Product Information
Full details
The Shires Aubrion Eltar socks are designed for adult riders who require enhanced comfort and stability while wearing riding boots. Featuring a lightweight, fine-knit construction, these socks actively manage moisture to keep legs feeling refreshed; however, users should note that the thin material is specifically optimized for performance under boots and may not provide heavy-duty insulation for extreme cold weather conditions.

FAQs
Are these socks suitable for winter riding?
These socks are designed for heat management and moisture-wicking. They are relatively thin and may not provide sufficient warmth for freezing temperatures.
Can these be machine washed?
Yes, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with the socks turned inside out to protect the silicone print.
Will the silicone print irritate my skin?
The silicone is printed on the exterior of the inner leg area to grip the boot, not the skin, so it should not cause direct irritation.
Are these unisex?
While listed under various genders, the design is highly versatile; check the sizing chart to ensure the correct fit for your foot size.
Do these socks stretch over time?
They are made with high-quality elastic components designed to retain their shape, though standard wear and tear over time is expected.
Troubleshooting
Sock slipping or sagging inside the boot
Ensure the silicone-printed area is positioned correctly against the inner leg and verify that the boot is tightened to the appropriate level.
Silicone grip losing tackiness
Wash the socks thoroughly to remove skin oils and dust buildup. If residue persists, ensure you are not using silicone-heavy fabric softeners.

- Moisture-wicking properties keep legs dry

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Aubrion Eltar socks, turn them inside out before washing to protect the integrity of the silicone logo grips. Use a mild detergent and wash on a cool setting. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can coat the silicone and reduce its gripping properties over time. For best results, air dry the socks rather than using a high-heat tumble dryer, which can break down the elastic fibers and silicone application.
