FAQs

Are these socks suitable for everyday wear?

While designed for outdoor activities, their comfort and moisture-wicking properties can make them suitable for everyday wear, especially in unpredictable weather. However, for very hot and dry conditions, non-waterproof socks might be more comfortable.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the size guide provided, typically based on UK shoe sizes. Ensure the sock fits snugly without being constrictive. An incorrect fit can lead to discomfort and reduced performance.

Can I wear these with regular shoes?

Yes, they are designed to be worn with various types of footwear, including hiking boots, trainers, and casual shoes, providing waterproof protection regardless of your shoe choice.

How long do the waterproof properties last?

With proper care and maintenance, the waterproof technology is designed for durability. Following the washing instructions is key to preserving the sock's performance over time.

Are the socks warm?

The merino wool blend provides natural insulation and warmth, making them suitable for cooler conditions. They offer more warmth than standard synthetic socks but are still breathable enough for varied temperatures.

What is Aquasealz™ technology?

Aquasealz™ is the proprietary technology used by Sealskinz that creates a completely waterproof yet breathable membrane within the sock construction, keeping feet dry from the outside while allowing internal moisture to escape.

Can I use fabric softener with these socks?

No, it is recommended not to use fabric softener as it can damage the waterproof membrane and affect the sock's performance and breathability.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel wet inside after use.

Ensure the socks were washed according to care instructions and are fully dry before storage. Check for any damage to the waterproof membrane. If the issue persists, it might be due to excessive perspiration not being fully wicked away, or the socks may be compromised.

Reduced breathability or discomfort.

Ensure the socks are clean and free from debris that could block pores. Verify you have the correct size; an ill-fitting sock can cause friction and affect comfort. Wash with a small amount of non-biological liquid detergent and rinse thoroughly.

Water ingress despite being waterproof.

Inspect the socks carefully for any tears, holes, or damage to the waterproof membrane, especially around seams and the cuff. If damage is found, the waterproof integrity may be compromised.
