FAQs
Are these socks truly waterproof?
Yes, the Surlingham socks feature Aquasealz technology which provides complete waterproofness, protecting your feet from external moisture.
How do I wash my waterproof socks?
Wash your Surlingham socks at 40°C (105°F) and drip dry. Avoid using fabric softeners or tumble drying.
Can I wear these with regular shoes?
Yes, they are designed to be worn with most types of outdoor footwear, functioning much like a regular sock but with added waterproof benefits.
What is the benefit of the merino wool blend?
The merino wool blend provides excellent moisture-wicking properties, helping to draw sweat away from the skin to keep your feet dry and fresh. It also offers natural temperature regulation and a soft feel.
Will these socks keep my feet warm?
The merino wool blend offers some insulation and temperature regulation. While they keep feet dry, which contributes to warmth, they are primarily designed for waterproofness and breathability rather than extreme cold insulation.
What activities are these socks best suited for?
They are ideal for a wide range of outdoor activities including trekking, mountain biking, long country walks, and general outdoor pursuits where protection from wet conditions is needed.
What does 'anti-blister hand linked toe' mean?
This refers to a special construction of the toe seam, which is linked by hand to ensure there are no internal ridges or rubbing points, significantly reducing the risk of blisters.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel damp after use
Ensure socks are washed and dried according to care instructions. If repeatedly damp during use, check footwear for damage or leaks and ensure the socks are not inside-out during washing.
Reduced breathability or discomfort
Clean the socks thoroughly as per instructions. Residual dirt or detergent can impede breathability. Ensure the correct size is being worn to avoid excessive friction or tightness.
Stiffness or loss of softness
Avoid using fabric softeners or high heat drying, as these can degrade the materials. Air drying and proper washing should maintain softness.
