Product Information

Full details

These Hilly Marathon Fresh Anklet Min Running Socks are designed for adult runners seeking comfort and odor control on long runs. Their key benefit is the permanent Polygiene® technology that prevents bacterial growth and eliminates odor, ensuring freshness. A potential caveat is their minimum cushioning level, which may not suit runners preferring significant padding. Key features include integrated Polygiene® odor control, mid-level anatomical cushioning, a flat under-toe seam, and the use of LYCRA® SPORT fibre for a secure fit.

FAQs

What is Polygiene® technology and how does it work?

Polygiene® is a fabric treatment that uses low concentrations of silver salt, a natural antimicrobial agent, to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria and fungi directly on the sock fibers. It is permanent and bound to the fabric, so it won't wash out and doesn't interfere with your skin's natural bacterial flora.

How much cushioning do these socks offer?

These socks feature minimum cushioning. This means they offer a light layer of padding, primarily in the toe and heel pressure zones, providing a touch of comfort without adding significant bulk or reducing ground feel. It's Hilly's second level of cushioning, above their 'Zero Cushioning' option.

Are these socks suitable for everyday wear or just running?

While designed specifically for running with features like moisture management and supportive fit, their comfort and odor control also make them suitable for other athletic activities or general everyday wear if you prefer a thin, breathable sock.

What does the LYCRA® SPORT fibre do?

LYCRA® SPORT fibre is incorporated to provide a close, comfortable, and supportive fit. It helps the sock hug the foot, reducing the likelihood of folds and bunching, which can lead to irritation and blisters during activity.

How do I care for my Hilly Marathon Fresh socks to maintain their performance?

Machine wash cold with like colors. Avoid bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron or dry clean. The Polygiene® technology is permanent and will not be affected by standard washing and drying procedures.

What is the warranty or satisfaction guarantee?

Hilly offers a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If you encounter any issues with your socks, you should contact the retailer you purchased them from, and Hilly will work with the retailer to replace your pair.

Can the Polygiene® treatment cause skin irritation?

No, Polygiene® is designed to be safe and effective. It only works on the fabric itself to eliminate odor-causing bacteria and fungi and does not interfere with or affect the skin's natural bacterial flora.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check for any bunching of the fabric inside your shoe and adjust the sock for a smoother fit. The LYCRA® SPORT fibre provides a supportive hug, which might feel snug initially but should not cause discomfort.

Unexpected irritation or rubbing.

Confirm the flat under-toe seam is correctly positioned. Ensure no debris is trapped within the sock or shoe. If irritation persists, consider if the minimum cushioning level is adequate for your personal preference.

Socks do not seem to be wicking moisture effectively.

Ensure socks are not excessively worn or damaged, which can impair wicking properties. Check that your shoes provide adequate ventilation. Wash the socks according to care instructions, as fabric softeners can sometimes reduce wicking capabilities.
