FAQs
What does a 1.6 TOG rating mean?
A TOG rating measures thermal insulation. A higher TOG rating indicates greater heat retention. A 1.6 TOG rating signifies that these socks offer significant insulation and are designed for cold weather conditions.
Are these socks suitable for everyday wear?
They are suitable for everyday wear in cold climates or for individuals who experience cold feet. However, due to their thermal properties, they might be too warm for indoor use in moderate temperatures.
How do I clean my Heat Holders socks?
You can machine wash them warm (40°C/104°F) and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleaching, ironing, and dry cleaning. Do not use fabric softener, as it can reduce the socks' effectiveness.
What is the difference between Heat Holders Lite and regular Heat Holders?
Heat Holders Lite socks are a lighter version, offering good thermal properties but with less bulk and a slightly lower TOG rating than the standard or ultra versions, making them suitable for a wider range of temperatures and footwear.
What size are these socks?
This specific product is designed for adult men and fits UK shoe sizes 6-11.
Can I wear these socks for sports?
While they provide excellent warmth, their thickness and thermal design are primarily for insulation and comfort in cold, rather than high-performance athletic activities where moisture-wicking and breathability under intense exertion are paramount. They are best suited for casual outdoor activities in cold weather.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too bulky in shoes
Consider wearing them with looser-fitting footwear or for activities where bulk is less of a concern. For less extreme cold, explore the Heat Holders Lite or Ultra Lite variants.
Reduced warmth over time
Ensure socks are washed according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners and high heat drying, which can damage the thermal fibers. Check for any excessive wear or damage to the looped pile.
Socks feel slightly damp
While designed for moisture breathing, extreme activity levels can exceed capabilities. Ensure socks are fully dry before wearing and consider wearing them in less strenuous conditions or shorter durations if dampness persists.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult men, these socks are designed to fit UK shoe sizes 6-11. They are compatible with most types of footwear, though their thickness might necessitate a slightly looser fit in shoes that are already snug.
Care Instructions: To maintain the socks' thermal properties and ensure longevity:
- Washing: Machine wash warm (40°C or 104°F).
