Product Information
Full details
These Smartwool Run Targeted Cushion Ankle Socks are designed for female runners seeking enhanced comfort and performance during their runs. The key benefit is their ability to keep your focus on your activity, not your footwear, thanks to advanced fit and durability technology. A potential consideration is the women's specific fit, which may not be ideal for all foot shapes. Key features include Indestructawool technology for durability, the 4 Degree Elite Fit System for a secure fit, a virtually seamless toe, and moisture-wicking, temperature-regulating merino wool.

FAQs
Are these socks suitable for hiking?
Yes, while designed for running, the merino wool's comfort, moisture management, and cushioning make them suitable for hiking and other outdoor activities.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart, usually available on their website or product packaging. Ensure your heel aligns with the sock's heel pocket and there's no excessive pressure or looseness.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
Merino wool is excellent at temperature regulation. These socks will help wick moisture away from your skin, keeping your feet cooler and drier even in warm conditions.
How often should I wash these socks?
It's best to wash them after each use, especially after athletic activities, to maintain hygiene and prevent odor buildup. Follow the care instructions for washing.
What does 'Indestructawool' mean?
Indestructawool is Smartwool's proprietary technology that incorporates a unique 'uni-body' construction in the heel and toe to create exceptionally durable socks.
Are these socks good for trail running?
These socks offer good cushioning and fit, which are beneficial for trail running. However, for very technical trails or extreme conditions, you might consider socks with more targeted impact protection or higher ankle coverage.
What is the main difference between these and regular athletic socks?
The primary differences are the use of merino wool for superior moisture management, temperature regulation, and odor resistance, combined with advanced fit systems (like 4 Degree Elite Fit) and durable construction technologies (like Indestructawool) specifically for performance.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart if available. A women's specific fit might feel different than a unisex sock.
Increased irritation or blisters
Verify the socks are oriented correctly (left/right if applicable) and that there are no internal seams or debris. Ensure the socks are not bunched up inside the shoe.
Socks losing elasticity over time
Avoid high heat drying and harsh detergents, which can degrade elastic fibers. Follow the recommended care instructions carefully.
