Product Information

Full details

The Hilly Marathon Fresh Anklet Running Socks are designed for adult runners seeking enhanced comfort and long-lasting freshness during their runs. Featuring Polygiene® odour control technology, these socks actively combat bacteria and fungi to keep your feet fresh. A potential drawback is that the specialized technology might be perceived as unnecessary by runners who don't experience significant odour issues. Key features include permanent anti-bacterial odour control, anatomical cushioning, a breathable vented upper, arch grip, flat toe construction, and a Y-heel for a secure fit.

FAQs

What is Polygiene® technology?

Polygiene® is a textile treatment that uses low concentrations of silver salt to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi, thereby preventing odour. It is permanently bound into the sock fibres and does not wash out.

Are these socks suitable for all types of running?

Yes, they are designed for committed runners and are suitable for road running, trail running, and track workouts due to their performance features like cushioning, breathability, and secure fit.

How long does the odour control last?

The Polygiene® StayFresh technology is permanent and integrated into the fibres, meaning the odour control effect is designed to last for the lifetime of the sock.

Can I use fabric softener with these socks?

It is generally recommended to avoid fabric softeners when washing technical running socks, as they can sometimes impede the performance of moisture-wicking and anti-odour treatments over time.

What does 'Anatomical Cushioning' mean?

This refers to cushioning strategically placed in areas of the foot that experience the most pressure during running, such as the heel and ball of the foot, to enhance comfort and reduce impact.

Do these socks provide ankle support?

These are anklet socks, meaning they cover the ankle bone. While they offer a secure fit around the ankle and heel, they do not provide structural ankle support in the way a compression sleeve might.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Hilly or the retailer. The socks are designed to fit snugly, so selecting the correct size based on your foot measurements is important for optimal performance and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel tight or constrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The LYCRA® SPORT fibre is designed for a snug fit, but excessive tightness may indicate an incorrect size.

Socks slipping down during a run.

Verify that the Y-heel is properly positioned around your heel and that the arch grip is snug. Ensure your running shoes are also fitting correctly.

Discomfort or chafing in the toe area.

Confirm the flat under toe construction is oriented correctly. Ensure there are no stray threads or debris inside your shoe that could cause irritation.

Odour persists after washing.

While Polygiene® is permanent, ensure the socks are washed thoroughly at the recommended temperature. Ensure they are fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective and permanent odour control thanks to Polygiene® technology.
  • Enhanced comfort with anatomical cushioning in pressure zones.
  • Secure and comfortable fit due to Y-heel and LYCRA® SPORT fibre.
  • Improved breathability with vented upper design.
  • Reduced chafing with flat toe seam construction.

Cons

  • Polygiene® technology may be an unnecessary feature for some users.
  • As anklet socks, they offer less protection for the ankle area compared to crew socks.
  • Specific care instructions may be required to maintain Polygiene® effectiveness, though it's noted as permanent.
  • Availability might be limited to specialized running stores or online.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear socks; no setup is required. Simply put them on before your run.

Compatibility: Designed for adult runners, compatible with all types of running shoes. The LYCRA® SPORT fibre ensures a universal snug fit.

Care Instructions: Machine washable at 40°C. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron. The Polygiene® technology is permanently integrated and will not wash out, but following standard garment care will prolong the sock's lifespan.
