Full details
The Smartwool Everyday Joviansphere Crew Socks are designed for adults seeking a reliable, high-performance base layer for daily wear.

FAQs
Are these socks suitable for hiking?
While they are comfortable, they are designed as 'Everyday' socks. For long-distance or heavy-duty hiking, a dedicated hiking-specific sock with more cushion is recommended.
Can I put these in the dryer?
Yes, but it is best to use a low-heat setting. Excessive heat can cause shrinkage and damage the wool fibers over time.
Are these socks unisex?
Yes, the Joviansphere Crew Socks are designed to be a unisex product, suitable for both men and women.
What does the arch brace do?
The arch brace provides an extra layer of elastic support that keeps the sock snug against your midfoot, preventing it from sliding around inside your shoe.
Will these socks keep my feet cool in the summer?
Yes, merino wool is naturally temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking, which helps keep your feet dry and cool even in warmer weather.
Troubleshooting
Socks slipping down during the day
Ensure they are washed according to instructions to avoid material degradation, and check that the size is correct for your foot width.
Wool feeling scratchy or itchy
This is rare with merino wool, but ensure you are not using harsh chemical softeners which can leave residue on the fibers.
Signs of thinning in the heel area
Ensure your footwear is correctly sized; improperly fitting shoes can cause premature abrasive wear on the sock heel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Smartwool socks retain their performance benefits, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Turn socks inside out before placing them in the machine. Use a gentle cycle with cold or warm water.
- Detergent: Use a mild wool-safe detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip away the natural benefits of merino wool.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang them to air dry. Air drying is highly recommended to prolong the lifespan of the fibers.
- Compatibility: These crew socks offer a mid-calf fit, making them compatible with casual shoes, boots, and athletic footwear.
