FAQs
Are these socks suitable for hiking as well as running?
Yes, their waterproof and breathable nature makes them suitable for various outdoor activities where dry and comfortable feet are essential, including hiking.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The sock should fit snugly, particularly around the mid-foot where the grip is located, without feeling constrictive. Ensure your heel fits into the heel cup of the sock and there is no excessive material bunching.
Can I use these in very cold weather?
These socks provide excellent waterproofing and moderate warmth due to the bamboo lining. For extreme cold, you may wish to consider layering with a thinner liner sock, ensuring it is compatible with the waterproof membrane.
How long do the waterproof properties last?
With proper care, the Aquasealz membrane is designed for durability. Following the washing and drying instructions will help maintain its effectiveness over time.
Will these socks make noise when I walk?
The socks are designed to be quiet during movement. The materials and construction aim to minimize any rustling or noise associated with waterproof fabrics.
Are these socks available in other colors and sizes?
Yes, the Holverstone line is available in a range of colors and sizes for men and women. Please check the product listings for specific availability.
Troubleshooting
Sock feels too tight around the mid-foot
This is likely due to the mid-foot grip. Wear the socks for a few runs to allow them to conform to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, ensure you have selected the correct size, as a size too small can exacerbate tightness.
Water seems to be penetrating the sock
Ensure the sock is not rolled down, as this can compromise the waterproof seal. Check for any damage to the membrane. If the sock is damaged, it should be replaced.
Feet feel overly warm
While breathable, the waterproof membrane can reduce airflow compared to non-waterproof socks. For very hot and dry conditions, consider a lighter, non-waterproof option if extreme ventilation is a priority.
