Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure you select the correct size for your foot to take full advantage of the compression band. Regarding care, it is highly recommended to wash these socks in a garment bag on a delicate cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers and diminish the effectiveness of the moisture-wicking properties. Always air dry the socks away from direct heat sources to prevent the breakdown of the technical yarns.
