Product Information
Full details
Heat Holders Thermal Lite Patterned Socks are designed for adults seeking reliable warmth without the unwanted thickness of traditional thermal hosiery. These socks provide a high-performance insulation barrier, making them an ideal choice for everyday wear in boots, trainers, or dress shoes. While they offer superior thermal retention compared to standard cotton socks, users should note they are specifically engineered for a 'lite' profile, which may feel different from the brand's ultra-thick heavy-duty thermal options.

FAQs
What is a 1.6 TOG rating?
TOG stands for Thermal Overall Grade. A rating of 1.6 means the socks are significantly better at holding heat than a standard sock, which typically has a much lower rating.
Can I wear these in trainers?
Yes, the Lite series is specifically designed with a thinner profile to fit comfortably inside trainers and other standard casual footwear.
Are these socks machine washable?
Yes, you can machine wash them at 40 degrees Celsius, but you must avoid tumble drying to protect the integrity of the brushed fibers.
Are these suitable for people with sensitive feet?
The extra-long looped cushion pile provides a soft, padded lining that is generally comfortable and non-irritating for daily use.
Do I need to size up in my shoes?
No, the 'Lite' design is created to ensure they fit in your current shoes without the need to change your size.
Is the material itchy?
The socks are designed for comfort using advanced thermal yarns that are soft against the skin, avoiding the itchiness often associated with traditional wool.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel slightly damp after long-term wear
Ensure your footwear has adequate ventilation; while the socks are moisture-breathing, they work best when combined with breathable shoe materials.
Thermal performance seems to decrease over time
Check your wash cycle; ensure you are not using fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers and inhibit the moisture-breathing and thermal-trapping capabilities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Heat Holders last, it is essential to follow proper laundering techniques. Because the socks rely on the integrity of the internal brushed fibers, avoid using high-heat settings. Wash them on a gentle cycle at low temperatures (40 degrees Celsius or lower). Do not tumble dry, as extreme heat can damage the thermal yarns and flatten the looped pile, reducing their insulating performance. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the loft of the inner lining. These socks are compatible with most adult footwear and are designed to provide a snug, secure fit for a variety of foot shapes.
