It is not recommended. Heat can damage the Merino wool fibers and degrade the Lycra, leading to shrinkage and loss of shape.
While merino wool is naturally breathable, the midweight padding makes these better suited for cool to moderate temperatures rather than high-heat environments.
It refers to the Responsible Wool Standard, which ensures the welfare of the sheep and the land they graze on is managed according to strict ethical guidelines.
Thanks to merino wool's natural antimicrobial properties, you do not need to wash these after every single use unless they are visibly soiled.
The snug fit and anatomical design help prevent movement that causes blisters, but ensure your hiking boots are properly broken in as well.
Ensure all detergent residue is rinsed out thoroughly; use a wool-specific conditioning wash to restore fiber softness.
Check that the size is correct for your foot and ensure your boot laces are tightened properly to lock the heel in place.
To ensure the longevity of your merino wool socks, turn them inside out before washing to remove skin cells and debris from the footbed. Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cool or lukewarm water. Use a mild detergent designed for wool; avoid using bleach or heavy fabric softeners, as these can strip the natural properties of the merino fibers. Always air dry your socks by laying them flat in the shade, as the high heat of a tumble dryer can cause the wool to shrink and the Lycra to lose its elasticity.
