FAQs
What activities are these socks best suited for?
These Karrimor socks are specifically designed for running, but their moisture-wicking and padded features also make them suitable for general fitness workouts, gym sessions, and other athletic activities.
How does the anti-odour treatment work?
The AntiODR antimicrobial treatment helps inhibit the growth of odour-causing bacteria on the fabric, keeping your feet feeling fresher for longer during and after your runs.
Are these socks only for men?
The product description specifies 'Mens socks'. While many features are universal, they are marketed towards men. Info needed: Specific sizing differences for male vs. female feet if applicable.
Can I tumble dry these socks?
Yes, they can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. However, for best results and to extend the life of the socks, air drying is recommended.
What is 'Dry-X Moisture Wicking Fabric'?
Dry-X is a specialized fabric technology designed to pull moisture (sweat) away from your skin and transfer it to the outer surface of the sock, where it can evaporate quickly. This process helps to keep your feet dry and comfortable.
How do I know which sock goes on which foot?
Each sock is anatomically shaped and typically marked with an 'L' for left and 'R' for right to ensure an optimal ergonomic fit.
What material are these socks made from?
The Karrimor 2 Pack Running Socks are made from a blend of 51% Nylon, 23% cotton, 23% polyester, and 3% Lycra, providing a balance of durability, stretch, and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel uncomfortable or bunch up during a run.
Ensure you are wearing the correct left (L) and right (R) sock, as they are anatomically shaped. Also, confirm you have the correct size for your feet to prevent slippage or tightness. Smooth out any wrinkles before starting your activity.
Feet still feel sweaty or damp during exercise.
While Dry-X fabric is highly effective, environmental conditions and individual sweat rates vary. Ensure your running shoes are breathable. After washing, verify the socks are completely dry before wearing. If the issue persists, consider trying a different shoe type or allowing your feet to air out periodically.
Odour persists despite the anti-odour treatment.
Wash socks immediately after each use. Ensure your shoes are also clean and dry, as odour from shoes can transfer. For persistent odour, consider a dedicated sports detergent or adding a small amount of white vinegar during the wash cycle (rinse thoroughly).
Socks seem to be losing their cushioning or elasticity over time.
This can happen with prolonged use or improper care. Always follow the washing instructions, avoiding high heat in washing or drying, and refrain from using fabric softeners, which can degrade fabric performance. Replace socks when they no longer provide adequate support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Identify Left and Right: Each sock is anatomically shaped for your left (L) and right (R) foot. Check the marking on the sock to ensure you wear them on the correct foot.
- Pull On Smoothly: Gently pull the sock up your foot, ensuring the heel cup is properly seated and there are no wrinkles or bunched fabric, especially around the toes and arch.
Compatibility
- Running Shoes: These socks are primarily designed for use with running shoes, complementing their cushioning and support.
- Other Athletic Footwear: Can also be used with other athletic or training shoes for general fitness activities where moisture management and cushioning are beneficial.
Care Instructions
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Karrimor running socks, follow these care guidelines:
- Machine Washable: Wash the socks in a washing machine with similar colours.
- Water Temperature: Use cold or warm water. Avoid hot water, as it can degrade fabric elasticity and the anti-odour treatment.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended to preserve fabric integrity and elasticity. If using a dryer, tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid high heat.
- Avoid Fabric Softeners: Fabric softeners can clog the fibers of moisture-wicking materials, reducing their effectiveness.
