FAQs

What makes these socks 'performance' socks?

They are designed with specific features like moisture-wicking, anti-microbial fabrication, and a thin profile to enhance comfort and performance during equestrian activities.

Are these socks suitable for everyday wear?

While comfortable, their design is optimized for wearing with tall riding boots. They can be worn casually, but their key benefits are most realized in an equestrian context.

How do I ensure the best fit with my riding boots?

The thin under-boot design is meant to prevent bulk. Ensure your riding boots already fit well; these socks will add minimal volume, maintaining that fit.

What is the primary material composition?

The socks are primarily made of 61% nylon, 36% polyester, and 3% elastane.

Can these socks help prevent blisters?

Yes, by effectively managing moisture and providing a smooth, non-chafing layer inside your boots, they can help reduce the risk of blisters.

How often should I wash these socks?

It is recommended to wash them after each use to maintain their performance features, especially the moisture-wicking and anti-microbial properties.

What does AriatTEK® mean?

AriatTEK® refers to Ariat's technology designed to provide optimum comfort in all weather conditions.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too thin or lack cushioning.

These socks are designed for a thin, under-boot fit. If more cushioning is desired, consider using them for shorter rides or exploring other sock options with thicker padding.

Moisture-wicking seems less effective.

Ensure socks are clean and free of fabric softeners, which can impede wicking. Also, verify that boots are not overly tight, as this can restrict airflow and moisture evaporation.

Anti-microbial properties not noticeable.

While the properties are inherent to the fabric, effectiveness can vary. Proper hygiene and regular washing according to care instructions will maximize the benefits.
