Product Information
Full details
The DeFeet Woolie Boolie 6" sock is designed for adult cyclists, runners, and outdoor enthusiasts who require maximum thermal insulation and cushioned comfort in cold weather conditions. Crafted from high-grade Merino wool, these socks excel at maintaining foot warmth while offering natural breathability, though they may feel thicker than traditional lightweight athletic socks, which can affect the fit of very tight-fitting performance footwear.

FAQs
Are these socks machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable. It is recommended to use a cold water cycle and mild detergent, and to air dry them for best longevity.
Can these be worn for activities other than cycling?
Absolutely. While popular for cycling, the thermal properties and padding make them excellent for running, hiking, or general cold-weather use.
What is RWS certification?
RWS stands for Responsible Wool Standard, which confirms the wool is sourced through audited sheep and land management practices.
Are they itchy like traditional wool?
No, DeFeet uses high-grade Merino wool which is significantly softer and finer than traditional wool, designed specifically to prevent irritation.
Will these keep my feet dry?
Merino wool is naturally moisture-wicking, meaning it pulls sweat away from the skin, helping to keep your feet dry even during high-exertion activities.
Troubleshooting
Socks feeling too tight in shoes
The Woolie Boolie is thicker than standard cycling socks; check your shoe volume and consider loosening your adjustment dials or laces to ensure blood flow.
Socks losing shape after washing
Avoid using high-heat settings in the dryer and never use bleach; stick to cold water cycles and air dry to maintain elasticity.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent thermal properties for cold weather
- High level of cushioning and comfort
- Ethically sourced Merino wool (RWS certified)

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Woolie Boolie is a performance-cushioned sock, ensure your cycling or running shoes are not fitted so tightly that the extra volume constricts circulation, as this will counter the thermal benefits. For care, wash the socks in cold water on a gentle cycle. To prolong the life of the Merino wool fibers, air dry or tumble dry on a very low heat setting. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the natural oils and performance properties of the wool.
