SOCKSHOP Heat Holders Ultra Lite Argyle Socks - Black

A TOG rating measures thermal insulation. A 1.0 TOG rating indicates that these socks provide significant warmth, approximately three times that of a standard cotton sock, while remaining relatively lightweight.

These socks are primarily designed for warmth and comfort in formal or tight-fitting shoes. They are not engineered with the specific support or cushioning typically required for most athletic activities.

Yes, you can wear them with casual shoes, especially if they tend to be on the snugger side. However, their ultra-lite design is optimized for formal footwear where space is limited.

Machine wash them at 40°C. While they can be tumble dried, line drying is recommended to best maintain their thermal properties and shape.

The socks are made from 89% Acrylic, 10% Nylon, and 1% Elastane.

They are designed to be ultra-lite and fit comfortably in tighter-fitting shoes. If your shoes are already at maximum capacity, they might feel snugger, but generally, they are made to avoid adding excessive bulk.

They are available in UK 6-11, EUR 39-45, and US 7-12.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit remains tight, consider wearing them in wider shoes or for shorter periods initially to allow them to stretch slightly.

Verify that the socks are properly positioned on the feet and that your shoes are not excessively tight, which can restrict circulation. For extremely cold conditions, consider layering with a thinner liner sock if space allows, though this may reduce the ultra-lite benefit.

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce thermal efficiency. Line drying is preferred over tumble drying to preserve the integrity of the thermal fibers.
