FAQs

Are these socks suitable for winter hiking?

Yes, the Merino wool blend interior provides warmth and insulation, making them suitable for cold weather conditions while maintaining waterproofing.

How do I clean the Sealskinz Dunton socks?

Machine wash them inside out at 40°C (104°F). Do not tumble dry or iron them. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners.

What is Hydrostop technology?

Hydrostop is a silicone-free elastic taping inside the sock cuff designed to prevent water from dripping down your leg into the sock.

Can I wear these socks with everyday shoes?

While they are designed for outdoor activities and can be worn with boots or trail shoes, they can also be worn with casual footwear. However, be mindful of potential skin irritation from the Hydrostop cuff during prolonged, close-contact wear.

How long do the waterproof properties last?

The waterproof membrane is integrated into the sock's construction and is designed for durability. Proper care, as outlined in the instructions, will help maintain the waterproof performance over time.

What size should I choose?

Refer to the sizing guide for Sealskinz products. A correct fit is crucial for both comfort and the effectiveness of the waterproofing and Hydrostop features.

Do these socks get hot in warmer weather?

The socks are designed with breathability to manage moisture and temperature. While they offer protection in all weather, the Merino wool blend can feel warmer than a thin synthetic sock in extreme heat. However, their breathability helps prevent overheating compared to non-breathable waterproof socks.

Troubleshooting

Water ingress despite wearing the socks

Ensure the Hydrostop cuff is positioned correctly and making good contact with the leg. Check that there are no holes or damage to the sock material. For prolonged use in very wet conditions, consider ensuring the outer layer of your trousers is effectively shedding water away from the sock cuff.

Feet feel damp or clammy

This may indicate the socks are exceeding their breathability limit during extreme exertion or very high ambient temperatures. Ensure the socks are not too tight, which can restrict airflow. Wash the socks as per care instructions to ensure the membrane is clear of any residues that might impede breathability.

Skin irritation around the cuff

This can occur with prolonged wear due to the Hydrostop friction. Try wearing the socks for shorter durations, ensuring a proper fit, or using moisture-wicking liner socks underneath. For sensitive skin, it's recommended to use these socks primarily for outdoor activities rather than extended indoor wear.

Pros and Cons

  • Keeps feet completely dry in wet conditions.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F).
  2. Drying: Hang dry. Do not tumble dry or iron.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can damage the waterproof membrane. For best results, wash inside out.
