Product Information
Full details
The Shires Aubrion Eltar socks are designed for adult riders who require enhanced stability and comfort while wearing riding boots. By utilizing a fine-knit material that promotes breathability and featuring targeted silicone grip, these socks provide a secure, sag-free fit that minimizes moisture buildup; however, users should note that the specialized grip is specifically optimized for boot contact and may feel different against skin compared to standard everyday hosiery.

FAQs
Are these socks suitable for daily casual wear?
While they can be worn casually, they are specifically engineered with features like silicone grip and thin, moisture-wicking material meant for the high-performance demands of horse riding.
Do the seams rub during long rides?
No, the socks feature flat toe seams specifically designed to sit flush against the skin, minimizing the risk of rubbing or discomfort.
Can I put these in the dryer?
It is not recommended. The high heat of a tumble dryer can damage the silicone grip logos and may cause the fine knit material to lose its shape.
Is the silicone print noticeable inside the boot?
The grip is designed to be low-profile, so you should feel the stability it provides without significant bulk or discomfort against your leg.
How do I choose the right size?
These are standard adult sizes designed to be stretchy and form-fitting. They should provide a snug, secure fit without cutting off circulation.
Troubleshooting
Sock feels slippery against skin
Ensure the skin is dry before putting on the socks. The grip is intended for boot-to-sock contact, not direct skin-to-surface contact.
Silicone grip losing tackiness
Wash the socks thoroughly to remove dust, dirt, or grooming products that may have transferred to the silicone. Ensure they are fully dried after washing.
Pros and Cons

- Moisture-wicking fine-knit fabric
- Minimal bulk design for improved comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the silicone grip and the integrity of the fine-knit material, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Turn the socks inside out before washing to protect the silicone grip print from abrasive surfaces in the machine.
- Temperature: Use a cool or lukewarm wash cycle (max 30 degrees Celsius) to prevent fiber degradation.
- Drying: Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can compromise the adhesive properties of the silicone. Air drying is highly recommended.
- Compatibility: These socks are compatible with most standard leather or synthetic riding boots. The grip is most effective when the boot lining is clean and free of excessive debris or heavy wax treatments.
