FAQs

Are these socks suitable for very hot weather?

Yes, Merino wool is naturally thermoregulating and breathable. While it excels in moderate to cool conditions, its moisture-wicking properties also help manage heat and sweat in warmer weather, keeping feet drier than many synthetic alternatives.

How many times can I wear these socks before washing?

Thanks to the natural antimicrobial properties of Merino wool, these socks can often be worn multiple times before washing, especially for shorter runs. Odor resistance allows for extended use, but always assess based on personal comfort and activity level.

What is the main benefit of Merino wool in these socks?

The primary benefits of Merino wool are its natural temperature regulation, excellent moisture-wicking capabilities, softness, and inherent antimicrobial properties which prevent odor.

Are the left and right socks identical?

No, these socks feature an ergonomic design with specific left and right socks, engineered to contour to the natural shape of each foot for an optimal and secure fit.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, which is typically based on foot length or shoe size. Measuring your foot heel-to-toe will provide the most accurate measurement for selecting the correct size.

Can I use these socks for activities other than running?

While designed for running, their comfort, cushioning, and thermoregulating properties make them suitable for other activities like hiking, cycling, or everyday wear, especially in cooler conditions.

What does 'ethically sourced, non-mulesed' mean?

This indicates that the Merino wool used in the socks comes from sheep that have been raised and shorn in a manner that avoids the mulesing procedure, promoting animal welfare standards.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart and measure your feet. If the issue persists, consider if the mid-length is suitable for your preference.

Feet still feel damp after a run

Verify that the socks are worn correctly (left on left, right on right). Ensure your running shoes are not excessively wet or preventing adequate airflow. Make sure socks are fully dry before wearing.

Visible pilling on the fabric

Some pilling is normal with Merino wool and does not affect performance. To minimize, follow the recommended washing and drying instructions carefully, avoiding harsh detergents and high heat.

Experiencing irritation or blisters

Double-check the sock's fit and ensure it is not bunching up inside the shoe. Confirm you are wearing the correct left and right sock. Ensure your running shoes fit properly and are not causing excessive friction points.
