FAQs
Are these socks suitable for summer?
While highly breathable, they are designed for insulation, so they are best suited for cool or cold weather.
Can I use these for hiking?
Yes, their plush cushioning and wool construction make them excellent for hiking and other outdoor sports.
How should I wash them?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the wool fibers.
Do they provide compression?
They feature built-in arch support, but they are not medical-grade compression socks.
Are they itchy like traditional wool?
No, DeFeet uses premium Merino wool which is specifically chosen for its softness against the skin.
Troubleshooting
Sock feels too tight in cycling shoes
The Woolie Boolie is a thicker sock; ensure your cycling shoes are adjusted to accommodate the extra volume, or use them with looser-fitting footwear.
Material pilling after several washes
Wash inside out in a laundry bag to reduce friction against other garments, and avoid tumble drying on high heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal fit, ensure the sock is pulled evenly over the heel to utilize the arch support effectively. Since these are made of Merino wool, avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the natural fibers of their properties. Machine wash in cold water on a delicate cycle and air dry whenever possible to prevent shrinkage and maintain the integrity of the cushioning. These socks are compatible with all standard cycling cleats and casual hiking footwear.
