Product Information

Full details

These Hilly Marathon Fresh Min Anklet Running Socks are designed for adult runners seeking comfort and odour control during long runs and training sessions. Their key benefit is the permanent Polygiene® odour control technology, which keeps feet fresh without impacting skin flora. A potential consideration is that they are specifically designed for running, so their features might be over-engineered for casual wear.

FAQs

How does Polygiene® technology work?

Polygiene® uses silver salt, a naturally occurring antimicrobial agent, to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi on the fabric. This prevents odour formation at the source, keeping the socks fresher for longer without harming your skin's natural bacterial flora.

Will the Polygiene® odour control wash out?

No, the Polygiene® technology is permanently bound and integrated into the sock fibres during manufacturing. It is designed to last the lifetime of the garment and will not wash out.

Are these socks suitable for everyday wear?

While comfortable, these socks are specifically engineered for high-performance running with features like anatomical cushioning and arch grip. They are best utilized for their intended purpose to maximize benefits, though they can be worn casually.

How do I know if I need size M?

Size M generally corresponds to a standard adult medium fit. Refer to sizing charts provided by Hilly or the retailer if available, or consider your usual shoe size and apparel size for guidance.

Can I use fabric softener with these socks?

It is not recommended to use fabric softener, as it can degrade the performance fibres and potentially interfere with the Polygiene® odour control technology. Wash with regular detergent and air dry or tumble dry on low.

What is the material composition?

The socks are made from 97% Polyamide (Nylon) and 3% Elastane (LYCRA SPORT) for durability, comfort, and stretch.

Troubleshooting

Sock feels loose or slips down

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The LYCRA® SPORT fibre and Y-heel are designed for a snug fit, but an incorrect size can affect performance. Check that the socks are fully pulled up and smoothed out around the ankle and arch.

Discomfort or chafing in the toe area

Verify that the flat under-toe construction is properly aligned. While designed to minimize chafing, ensure no debris is trapped in the sock or shoe. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe fit is contributing to the issue.

Odour control seems less effective over time

Ensure socks are washed according to care instructions, without harsh detergents or fabric softeners that could interfere with the Polygiene® technology. While permanent, extreme conditions or prolonged misuse might affect perceived freshness.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Permanent odour control thanks to Polygiene® technology.
  • Excellent fit and shape retention due to LYCRA® SPORT fibre.
  • Enhanced comfort with anatomical cushioning in pressure zones.
  • Improved breathability with vented upper construction.
  • Reduced risk of blisters and chafing from flat toe seam.

Cons

  • Specific design for running may not be ideal for other activities.
  • Colour might not suit all preferences.
  • Requires proper care to maintain material integrity and technology efficacy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These socks require no special setup. Simply wear them as you would any other pair of running socks.

Compatibility: Designed for adult runners. The M size is suitable for those who typically wear a medium in apparel. They are compatible with most running shoes.

Care Instructions: Machine washable. To maintain the integrity of the fabric and the Polygiene® technology, wash at a moderate temperature (e.g., 30-40°C or 85-105°F). Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the performance fibres and the anti-odour treatment. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry for best results and longevity.
