FAQs

Are these socks suitable for everyday wear?

While comfortable, these socks are specifically engineered for running performance in wet conditions. Their waterproof membrane and construction are optimized for athletic activity.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart for Sealskinz products. The socks should fit snugly without being constrictive, with the mid-foot grip providing a secure hold.

Can I use these in very cold weather?

These socks are designed for waterproofness and breathability. While they offer some insulation, they are not specifically designed as thermal socks for extreme cold. Layering may be necessary in very cold conditions.

How long do the waterproof properties last?

With proper care, the waterproof membrane is designed for durability. Regular washing according to instructions helps maintain its performance.

What does 'hand-linked seams' mean?

This refers to a manufacturing process where seams are sewn by hand to be as flat and smooth as possible, significantly reducing the chance of irritation and blisters caused by rubbing.

Why is bamboo used in these socks?

Bamboo viscose provides excellent breathability, a soft feel, and natural antimicrobial properties that help reduce odor.

Can I put these socks in a tumble dryer?

No, tumble drying can damage the waterproof membrane and the sock's integrity. They should be drip dried away from direct heat.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel wet inside

Ensure socks are properly seated and that the waterproof membrane is intact. Check for any damage to the material. Always ensure you are following the correct washing and drying instructions.

Reduced breathability

Over time, pores in the membrane can become blocked. Wash the socks according to care instructions. Avoid fabric softeners, which can impede breathability.

Socks slipping down

Ensure the mid-foot grip area is clean and dry. If the socks are worn out, the elastic may have lost its effectiveness.

Discomfort or rubbing

Verify that the correct size is being worn. Ensure hand-linked seams are correctly aligned and that there are no external debris causing friction.
