FAQs

How does Polygiene® technology work?

Polygiene® uses low concentrations of silver salt, a naturally occurring antimicrobial agent, to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria and fungi directly on the fabric. It is permanently bound to the sock fibres and does not affect the skin's natural bacterial flora.

Will the odour control wash out?

No, the Polygiene® technology is permanently integrated into the sock fibres during manufacturing and will not wash out or wear away over time.

What is LYCRA® SPORT fibre?

LYCRA® SPORT fibre is a component that provides a close, comfortable, and supportive fit. It offers stretch and recovery, helping the sock to hug the foot securely and reduce slippage.

Is the cushioning sufficient for marathon running?

These socks feature mid to low-level anatomical cushioning, designed for balance between comfort, minimal weight, and maximum breathability. Runners who prefer very thick cushioning might find these less padded than other options.

Can I use these socks in cold weather?

While designed for optimal breathability and moisture management, they can be worn in cooler conditions. However, for extreme cold, additional thermal socks might be more suitable.

How should I care for these socks to maximize their lifespan?

Machine wash them in cool water with mild detergent, avoid fabric softeners and bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron.

What does 'Crew' refer to in the product name?

'Crew' refers to the sock height, indicating they rise to just above the ankle, offering protection and coverage suitable for running.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel damp or excessively wet.

Ensure socks are washed with mild detergent and have been thoroughly rinsed. Check that shoes have adequate ventilation and are not trapping moisture. Allow socks to air dry completely between uses.

Friction or irritation during run.

Verify that the correct size is being worn and that the socks are pulled up properly to avoid folds. Ensure the flat under toe seam is correctly positioned.

Odour returns after a few washes.

Polygiene® technology is permanently bound. Ensure you are not using fabric softeners, as these can build up on the fabric and inhibit breathability and the effectiveness of the odour control. Re-wash with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These running socks require no specific setup. They are compatible with all types of running shoes. To maintain their performance and longevity:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cool (30°C or 86°F).
  2. Detergents: Use mild detergents. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, or detergents containing harsh chemicals, as these can degrade the fabric and Polygiene® technology.
