Sock Care and Fit Guide

Choose the right fit

Socks should fit closely without pinching the toes or restricting circulation. Review the listed sock height and intended activity. If the cuff leaves deep marks or the heel sits far from your heel, try a different size or style.

Washing

Follow the care label. In general, machine wash wool socks in cool or lukewarm water on a gentle cycle with a wool-friendly detergent. Turn socks inside out and avoid bleach, harsh enzymes or fabric softener.

Drying

Air drying is preferred. If machine drying is explicitly allowed, use the lowest heat setting and remove the socks while still slightly damp. High heat can shrink wool and reduce elasticity.

Storage

Store socks clean and fully dry. Keep pairs together and avoid damp drawers. For travel, roll or fold rather than stretching the cuff tightly around other garments.

Replace worn socks

Discard socks with worn-through heels, loose elastic, holes or seams that cause irritation. Prevent blisters by keeping footwear dry and stopping use if a seam or fold creates persistent rubbing.
