FAQs
Are these socks truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a 100% waterproof Aquasealz membrane designed to keep your feet completely dry in wet conditions.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
The bamboo lining provides breathability, making them suitable for a range of temperatures. However, for extremely hot and dry conditions, lighter, non-waterproof socks might be preferred.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the sizing guide for Sealskinz products. A proper fit is crucial for comfort and to ensure the waterproof seal is effective. The sock should fit snugly without being too tight.
Can I put these socks in the dryer?
No, do not tumble dry. They should be drip dried to maintain the integrity of the waterproof membrane.
Will the mid-foot grip be uncomfortable?
The mid-foot grip is designed to secure the sock. While some users may notice it initially, most find it comfortable and beneficial for preventing slippage during activity. It's recommended to wear them for a trial run.
What makes the bamboo lining beneficial?
The bamboo lining is highly breathable and moisture-wicking, which helps to keep your feet cool, dry, and comfortable by managing sweat effectively.
Are these socks suitable for hiking?
While designed for running, their waterproof and breathable properties make them suitable for hiking in wet conditions as well.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel wet inside.
Ensure the socks are correctly worn and that there are no gaps allowing water ingress. Double-check care instructions to ensure the waterproof membrane hasn't been compromised by improper washing or drying (e.g., high heat).
Discomfort from mid-foot grip.
If the mid-foot grip feels uncomfortable, try wearing the socks for shorter periods initially to allow your feet to adapt. Ensure you have the correct size; a sock that is too tight or too loose can exacerbate fit issues.
Reduced breathability.
Ensure the bamboo lining is clean. Excessive dirt or residue can impede breathability. Follow the recommended washing instructions.
