FAQs

Are these socks suitable for everyday wear?

While comfortable, these socks are specifically engineered for performance activities like running. For everyday wear, their advanced features might be overkill, and a non-waterproof sock may offer better breathability in dry conditions.

How long does the waterproof feature last?

With proper care, the Aquasealz waterproof membrane is designed for long-term durability. Following the washing and drying instructions is crucial to maintaining its effectiveness.

Can I machine dry these socks?

No, machine drying is not recommended. High heat can damage the waterproof membrane. Always drip dry them away from direct heat sources.

What makes the bamboo lining beneficial?

The bamboo viscose lining is naturally breathable, moisture-wicking, and anti-microbial. This combination helps keep feet cool, dry, and fresh by managing sweat and inhibiting odor-causing bacteria.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by Sealskinz. A correct fit is essential for comfort and for the sock's features, like the mid-foot grip, to function optimally.

Are these socks available in other colors?

Yes, the Holverstone sock is available in a range of colors, including Orange, Black, and Green, in addition to Blue.

What is the main advantage over non-waterproof running socks?

The primary advantage is complete protection against external moisture, ensuring your feet stay dry regardless of rain, puddles, or wet ground, which significantly reduces the risk of blisters and discomfort in wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Feet still feel wet after a run

Check that the socks were washed and dried correctly, as improper drying can affect membrane performance. Ensure the socks are the correct size and not stretched, which could compromise the seal. Inspect for any damage to the waterproof membrane.

Socks feel too warm

While breathable, waterproof socks can feel warmer than non-waterproof alternatives in very hot and dry conditions. For such weather, consider switching to a lighter, non-waterproof sock. Ensure you are not wearing overly thick liner socks underneath.

Blisters are still forming

While hand-linked seams reduce friction, ensure the sock fit is correct and that there are no internal seams or debris causing irritation. Make sure the mid-foot grip is functioning as intended and not causing the sock to bunch.
