FAQs

Are these socks truly waterproof?

Yes, the Holverstone socks feature a three-layer Aquasealz membrane that provides complete waterproofness.

Can I use these for hiking or cycling?

While designed for running, their waterproof and breathable qualities can also be beneficial for other outdoor activities in wet conditions. However, the fit is optimized for running.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The socks should feel snug but not constricting, with no excessive material bunching around the foot or ankle. The mid-foot grip should feel secure without being uncomfortable.

Will my feet get hot and sweaty in these?

The socks are engineered for breathability, using bamboo viscose and moisture-wicking nylon to allow heat and perspiration to escape, minimizing overheating.

How often should I wash these socks?

Wash them after each use, especially if worn during intense activity or in dirty conditions. Follow the care instructions for optimal performance.

What is the benefit of the hand-linked seams?

Hand-linked seams are designed to be smooth and flat, reducing friction points that can lead to blisters during long runs.

Can I use fabric softener when washing?

It is best to avoid fabric softeners, as they can potentially degrade the waterproof membrane and affect the sock's performance over time. Standard detergents are recommended.

Troubleshooting

Feet still feel wet after a run.

Ensure the socks were not damaged during use. Check for any tears or holes. Also, confirm the socks were washed and dried according to the care instructions, as improper drying can affect performance.

Socks feel too tight or too loose.

Verify you have selected the correct size. Consult the sizing guide and try a different size if necessary. A proper fit is crucial for both comfort and the effectiveness of the mid-foot grip.

Experiencing discomfort or rubbing.

Ensure the hand-linked seams are positioned correctly against your foot. If the issue persists, double-check the sock size and ensure they are not bunching up inside your shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are running socks, so there is no specific setup required beyond wearing them. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and performance.

Care Instructions:
