FAQs
Are these socks suitable for daily wear?
Yes, their moisture-wicking and comfortable construction make them excellent for everyday use in addition to hiking.
Can I put these socks in the dryer?
Yes, but it is highly recommended to use the lowest heat setting to prevent shrinking and fiber damage.
What material are these socks made of?
They are constructed primarily from high-quality Merino wool, blended with performance fibers for enhanced durability and stretch.
Do these socks prevent blisters?
The combination of the Virtually Seamless toe and the secure fit system significantly reduces the friction points where blisters typically form.
How should I choose the right size?
Use the provided sizing chart relative to your standard shoe size. These socks are designed for a snug, performance fit.
Troubleshooting
Sock feels too tight around the calf
The 4 Degree fit system is designed for a secure hold; ensure the sock is pulled evenly across the heel and arch to distribute tension correctly.
Excessive pilling after initial wear
Light pilling is normal for high-quality natural fibers; turn them inside out during wash cycles to minimize friction against other garments.
