Troubleshooting
Socks slipping down during activity
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the provided guide. Check that the elasticated turnover top and central foot band are not obstructed by other garments or accessories.
Feet feel damp or uncomfortable
While moisture-wicking, extreme conditions may still lead to some dampness. Ensure socks are fully dry before use. Consider if shin pads are trapping excess heat. Follow care instructions to maintain wicking properties.
Socks feel too tight or too loose
Refer to the detailed sizing chart and double-check your shoe size. The polyamide and elastane blend is designed for a snug fit, but if it feels excessively tight or loose, a different size may be required.
Seams feel irritating
The toe seams are designed to be external and smooth. If irritation persists, ensure the sock is positioned correctly on the foot and consider if you have a specific sensitivity to seam placement.
