FAQs
Can I wear these for activities other than hiking?
Yes, these socks are excellent for any outdoor activity where cushioning and moisture control are required, such as walking, light trekking, or daily use in cold weather.
Are these socks blister-proof?
While the ergonomic fit and low-friction construction significantly reduce the likelihood of blisters, individual results vary based on boot fit and skin sensitivity.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the standard sizing guide based on your shoe size. The M size typically fits standard medium adult ranges.
Does the wool make the socks itchy?
No, these are made from high-quality merino wool, which is naturally soft and specifically processed to avoid the itch associated with traditional sheep's wool.
Are they machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable on a gentle cycle, but you should avoid tumble drying to prevent shrinking.
What does RWS-certified mean?
The Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) ensures that the wool is sourced from farms that maintain high standards of animal welfare and land management.
Troubleshooting
Sock feels too tight around the calf
Ensure the Comfort Plus cuff is positioned correctly and not bunched up. If sensitivity persists, verify you have chosen the correct size for your leg circumference.
Pilling or fuzz on the footbed
Pilling is a natural characteristic of high-quality merino wool as loose fibers settle. Trim surface pills carefully with a fabric shaver or gentle friction, and ensure you are washing the socks inside out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your merino wool socks, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Turn socks inside out before placing them in the machine. Use a gentle cycle with cold water.
- Detergent: Use a mild, wool-friendly detergent. Avoid bleach or heavy fabric softeners, as these can strip the natural moisture-wicking properties of the merino wool.
- Drying: Air drying is highly recommended. Lay them flat or hang them away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources, as high dryer temperatures can cause wool fibers to shrink and lose their shape.
- Compatibility: These socks work best with standard hiking boots and trail shoes. The crew height ensures there is enough material to cover the ankle collar of most mid-cut boots, preventing direct contact between the skin and the boot's hardware.
