FAQs
Are these socks suitable for casual wear?
Yes, while designed for outdoor activities, their comfort and waterproof features make them suitable for casual wear, especially in wet or cold weather.
How do I know what size to order?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Sealskinz, typically based on shoe size. The Surlingham sock is available in various sizes, including S, M, L, and XL.
Can I machine dry these socks?
No, it is essential to drip dry the socks. Machine drying, especially on high heat, can damage the waterproof membrane and compromise the sock's performance.
How long do the waterproof properties last?
With proper care and maintenance according to the washing instructions, the waterproof and breathable properties are designed to last for the expected lifespan of the sock.
Do these socks have cushioning?
The Surlingham sock features a merino wool inner liner for comfort and temperature regulation, providing a comfortable feel without excessive bulk.
Can I wear liner socks with these?
While designed to be worn directly against the skin, some users may prefer to wear a thin liner sock. However, for optimal moisture management and waterproofness, wearing them solo is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel damp inside
Ensure the socks are washed and dried correctly according to care instructions. Check for any damage to the waterproof membrane. Make sure the outer layer is clean, as excessive dirt can impede breathability.
Reduced breathability or overheating
Clean the socks thoroughly. External dirt or internal residue can block the pores of the waterproof membrane. Ensure the socks are not worn with waterproof boots that do not have their own breathable qualities, as this can trap moisture.
Discomfort or rubbing
Verify you have the correct size. Ensure the socks are pulled up smoothly without wrinkles. The hand-linked toe is designed to minimize irritation, but proper fit is crucial.
