Product Information
Full details
The Aubrion Equestrian Socks are tailored for adult riders who require a reliable, distraction-free fit while in the saddle or performing daily stable chores. These unisex knee-length socks offer an exceptional balance of breathability and performance, featuring a specialized anti-slip grip that ensures they remain securely in place during long periods of wear. While they provide excellent utility for competitive and casual riders, users should note that the ultra-lightweight fabric is designed primarily for a close fit inside riding boots, rather than heavy-duty thermal insulation for extreme winter conditions.

FAQs
Are these socks suitable for winter riding?
These are ultra-lightweight socks. While they are great for layering, they are not heavily insulated and may not be sufficient for very cold winter days.
Can I tumble dry these socks?
It is recommended to air dry them to maintain the elasticity of the fabric and the performance of the silicone grip.
Are they unisex?
Yes, the design and sizing are suitable for all adult riders.
What is the primary benefit of the silicone branding?
The silicone branding provides an anti-slip surface that anchors the sock to the inside of your riding boot, preventing them from falling down.
How do I care for the socks to keep them lasting longer?
Wash them inside out on a cool cycle and avoid fabric softeners, which can compromise the grip.
Troubleshooting
Socks slipping down inside the boot
Ensure the silicone grip area is clean and free of dirt or dust. If the problem persists, check that the boot size is not too large for the calf.
Silicone losing its grip over time
Wash the socks inside out to protect the grip pattern and avoid using fabric softeners or bleaching agents that can break down the silicone structure.
Pros and Cons

- Prevents slippage inside boots with effective silicone grip
- Lightweight construction reduces bulk

- Green colorway may not suit all traditional show attire
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the silicone grip, these socks should be turned inside out before laundering. Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the silicone and reduce its gripping performance over time. Air dry the socks rather than using a high-heat tumble dryer, as excessive heat can degrade the elasticity and the integrity of the anti-slip branding. These socks are highly compatible with most standard tall riding boots and field boots, offering a slim profile that prevents the boot from feeling overly tight or restrictive.
