FAQs

How do I ensure the Hydrostop™ technology works effectively?

The Hydrostop™ feature relies on a snug fit around the leg. Ensure you have selected the correct size for your foot and that the elasticated cuff sits comfortably but securely against your skin without being too tight. Pull the socks up to their full height.

Can I wear these socks in very hot weather?

The Dunton socks are designed for all-weather use and feature a breathable membrane. However, in extremely hot and humid conditions, any waterproof sock may feel warmer than a standard sock. For very high temperatures, consider lighter-weight or non-waterproof options.

How do I wash these waterproof socks?

Wash on a cool cycle at 30°C with similar colours. Use a non-detergent technical wash or a regular detergent on a low temperature. Do not use fabric softener, bleach, or iron. Line dry or tumble dry on low heat.

Are these socks suitable for hiking?

Yes, they are ideal for hiking, especially in wet or muddy conditions. The ankle length, waterproofing, and breathability make them suitable for varied terrains and weather.

What is the main difference between these and regular socks?

The primary difference is the integrated waterproof and breathable membrane and the Hydrostop™ technology, which prevent water from entering the sock, unlike regular socks.

Can these socks be worn by both men and women?

Yes, these socks are designed as unisex for adult use.

Troubleshooting

Water ingress despite wearing the socks

Check that the correct size has been selected, ensuring a snug fit. Verify the Hydrostop™ elastic is correctly positioned and sealing against the leg. Ensure the socks are pulled up fully. Inspect for any damage to the waterproof membrane.

Feet feel damp or sweaty

While breathable, prolonged high-intensity activity in very warm conditions may still lead to some internal moisture. Ensure the socks are not too tight, which can impede airflow. Allow socks to air dry thoroughly between uses.

Loss of waterproofness over time

Follow the care instructions precisely, avoiding fabric softeners, high heat, and harsh detergents. Inspect the socks for any signs of wear or damage to the membrane, especially around seams and the Hydrostop™ area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These socks are designed for immediate use like any other sock. Ensure you select the correct size for your foot to allow the Hydrostop™ feature to function effectively and provide a comfortable, snug fit.

Compatibility: The Dunton socks are suitable for a wide range of footwear, including boots, trail shoes, and trainers. They are designed for unisex, adult use across multiple activities.

Care Instructions: To maintain the waterproof properties and lifespan of your socks:

  1. Wash at 30°C (86°F) on a cool wash cycle.
  2. Wash with similar colours.
  3. For micro-bacterial protection, wash with non-detergent technical wash. If using regular detergent, wash at a low temperature. Do not use fabric softener.
  4. Ensure socks are pulled up to their full length for maximum protection and to ensure the Hydrostop™ seal is engaged.
  5. Line dry completely in a well-ventilated area or tumble dry on a low heat.
  6. Do not dry clean, iron, or bleach.
