Product Information
Full details
The Hoggs of Fife Wellington Boot Sockets are ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, including hunters, fishermen, and dog walkers, who need extra thermal protection during cold-weather outings. These over-socks provide essential warmth and moisture management by fitting comfortably inside wellington boots or waders, though users should ensure their footwear has sufficient internal space to accommodate the added thickness.

FAQs
Can I wear these without another pair of socks?
While possible, they are designed as an over-sock for maximum warmth and moisture control, so they perform best when worn over a thinner base layer.
What is the recommended washing temperature?
These sockets should be machine washed at 40°C.
Will these make my feet sweat?
The material is moisture-wicking, which is specifically designed to move sweat away from your skin to keep your feet dry.
Are these suitable for hiking?
They are primarily designed for wellington boots; for long-distance hiking, dedicated technical hiking socks may provide better arch support.
Do I need to buy a larger boot size to accommodate these?
If your boots are currently a snug fit, you may find the boots feel tight; these work best in boots with a standard or generous fit.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight inside the boot
Ensure you are not wearing a secondary thick wool sock underneath; use a thinner base layer for better fit.
Socks slipping down while walking
Ensure the socks are pulled up fully and that your wellington boot is properly fitted to prevent heel lift.
Pros and Cons

- Moisture-wicking material prevents dampness

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, pull the sockets up over your calves after putting on your base layer. They are fully compatible with most standard rubber or PVC wellington boots and chest waders. For care, it is recommended to turn them inside out before washing to help the moisture-wicking material clean thoroughly. Wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle. Air drying is preferred to preserve the integrity of the insulation, though they can be machine washed regularly without losing their structural shape.
