FAQs
Are these socks truly waterproof?
Yes, the Holverstone socks feature a three-layer Aquasealz membrane that provides 100% waterproof protection.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
While designed to be breathable, they are still waterproof socks. They are best suited for cooler, wet conditions or where rain and puddles are expected. In very hot, dry weather, standard non-waterproof socks might feel cooler.
How do I wash my waterproof running socks?
Machine wash at 40°C (105°F) with similar items. Drip dry away from direct heat.
Will these socks cause blisters?
The hand-linked toe seams and smooth construction are designed to minimize rubbing and prevent blisters.
What is the benefit of the bamboo lining?
The bamboo lining enhances breathability, wicks moisture away from the skin, and has natural anti-microbial properties to reduce odor.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the sizing guide and ensure the sock fits snugly around your foot and ankle, with the mid-foot grip in the correct position. A proper fit is crucial for both comfort and performance.
Can I put these socks in the dryer?
No, tumble drying is not recommended as it can damage the waterproof membrane. Always drip dry.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel wet after use.
Ensure the socks were washed and dried correctly. Check for any damage to the waterproof membrane. If the socks are relatively new and this persists, contact customer support.
Discomfort from mid-foot grip.
This is a design feature for stability. Try wearing them for shorter periods initially to allow your feet to adapt. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a snug, not tight, fit.
Reduced breathability.
Make sure the socks are clean and free from detergent residue. Over time, performance may slightly decrease; ensure proper care instructions are followed.
Odor persists.
While bamboo is anti-microbial, ensure socks are dried thoroughly after washing and wearing. Odor is significantly reduced but not always eliminated under extreme conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the waterproof and breathable properties of your Holverstone socks, always wash them at 40°C (105°F). It is recommended to drip dry them; avoid using tumble dryers or direct heat sources, as this can damage the waterproof membrane. No special detergents are needed. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
