Wash in 4 Steps

  • 1. Turn your socks inside out before washing to clean out sweat and dead skin cells from your feet.

  • 2. Machine-wash cold on gentle cycle. Avoid hot water as heat may shrink wool and damage the elastic yarns, especially with compression socks. For best results, use a washing net to retain shape and avoid stretching during wash.

  • 3. Use mild soap, no bleach or fabric softener. Bleach destroys merino wool fibers and fabric softener coats those fibers — reducing their ability to naturally manage moisture and regulate body temperature.

  • 4. Air-dry, especially with compression socks, to reduce your environmental impact and further extend the life of socks. Dry your socks by laying them flat (hanging wet wool may distort the shape).
