Yes, they feature a specialized breathable waterproof membrane that prevents external water from reaching your skin.
Yes, the merino wool inner is designed to be worn directly against the skin for moisture management and comfort.
Always air dry them. Do not tumble dry or place them directly on a radiator, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane.
The flat toe seam and ergonomic fit help reduce friction, but ensure your boots are also properly broken in for the best blister protection.
Because they are heavyweight and waterproof, they are generally too warm for summer use; they are best suited for autumn, winter, and early spring conditions.
Use a gentle cycle at 30°C and avoid fabric softeners, as these chemicals can clog the breathable pores of the waterproof membrane.
This is often caused by heavy perspiration trapped by the waterproof membrane; ensure you are not overdressing your feet and consider using a thin synthetic liner sock.
The StormSock is a heavyweight item; ensure your boots are correctly sized to accommodate the thicker material and adjust lacing to relieve pressure points.
Ensure the elastic arch support is properly positioned and check that your boot cuff is not too loose, which can drag the sock downward.
To ensure the longevity of the waterproof membrane, follow these guidelines. When putting on the socks, ensure they are pulled up evenly to prevent tension on the seams. These socks are best paired with waterproof boots that offer slightly more volume to accommodate the heavy-duty knit. For care, wash them inside out on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a mild detergent; avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the waterproof membrane. Always air dry the socks away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent damage to the elastic fibers and the waterproof laminate.
