FAQs

What makes Merino wool ideal for running socks?

Merino wool is naturally thermoregulating, moisture-wicking, breathable, and antimicrobial. This means it helps keep your feet at a comfortable temperature, draws sweat away to keep them dry, allows air to circulate, and naturally fights odour.

How do I know if I'm wearing the left and right sock correctly?

The socks are designed with an ergonomic fit, meaning they are specifically shaped for the left and right foot. Look for subtle differences in the contouring around the heel and arch area, or check for any internal labels indicating L/R if present.

Can I wear these socks in very hot weather?

Yes, Merino wool is thermoregulating, meaning it helps keep you cool as well as warm. The blend with nylon also enhances breathability and moisture-wicking, making them suitable for a range of temperatures, though extremely high heat might feel warmer than a purely synthetic sock for some individuals.

How often should I wash these socks?

Thanks to Merino wool's natural odour-resistant properties, you can often get multiple wears between washes, especially for shorter runs. However, for optimal hygiene and material longevity, it's recommended to wash them after each strenuous or long run, following the care instructions.

What is the advantage of the Achilles heel protector?

The Achilles heel protector is an additional layer of padding designed to reduce friction and pressure in this high-wear area. This helps to prevent blisters and irritation that can occur from rubbing against the sock or shoe.

Are these socks suitable for hiking or other activities?

While designed primarily for running, the comfort, cushioning, and moisture-wicking properties of these socks can also make them suitable for other endurance activities like hiking, particularly if blister prevention and temperature regulation are priorities.

What does 'non-mulesed' mean?

'Non-mulesed' refers to the process of shearing sheep. It means the wool was sourced from sheep that were not subjected to mulesing, a surgical procedure performed on lambs to prevent parasitic infections. It indicates a more ethical sourcing practice for the wool.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight or too loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the product's sizing guide. A proper fit is crucial for performance and comfort.

Reduced cushioning effect over time.

Follow the recommended care instructions carefully. Excessive heat from washing or drying can degrade the cushioning material.

Discomfort or irritation despite the design.

Verify you are wearing the socks with the correct left and right orientation. Ensure no debris is trapped inside the sock before wearing.

Noticeable odour after multiple wears.

While Merino wool is naturally antimicrobial, heavy perspiration or contamination can still lead to odour. Adhere to the recommended washing schedule and care instructions.
