FAQs

What is the primary material of these socks?

The socks are primarily made of Merino wool, known for its warmth, breathability, and odor resistance.

Are these socks suitable for all seasons?

These socks are best suited for cooler weather and provide full cushioning for hiking. They can be worn in warmer weather, but the full cushioning may make the feet feel warmer.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Smartwool size chart, which uses UK shoe sizes for a precise fit. The socks are available in multiple sizes. The socks also have a 4 Degree™ Elite Fit System for a dialed-in fit.

Can I use these socks for running?

While the socks can be worn for various activities, they are specifically designed for hiking, offering more cushioning and support than a typical running sock.

How should I store these socks?

Store the socks in a dry place. Ensure they are clean and completely dry before storing to prevent any potential mold or mildew growth.

What is the benefit of the Indestructawool™ technology?

Indestructawool™ technology provides extended durability zones, increasing the lifespan of the socks in areas prone to wear and tear.

Are these socks ethically sourced?

Yes, the Merino wool is responsibly sourced and ZQ-certified for sustainable practices.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight after washing.

Ensure you are washing the socks in cold water and tumble drying on low heat. Avoid hot water and high heat, which can cause shrinking.

Socks are pilling excessively.

Wash the socks inside out to reduce pilling. Avoid washing with items that have Velcro or rough surfaces.

Odour persists after washing.

Use a detergent designed for wool and ensure the socks are completely dry before storing.

Socks are wearing out quickly.

Ensure you are using the correct size socks for your boots. This will help reduce wear and tear. Also make sure to follow the provided care instructions.
