FAQs

Are these socks suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, the merino wool blend provides insulation and temperature regulation, making them suitable for cold conditions when paired with appropriate footwear.

How do I know if I've ordered the correct size?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by Sealskinz. Generally, if you are between sizes, it's recommended to size down for a snug fit which aids in the wicking process.

Can I wear these socks without waterproof shoes?

While the socks provide waterproofness, wearing them with non-waterproof shoes will eventually lead to the shoes becoming saturated, reducing the effectiveness of the socks.

What is the main advantage of Aquasealz technology?

Aquasealz technology ensures the sock is completely waterproof from the outside while allowing moisture vapor (sweat) to escape from the inside, keeping your feet dry from both external and internal sources of moisture.

How durable are these socks for rough terrain?

They are designed for outdoor activities and feature durable construction. However, prolonged exposure to extreme abrasion might affect the waterproof membrane over time.

Can I use these for running?

While designed for outdoor activities, their primary focus is waterproofness and breathability. For high-intensity running, consider specialized running socks, but they can be suitable for trail running or long-distance walking in wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Feet still feel wet after use.

Ensure socks were washed correctly according to care instructions, as improper washing can compromise the waterproof membrane. Check for any damage to the sock's membrane.

Reduced breathability or overheating.

Make sure the socks are clean and free from debris that could block the pores of the waterproof membrane. Ensure you are wearing appropriate footwear that also allows for some ventilation.

Socks feel stiff or less flexible.

This can sometimes happen after washing. Wear them for a short period, and the natural movement and warmth of your feet should restore flexibility. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners.
