Product Information

Full details

These Sealskinz Holverstone socks are designed for adult runners seeking fully waterproof protection without sacrificing comfort. The key benefit is maintaining dry feet in wet conditions, allowing for uninterrupted performance. A potential consideration is that, like all waterproof gear, breathability can be a factor in extreme heat. Key features include a three-layer Aquasealz membrane for waterproofing, a bamboo viscose lining for breathability and softness, hand-linked seams to prevent blisters, and a mid-foot grip for a secure fit.

FAQs

Are these socks truly waterproof?

Yes, the Holverstone socks feature a three-layer Aquasealz membrane that provides 100% waterproof protection.

Can I wear these in hot weather?

The socks are designed to be breathable thanks to the bamboo lining, which helps manage heat and perspiration. However, like any waterproof item, they may feel warmer than a non-waterproof sock in very high temperatures.

How do I wash these socks?

You can machine wash them at 40ºC (105ºF) with similar colors. They should be drip dried and not tumble dried or ironed.

Will these socks prevent blisters?

The socks are designed to help prevent blisters through features like hand-linked seams and a secure mid-foot grip, which reduce friction and slippage.

What is the benefit of the bamboo lining?

The bamboo viscose lining is soft, breathable, moisture-wicking, and has anti-microbial properties that help inhibit odor-causing bacteria, keeping your feet fresh and comfortable.

Are these socks suitable for activities other than running?

Yes, their waterproof and comfortable design makes them suitable for various outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, or any activity where foot protection from the elements is needed.

What sizes are available?

These socks are available in various sizes, including Small (S), Medium (M), Large (L), and Extra Large (XL).

Troubleshooting

Socks feel damp inside after use

Ensure the socks were washed and drip-dried correctly. Check for any damage to the waterproof membrane. For very high exertion in warm conditions, some internal moisture from sweat is normal and managed by the breathable lining.

Reduced waterproof performance

Check for damage to the membrane. Ensure no harsh detergents or fabric softeners were used, as these can compromise waterproofness. Wash according to care instructions.

Socks slipping down

Confirm you have the correct size. Ensure the mid-foot grip area is clean and dry. Re-adjust the socks, ensuring the mid-foot grip is positioned correctly.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size is being worn. The hand-linked seams are designed to minimize rubbing; ensure socks are positioned correctly within footwear.
