FAQs
Can I wash these in a regular machine?
Yes, but it is recommended to use a gentle, cold-wash cycle to protect the wool fibers.
Are these socks suitable for summer hiking?
These are high-wool socks primarily designed for warmth and insulation, making them best suited for autumn, winter, or early spring hikes.
Do these socks prevent blisters?
The combination of moisture-wicking fabric, fine toe seams, and cushioned lining helps reduce the friction and moisture that typically cause blisters.
What is the primary benefit of the antimicrobial technology?
It helps inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping your feet and socks fresh during long treks.
Why is the toe seam important?
A fine, flat toe seam prevents the irritation and rubbing against the skin that often leads to soreness or blisters during long walks.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight in boots
The cushioned terry lining adds volume; ensure your hiking boots are sized to accommodate slightly thicker socks or loosen the laces significantly.
Loss of softness over time
Avoid fabric softeners which can coat the fibers. Air dry your socks instead of using high-heat tumble drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your socks, always turn them inside out before washing to protect the cushioning. Use a gentle, cold-wash cycle with mild detergent—avoid harsh bleaches or fabric softeners, which can strip away the moisture-wicking performance and damage the wool fibers. Air drying is highly recommended to prevent shrinkage. These socks are compatible with most standard hiking boots and trail shoes; however, ensure your footwear is correctly sized, as the added thickness of the terry cushion might make tight boots feel snug. For best results, pair these with moisture-wicking boots to maximize the effectiveness of the ventilation system.
