FAQs

Are these socks suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, the Runton socks are specifically designed for cold environments, featuring merino wool for insulation and warmth.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the sizing guide for Sealskinz products. A proper fit is crucial for both comfort and the effectiveness of the waterproof membrane and Hydrostop technology.

Can I wear these socks with regular shoes?

While designed for outdoor activities, you can wear them with regular shoes. However, their full benefits are realized when paired with appropriate outdoor footwear that allows for the sock's breathability.

How long will the waterproof feature last?

With proper care, the waterproof membrane is designed for long-term durability. Adhering to washing and drying instructions is key to maintaining performance.

What is Hydrostop technology?

Hydrostop is a feature integrated into the sock cuff designed to create a closer bond with the skin, helping to prevent water from running down the leg into the sock.

Are the socks itchy?

The interior is lined with soft merino wool, which is known for its comfort and non-itchy properties. The waterproof membrane is on the outside.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel damp inside

Ensure socks are completely dry before wearing. Check for any damage to the waterproof membrane. Allow for proper ventilation during use and consider if the environmental conditions are exceeding the sock's breathability capacity.

Cuff causes rubbing or irritation

In rare cases, the close fit of the Hydrostop cuff may cause rubbing. Try adjusting the sock's position, ensuring no creases. If the issue persists, consider folding the cuff down slightly or wearing with a thinner liner sock. Ensure you have the correct size.

Reduced waterproofing over time

Follow the care instructions precisely to maintain the membrane's integrity. Avoid high heat drying or harsh detergents. If leaks are suspected, inspect carefully for any punctures or tears in the membrane.
