FAQs

Are these socks suitable for hiking or other activities?

While designed for running, the Merino wool and cushioning make them comfortable for other activities like hiking, walking, or general athletic use where foot comfort and moisture management are important.

How many times can I wear these socks before washing?

Thanks to the natural antimicrobial properties of Merino wool, you can often wear these socks multiple times between washes, especially for shorter activities, reducing the need for frequent laundry.

What is the benefit of the 'anklet' design?

The anklet design offers a low-profile fit that stays securely in place around the ankle without being constrictive, preventing it from slipping down into your shoes during activity.

How does Merino wool compare to synthetic materials for running socks?

Merino wool offers superior natural temperature regulation, softness, and odor resistance compared to most synthetics. While synthetics can be very durable and quick-drying, Merino wool provides a unique combination of comfort and performance.

What does 'ethically sourced, non-mulesed' mean?

This means the wool comes from sheep that have been treated humanely, without the mulesing process, ensuring a more ethical and sustainable sourcing of the material.

Will these socks keep my feet warm in cold weather?

Yes, Merino wool is an excellent insulator and will help keep your feet warm in cold conditions. The breathability also prevents overheating if the temperature rises during your run.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try a different size if necessary. The ergonomic fit may also take a few wears to adapt to your foot's contours.

Increased friction or rubbing despite padding

Check that your running shoes fit correctly and are not causing undue pressure. Ensure the socks are pulled up smoothly without bunching.

Reduced moisture-wicking performance

Ensure the socks are clean and free from detergent residue. Over time, excessive washing with harsh chemicals can affect performance; follow care instructions closely.
