FAQs

Are these socks suitable for all seasons?

These socks are best suited for cooler weather and demanding activities due to their heavyweight construction. They may be too warm for use in hot, humid conditions.

How should I wash these socks?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water, using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble drying is not recommended; air dry instead.

What is the material composition of the socks?

The socks are made of 45% Merino wool, 22% Coolmax, 30% nylon, and 3% Lycra.

Do these socks come as a pair?

No, these socks are sold individually.

Can I use these socks for running?

While these socks can be used for various activities, their heavyweight construction makes them more suited for hiking and trekking than running. For running, you may prefer lighter-weight socks.

What is Coolmax fabric?

Coolmax is a polyester fabric designed to wick moisture away from the skin, keeping your feet dry and helping to regulate temperature.

How do I prevent blisters when wearing these socks?

Ensure the socks fit properly and that there's no excessive friction in your boots. Consider using a thin liner sock underneath for added protection, and always trim your toenails before hikes.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight or constrictive.

Ensure you have the correct size. The heavyweight design may feel snug. Consider wearing thinner liner socks underneath for added comfort and blister prevention.

Socks develop holes or wear out quickly.

Check the fit inside your boots to ensure there's no excessive friction. Inspect your boots for any rough areas that could be causing damage. Consider the intensity of use and terrain; these socks are durable but not indestructible.

Socks retain odors after washing.

Make sure you're using a detergent specifically for wool or delicate fabrics, and that the socks are completely dry before storing. Consider washing the socks inside out to expose the inner layers to the washing process more effectively.
