Full details
These Hilly Marathon Fresh Anklet Socks in Blue (Size S) are designed for adult runners seeking comfort and odor control during their runs. Their key benefit is the Polygiene fabric treatment that permanently eliminates odor by inhibiting bacterial growth, while providing anatomical cushioning and enhanced breathability. A potential caveat is that the mid-to-low level cushioning may not be sufficient for runners who prefer very thick socks.

FAQs
What does Polygiene treatment do?
Polygiene is a fabric treatment that permanently inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria at the cellular level, keeping your socks fresh for longer.
Is the cushioning sufficient for trail running?
These socks offer mid to low-level anatomical cushioning, best suited for road running or well-maintained trails. For technical trails requiring more impact absorption, you might consider socks with higher cushioning.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The socks should fit snugly without constricting circulation. The Lycra Sport content provides a supportive hug, and there should be no significant folding or bunching of fabric inside your shoe.
Can I use fabric softener with these socks?
No, it is not recommended to use fabric softeners as they can interfere with the moisture-wicking properties and the effectiveness of the Polygiene treatment.
Are these socks suitable for hiking?
While the durability and support are beneficial, the anklet height and mid-to-low cushioning are primarily optimized for running. For longer hikes or varied terrain, you might prefer a higher sock with more cushioning.
How long does the odor control last?
The Polygiene treatment is permanent and designed to last the lifetime of the garment when cared for correctly.
What is the primary benefit of the "Upper Foot Venting"?
The Upper Foot Venting enhances airflow across the top of your foot, helping to manage heat and wick away moisture for improved comfort during activity.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is still too snug, try stretching them gently after washing.
Reduced odor control over time
While Polygiene is permanent, harsh detergents or high heat drying can impact performance. Ensure you are following the care instructions carefully. Washing with vinegar can sometimes help refresh the fabric.
Discomfort from seams
Double-check that the flat under toe seam is properly aligned. These socks are designed to minimize irritation, so significant seam discomfort may indicate an improper fit or a defect.
Socks are not drying quickly
Ensure the upper foot venting is not obstructed by your shoe's design. High polyamide content aids wicking, but excessive moisture in the environment or shoe can slow drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These socks require no special setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the packaging. They are compatible with most standard athletic footwear, including running shoes and trainers. To care for your Hilly Marathon Fresh Anklet Socks, machine wash them inside out with like colors on a cold cycle.
