FAQs
Are these socks completely waterproof?
Yes, they feature the Aquasealz membrane which makes them 100% waterproof.
Can I wear these in the winter?
While they are waterproof, they are the thinnest option in our range and are optimized for warm weather. They will not provide significant insulation against freezing temperatures.
How do I wash my Wiveton socks?
Wash at 30°C with non-bio detergent. Do not use softeners or bleach, and do not tumble dry.
Are they suitable for trail running?
Yes, their seamless construction and close-fitting design make them excellent for running, where minimizing friction is key.
What is the benefit of the bamboo lining?
Bamboo is naturally moisture-wicking, antibacterial, and very soft, which helps keep your feet comfortable and odour-free.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel wet inside
Verify if the water is entering through the top of the cuff during deep water crossings or if it is excessive internal perspiration.
Socks are losing shape
Check your wash settings to ensure you are not using high heat, which can damage the elastic fibres.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best performance from your Wiveton socks, ensure you select the correct size to maintain the intended fit of the 4-way stretch fabric. When caring for your socks, machine wash them at low temperatures (30°C/85°F). Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these chemicals can degrade the Aquasealz waterproof membrane. Always hang dry or air dry your socks; do not tumble dry them, as high heat can damage the specialized technical layers.
