FAQs
What does a 2.7 TOG rating mean?
TOG stands for Thermal Overall Grade. A 2.7 rating indicates the socks provide exceptionally high thermal resistance, keeping feet significantly warmer than standard thermal socks.
Can these be tumble dried?
It is recommended to air dry them to maintain the integrity of the long-looped pile and prevent shrinking of the wool fibers.
Are these socks suitable for diabetic feet?
While warm, the thick construction may be too restrictive for some. Consult a medical professional if you have circulation concerns regarding compression.
Do I need to wear liners with these?
Generally, no. The socks are designed to be worn as a standalone layer to maximize the efficiency of the trapped air pockets.
Will the wool itch my skin?
Heat Holders are brushed on the inside to create a soft, plush barrier, making them much less itchy than traditional wool socks.
Can I wear them to bed?
While you can, they are specifically engineered for outdoor activities and may cause your feet to overheat if worn for sleeping.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight inside boots
The socks feature a high-loft pile; try wearing them with boots that are a half-size larger or have a wider fit profile.
Inner pile feels matted after washing
Ensure you are using a gentle wash cycle and avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can cause the thermal loops to compress.
Feet feel damp despite thermal features
Ensure your footwear is breathable; if your boots are non-breathable rubber, sweat may accumulate. Consider cotton liners if excessive moisture persists.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Industry-leading 2.7 TOG thermal rating

- Durable wool-blend construction

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Heat Holders last through the winter season, follow these care instructions:
Compatibility: Best worn with loose-fitting boots, trainers, or wellies. Avoid pairing with tight fashion sneakers as the added bulk can restrict blood flow.
Washing Instructions:
- Turn socks inside out before washing to protect the brushed pile.
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle at low temperatures.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce the thermal performance.
- Air dry naturally away from direct high-heat sources like radiators to prevent the wool from shrinking or becoming brittle.
