FAQs

What makes these socks 'thermal'?

These socks utilize a heavy bulk yarn blended for its extreme thermal qualities and feature an intensively brushed inner lining designed to trap warm air close to the skin, significantly increasing insulation.

How warm are these socks compared to standard socks?

With a massive tog rating of 2.34, they offer significantly higher thermal insulation than regular socks. They are designed for maximum cold-weather protection.

Can I wear these with all types of shoes?

They are best suited for looser-fitting footwear like boots and wellingtons due to their thickness. They may not fit comfortably in snug or tightly fitting shoes.

How do I wash and dry them?

Machine wash at 40°C. Line drying is recommended for best results, although they can be tumble dried on a low setting.

What sizes are available?

They are available in UK sizes 6-11, EUR 39-45, and US sizes 7-12.

What is the main advantage of the long leg design?

The extra-long, knee-high length provides greater coverage and warmth for the entire lower leg, protecting it from cold when wearing boots or wellingtons.

Are these socks suitable for sensitive skin?

The intensively brushed inner lining provides an incredibly soft feel against the skin, which may be beneficial for comfort. However, they are made from a blend of synthetic fibers.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the provided UK, EUR, and US conversions. If between sizes, consider the looser fit or the next size up if your footwear allows.

Reduced warmth after washing

Avoid high-temperature washing or aggressive tumble drying. Line dry whenever possible to preserve the brushed inner fibers and thermal qualities. Check for any damage to the fabric.

Socks bunching inside boots

Make sure the elasticated arch and ankle supports are correctly positioned. Ensure the socks are pulled up fully and smoothly before putting on footwear. A proper footwear fit is also crucial.
