodate the extra material volume.
Socks losing loft or softness
Avoid high-heat tumble drying and harsh detergents. Using a dedicated wool wash can help restore fiber softness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Woolie Boolies, proper care is essential. Always machine wash on a gentle cycle using a wool-safe detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the Merino fibers and degrade their natural moisture-wicking and antimicrobial properties. Air drying is highly recommended to prevent shrinkage. When pairing these with footwear, keep in mind that the plush, cushioned build occupies more volume than traditional synthetic race socks; ensure your cycling shoes have adequate adjustment room in the toe box to accommodate the thickness without restricting circulation.
