FAQs
Are these socks made with Merino Wool?
Yes, they feature high-quality Merino Wool which provides natural moisture-wicking and odor-resistant properties.
What does 'Zero Cushion' mean?
It means the socks have no additional padding or terry loops on the sole, providing a thin, direct feel for high-performance running.
Are these suitable for cold weather?
Because they are thin, they are best for high-intensity activity where you generate significant body heat. They offer limited thermal insulation.
Will these help prevent blisters?
Yes, the Virtually Seamless toe and secure fit system are specifically designed to reduce the friction that causes blisters.
Can I put these in the dryer?
Yes, but use the low heat setting. High heat can cause the wool to lose its shape and longevity.
What is the benefit of the narrower heel shape?
The female-specific heel design prevents the sock from sliding down into your shoe, ensuring a snug, reliable fit throughout your run.
Troubleshooting
Sock feels like it is sliding or bunching
Ensure you have selected the correct size; the 4 Degree Elite Fit System relies on a snug fit to function properly.
Signs of wear appearing at the toe
Check your running shoes for internal debris or loose insoles, and ensure your toenails are trimmed regularly to avoid damaging the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the longevity of your Smartwool socks, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash inside out in warm water on a gentle cycle. Use mild soap to preserve the natural properties of the merino wool.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. Avoid high heat as it can accelerate the wear of the synthetic fibers and shrink the wool content.
- Bleaching: Never use chlorine bleach, as it will degrade the merino wool fibers.
- Compatibility: These are best paired with low-profile running shoes. The 'Ankle' cut is designed to sit right at or just below the collar of most standard training sneakers.
