FAQs
Are these socks truly waterproof?
Yes, the Surlingham socks utilize Aquasealz technology, making them 100% waterproof.
Can I wear these with regular shoes?
They are designed for outdoor footwear like hiking boots or cycling shoes, but can be worn with other shoes if they provide adequate space and comfort.
How do I wash my waterproof socks?
Wash at 40°C (105°F) with your regular laundry and drip dry. Avoid tumble drying or using fabric softeners.
Will my feet get hot and sweaty in these?
The socks are designed to be breathable, allowing excess heat and perspiration to escape, helping to keep your feet comfortable during activity.
What is the merino wool blend for?
The merino wool blend provides natural moisture-wicking properties, temperature regulation, and a soft feel against the skin.
Can I use these for running?
While designed for activities like trekking and cycling, their waterproof and breathable features can be beneficial for trail running in wet conditions.
What if I get a blister while wearing them?
The socks feature an anti-blister hand-linked toe designed to reduce friction. However, proper footwear fit is also crucial in blister prevention.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp despite wearing the socks
Ensure the socks are completely dry before wearing. Check for any damage to the waterproof membrane. Make sure the socks are properly fitted and not bunching, which could create pressure points or allow water ingress.
Socks feel stiff or lose their softness
This can occur if the socks have been exposed to high heat during drying. Ensure you are drip-drying and have not used a tumble dryer. Washing with a mild detergent and rinsing thoroughly can help restore softness.
Water is leaking through the sock
Inspect the sock for any punctures, tears, or damage to the seams or waterproof membrane. If damage is found, the sock's waterproof integrity may be compromised and it may need replacement.
Socks are difficult to put on
Ensure the socks are completely dry and inside out before attempting to put them on. Gently ease them over your foot and up your leg, making sure they lie flat without wrinkles.
