FAQs
What does a 1.6 TOG rating mean?
TOG (Thermal Overall Grade) is a measure of thermal insulation. A 1.6 TOG rating indicates a high level of warmth, making these socks significantly warmer than standard cotton socks, which typically have a much lower TOG rating.
Are these socks suitable for diabetics?
Yes, the non-binding top is designed to be gentle on the legs and is considered diabetic-friendly, providing comfort without undue pressure.
How long are the socks?
These are extra-long socks, designed to reach up to or just below the knee.
Can I wear these socks with tight-fitting shoes?
While they are a medium thickness, the extra-long length and thermal properties might make them feel snug in very tight-fitting shoes. They are best suited for casual shoes and boots that offer a comfortable fit.
How do I wash and dry these thermal socks?
You can machine wash them at 40°C. They can be tumble dried, but line drying is recommended to best preserve their thermal qualities and softness.
What material are the socks made from?
The fibre composition is 93% Acrylic, 6% Polyester, and 1% Elastane.
What sizes are available?
They are available in a range that covers UK sizes 6-11, EUR 39-45, and US sizes 7-12.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight around the leg
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The non-binding top is designed to be gentle, but if you experience discomfort, consider trying a different sock style or ensuring your footwear isn't too constrictive.
Feet still feel cold
Confirm the socks are the correct size and fully covering the feet and lower legs. Ensure your footwear is also adequately insulated and not restricting circulation. For extreme cold, consider layering thinner socks underneath or using thicker thermal options if suitable for your footwear.
Socks lose their softness after washing
Avoid high heat when tumble drying. Line drying is preferred. Using a fabric conditioner can help maintain softness, but check product recommendations.
