FAQs
Are these socks suitable for marathons?
They are ideal if you prefer a lightweight, 'barefoot' feel in your racing shoes, though some runners prefer more padding for distances exceeding a half-marathon.
Does the silicone gripper cause skin irritation?
The grippers are designed for minimal contact, but if you have sensitive skin, ensure they are placed flat against the skin to avoid friction.
How do I determine my size?
The socks follow standard apparel sizing (S, M, L, XL). Reference your typical shoe size and the HOKA sizing chart for the best fit.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
Air drying is recommended to maintain the elasticity and the effectiveness of the silicone grippers.
Are these socks gender-specific?
No, these are unisex socks designed to provide a performance fit for all foot shapes.
Troubleshooting
Sock slipping down during a run
Ensure the skin is clean of oils or lotions before putting on the sock so the silicone grip can adhere correctly.
Feeling 'hot spots' on feet
Check that the sock is pulled taut without wrinkles; the minimalist construction is meant to fit like a second skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Race Day Crew Sock, always wash in cold water using a gentle cycle. Avoid using high-heat settings in a dryer, as excessive heat can degrade the integrity of the silicone anti-slip grippers. These socks are unisex and designed to fit snugly; ensure you choose the correct size based on your shoe fit to maximize the benefits of the compression and ventilation zones. They are fully compatible with all HOKA racing footwear and high-performance shoes from other brands.
