Full details
The DeFeet Woolie Boolie 6 Inch Socks are designed for adult cyclists, runners, and outdoor enthusiasts who require maximum thermal protection in cold, challenging conditions. Crafted from premium Merino wool, these socks provide exceptional warmth even when damp, balanced by a strategic mesh construction that prevents overheating. While they offer superior comfort and cushioning, users should note that they are heavy-weight performance socks that may feel too thick for highly compressed racing footwear.

FAQs
Can these socks be worn for casual daily use?

Will these keep my feet warm if they get wet?
Yes, Merino wool is well-known for its ability to retain heat even when damp.
Are these socks unisex?
Yes, the Woolie Boolie range is designed for both men and women.
How high is the cuff?
These specific models feature a 6-inch cuff, providing excellent coverage above the ankle.
Can I use these for summer activities?
They are designed specifically for cold conditions and may be too thick and warm for hot summer weather.
What is the best way to prevent odors?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant; simply air the socks out after use and wash them according to the provided care instructions.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight inside my shoes
The Woolie Boolie is a thick sock; ensure your shoes have enough internal volume or consider using a thinner sock for high-intensity, slim-fit shoe setups.
Socks have lost some softness over time
Avoid using fabric softeners during wash cycles, as they coat the wool fibers and reduce their natural breathability and soft feel.
Socks seem to be shrinking after washing
Ensure you are using a cool water wash and low-heat tumble dry; high heat can cause natural Merino wool to felt and shrink.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Merino wool socks, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash in cool water on a gentle cycle.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting to prevent shrinking.
- Prohibited Items: Do not use bleach, fabric softeners, or harsh biological detergents, as these degrade the wool fibers.
- Compatibility: Due to the plush padding, ensure your footwear has sufficient volume; if your shoes are already tight-fitting, these socks may cause unwanted pressure points.
