FAQs
What makes these socks 'technical'?
The 'technical' aspect refers to the use of advanced materials like CoolMax®, engineered for specific performance benefits such as moisture-wicking, quick drying, and temperature regulation, rather than standard cotton or wool.
What is CoolMax® fabric?
CoolMax® is a brand of polyester fabric specifically designed to move moisture away from the body to the surface of the fabric, where it evaporates. It helps keep the wearer cool, dry, and comfortable.
How do I know if the Medium size is right for me?
The Medium size is recommended for UK shoe sizes 5 through 8. For a proper fit, your foot should comfortably fill the sock without being too tight or too loose.
Can I wear these socks year-round?
These socks are designed for performance across a range of temperatures due to their regulating properties. However, in extreme heat, some users might prefer lighter options, and in very cold conditions, thicker insulating socks may be necessary.
Will these socks help prevent blisters?
Yes, by effectively managing moisture and reducing friction through a comfortable fit, these socks significantly contribute to blister prevention during strenuous activities.
Are these socks suitable for running?
While primarily designed for boots, their moisture-wicking properties make them suitable for activities involving boots. For dedicated running, specialized running socks might offer enhanced cushioning and fit.
How durable are these socks?
They are constructed with durable materials and designed for technical outdoor use, meaning they are built to withstand regular wear and tear associated with activities like hiking and fishing.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel damp after activity
Ensure socks are properly fitted. If you are sweating heavily, the moisture-wicking may be overwhelmed. Ensure you are not using fabric softener during washing, as this inhibits wicking. Allow socks to air dry completely after washing.
Socks feel too warm
While designed for temperature regulation, individual perception of warmth varies. For extremely hot conditions, consider lighter weight socks. Ensure good boot ventilation.
Socks are not drying quickly
Ensure you are using CoolMax® fabric as indicated. Check washing instructions; avoid fabric softeners. Try air drying in a well-ventilated area or using a low-heat tumble dry setting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance of the CoolMax® fabric:
