FAQs

Are these socks machine washable?

Yes, they are machine washable, but it is recommended to wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the wool fibers.

Can I tumble dry these socks?

Tumble dry on low heat only. High heat can cause the wool to shrink and damage the elastic fit system.

Are these suitable for winter hiking?

Merino wool provides excellent insulation, making them suitable for cool to cold weather. For extreme winter conditions, you might consider a heavier weight version.

Do these socks cause blisters?

The virtually seamless toe and the 4 Degree Elite Fit system are specifically designed to reduce friction and movement, which are the primary causes of blisters.

What does the S size mean?

S refers to a size small, which typically aligns with specific shoe size ranges for women's footwear.

Troubleshooting

Sock feels loose or slides down

Ensure the fit is correct for your foot size; if the issue persists, the elastic may have stretched due to high-heat drying.

Visible pilling on the sole

Pilling is common with natural fibers; use a fabric shaver gently to remove surface fuzz, but avoid pulling at the fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality Merino wool prevents odors
  • Reinforced durability zones extend sock life
  • Seamless toe design enhances comfort during long treks
  • Excellent moisture-wicking properties

Cons

  • Requires delicate wash cycle for longevity
  • May be too warm for high-intensity summer activities
  • Higher price point compared to synthetic blends

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, ensure you select the correct size (S) based on your specific foot dimensions. These socks are compatible with most standard hiking boots, trail runners, and light trekking footwear. To ensure longevity, always wash them inside out in cold or warm water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the natural fibers. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry in the shade to prevent shrinkage and fiber damage.
