Starston - Orange - L

The Starston socks are engineered for cold, high-altitude pursuits. While comfortable, their advanced waterproof and thermal properties may make them too warm for casual, everyday wear in milder climates.

A proper fit means the sock should feel snug but not constricting. There should be no excessive bunching or sagging. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements. Try them on with the type of footwear you intend to wear them with.

You can machine wash them on a cold setting, inside out, with liquid detergent. However, do not tumble dry. They must be line dried away from direct heat.

The Aquasealz membrane is the core technology that makes the socks waterproof. It acts as a barrier against external water while allowing perspiration vapor to escape from the inside, keeping your feet dry and comfortable.

Merino wool provides excellent insulation, keeping feet warm even in cold temperatures. It is also naturally breathable, moisture-wicking, and antimicrobial, which helps to control odor during extended use.

The Starston socks are built with durable materials and construction methods, often trusted in military applications, suggesting they are designed for longevity under demanding conditions.

They are ideal for cold-weather activities such as winter hiking, mountaineering, cold-weather running, cycling, or any pursuit where feet are exposed to cold and wet conditions.

Ensure the socks are not too tight, which can restrict airflow. Wash the socks to remove any residues that might affect breathability. Verify that the socks are not being worn in excessively warm conditions where they are not designed for.

Inspect the socks for any damage to the membrane, such as punctures or tears. Ensure the cuffs are not rolled down, as this can allow water ingress. Follow the care instructions carefully, as improper washing or drying can damage the waterproof membrane.

These socks are designed for cold weather. If you are experiencing overheating, they may not be suitable for the current temperature or activity level. Consider removing them during strenuous activity in milder conditions or when resting.

While merino wool is generally soft, some individuals may have sensitivity. Ensure the socks are washed according to instructions, as this can soften the fibers. Try wearing a thin liner sock underneath if irritation persists.
