Product Information
Full details
The Hoggs of Fife Wellington Boot Sockets are designed for adults who spend significant time outdoors in cold weather, providing an essential layer of extra warmth and comfort. These over-socks are specifically engineered to be worn over standard socks when using wellington boots or waders, making them an ideal companion for dog walkers, hunters, and fishermen. While they excel at moisture-wicking and insulation, users should note that because they are designed as a layering piece, they require enough volume inside the boot to ensure a comfortable fit without constriction.

FAQs
Are these socks intended to be worn alone?
No, they are designed as an over-sock to be layered on top of your primary socks for added warmth.
Can I wash these in a standard washing machine?
Yes, they are fully machine washable at 40°C.
Will these fit inside any wellington boot?
They fit inside most standard wellington boots, provided you have sufficient room for the extra thickness of the material.
What is the primary material used?
These socks are made from high-quality cotton, chosen for comfort and moisture-wicking capabilities.
Are these suitable for deep-winter hiking?
They provide excellent extra warmth for standing or walking in cold conditions, making them ideal for winter outdoor hobbies.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight inside the boot
Ensure your wellington boots have enough internal volume; you may need to wear a thinner base sock underneath or consider a larger boot size.
Socks slipping or bunching while walking
Ensure the socks are pulled up firmly and that your outer boot is properly secured; check that the base sock beneath is also pulled taut.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use these sockets, pull your standard cotton or wool socks on first, then slip the Hoggs of Fife sockets over them, ensuring the fabric is smooth and free of wrinkles to prevent rubbing. They are compatible with most brands of wellington boots, muck boots, and chest waders. For care, wash them in your machine at 40°C. Avoid tumble drying on high heat to maintain the elasticity and shape of the cotton fabric. Air drying in a well-ventilated area is recommended to preserve the longevity of the fibers.
