Full details

The key benefit is complete waterproofness combined with breathability, preventing soggy feet and discomfort.

FAQs
How do I ensure the best waterproof performance?
To maintain optimal waterproof performance, always wash the socks inside out and drip dry away from direct heat. Avoid using fabric softeners, bleach, tumble drying, or ironing, as these can damage the Aquasealz membrane.
Can my child wear these socks with any shoes?
Yes, these socks are designed to be worn with a variety of footwear, including wellington boots, trainers, and hiking shoes. Ensure the footwear fits comfortably over the socks.
How do I clean the socks?
Wash the socks inside out in cool water (up to 40°C or 104°F). Rinse thoroughly and allow them to drip dry away from any direct heat source. Do not iron or tumble dry.
What is the benefit of the bamboo lining?
The bamboo viscose lining offers enhanced breathability, helping to wick away moisture and perspiration from the skin. It also has natural anti-microbial properties that help prevent odor.
How durable are these socks?
The outer layer is made of extra-durable nylon, designed to withstand the rigors of active play. However, like all waterproof membranes, extreme or prolonged abrasion can eventually affect their integrity.
Are these socks suitable for very cold weather?
These are all-weather socks, offering waterproof protection and breathability. For extreme cold, layering with a thinner liner sock might be considered, but their primary function is keeping feet dry rather than providing heavy insulation.
What does 'hand-linked seams' mean?
Hand-linked seams are a construction method where the seams are joined by hand using a specific technique to create a flat, smooth finish. This significantly reduces the potential for rubbing and friction, thereby preventing blisters.
Troubleshooting
Feet still feel damp after wearing
Ensure socks are completely dry before wearing. Check that the socks are the correct size and not bunching up. Verify that no water has entered the sock from the top opening. Ensure the outer fabric is not saturated, which could indicate a breach in the membrane over time.
Socks feel too warm
While breathable, these socks are designed for waterproofness. In very hot and dry conditions, they may feel warmer than standard socks. For such weather, consider lighter, non-waterproof options. Ensure the socks are not too tight, which can restrict airflow.
Mid-foot grip is not effective
Ensure the sock is pulled up correctly and that the mid-foot section is aligned properly around the arch of the foot. Make sure the inside of the sock and the foot are clean and dry.
Seams are causing discomfort
Though hand-linked to minimize friction, ensure the sock is the correct size and worn smoothly. If discomfort persists, discontinue use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These socks are designed to be worn like regular socks. Ensure the correct size is selected for a snug, comfortable fit. The mid-foot grip works best when the sock is properly aligned on the foot.
Compatibility: Suitable for all outdoor activities where feet may get wet, including playing in puddles, hiking in wet conditions, cycling, or any sport played in damp environments. They are compatible with most types of footwear, from wellington boots to trainers.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Wash inside out at 40°C (104°F).
- Drying: Drip dry inside out, away from direct heat sources like radiators or fires. Do not tumble dry or iron.
- Waterproofness: For best results and to maintain the waterproof membrane, avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Avoid prolonged exposure to high heat, which can degrade the membrane.
