FAQs

What makes these socks so warm?

Their warmth comes from a combination of specially developed thermal yarn, an intensive thermal brushing process that traps air, and a unique long, looped cushion pile, all contributing to a high TOG rating of 2.34.

Are these socks suitable for everyday wear?

While very comfortable, their primary design is for extreme warmth. For very mild conditions or high-intensity activities where breathability is paramount, you might prefer a lighter sock. However, they are excellent for everyday wear in cold climates or for sedentary activities in chilly environments.

Can I wear these with athletic shoes?

Yes, you can wear them with athletic shoes, but keep in mind they are thicker than standard socks. If your athletic shoes fit snugly, you might find a slightly looser fit or a half-size larger shoe more comfortable.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The socks should fit snugly around your foot and leg without being uncomfortably tight. They are designed to hug your feet to maximize heat retention. If you experience pinching or discomfort, consider trying a larger size.

What does a TOG rating of 2.34 mean?

A TOG rating measures thermal insulation. A rating of 2.34 signifies that these socks provide significantly more warmth than a standard sock, approximately seven times warmer than a typical cotton sock.

How often should I wash these socks?

Wash them as needed. It is recommended to machine wash cold (30°C) and avoid tumble drying to preserve their thermal properties and softness.

Are these socks waterproof?

No, these socks are designed for thermal insulation and are not waterproof. They are intended to keep your feet warm and dry from sweat or mild moisture, not from immersion in water.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The thermal yarn can offer a snug fit, but if it feels constrictive, consider a size up. If the issue persists, check for manufacturing defects.

Reduced warmth over time

Ensure the socks have been washed according to the care instructions. Harsh detergents or high heat can degrade the thermal fibers. Re-washing with a mild detergent and air-drying may help restore properties.

Pilling or wear after washing

While durable, frequent aggressive washing or drying can cause pilling. Follow the recommended 'machine wash cold' and 'do not tumble dry' instructions to minimize wear.
