FAQs
How does Polygiene® technology work?
Polygiene® uses silver salt, a naturally occurring antimicrobial agent, to permanently inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria and fungi at the cellular level within the fabric.
Will the Polygiene® treatment wash out?
No, the Polygiene® technology is permanently bound into the sock's fibers and will not wash out, providing long-lasting odor control throughout the lifespan of the sock.
Are these socks suitable for everyday wear, not just running?
While designed for running performance, the comfort and odor-control features make them suitable for other athletic activities or for anyone seeking enhanced foot freshness.
What type of cushioning do these socks offer?
They feature mid to low-level anatomical cushioning in key pressure zones, offering a balance of comfort and support without adding excessive bulk or weight.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Select your standard shoe size. The LYCRA® SPORT fibre is designed to provide a supportive, close fit that adapts to your foot shape.
Can I use fabric softener with these socks?
It is not recommended to use fabric softeners, as they can degrade the specialized fibers and potentially interfere with the Polygiene® technology and moisture-wicking properties.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel loose or bunch up
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The LYCRA® SPORT fibre should provide a snug fit; if it's still loose, the size may be incorrect or the socks may have lost elasticity due to improper washing.
Odor is not being managed effectively
Verify that the socks are being washed according to the care instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners. Ensure the socks are fully dry before storing. The Polygiene® technology is permanent but may be less effective if the sock is not properly cared for.
Skin irritation or chafing occurs
Check for any loose threads or imperfections in the seams. Ensure the socks are the correct size and fit snugly without being too tight. The flat under toe seam is designed to prevent irritation, but individual sensitivities can vary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These socks are designed for immediate use upon purchase; no special setup is required. They are compatible with all types of running shoes and athletic footwear. To maintain the integrity and effectiveness of the Polygiene® technology and the sock's performance features, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the specialized fibers and technologies.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. High heat can damage the LYCRA® fibres and affect the Polygiene® treatment.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Frequency: While the Polygiene® technology reduces the need for frequent washing, washing after each use is recommended for overall hygiene.
