What’s the deal with Polyamide yarn?
We wanted our trail socks to be superior quality, so we chose Polyamide yarn. Known for its strength and durability, Polyamide offers excellent temperature control, comfort, and longevity compared to traditional materials like cotton and wool. Its blend with Elastane ensures a snug fit, enhancing performance during your runs. The high-quality and durable Polyamide, combined with Elastane, provides exceptional breathability and sweat-wicking properties, keeping your feet dry and comfortable.
What actually makes these socks anti-blister?
Our socks are designed to provide maximum protection and comfort. The single-layer construction of Polyamide and Elastane offers a snug fit that reduces movement within the shoe, minimizing friction and the risk of blisters. T
he Elastane adds flexibility, ensuring the socks move with your feet, providing an extra layer of protection against abrasion. Features like zone cushioning around the heel and toe and mesh construction for rapid moisture transportation and breathability further enhance comfort and blister prevention.
Blisters and sores are very common in trail running, and we've all seen those painful post-race foot photos on social media! It’s essential to treat your feet to socks that prevent these issues, ensuring your feet don’t let you down on a key training or race day.
How long will my trail socks last?
Polyamide yarn is renowned for its durability. It withstands abrasion, tension, and tearing better than cotton or wool, making it perfect for all those sweaty and muddy long runs. The addition of Elastane ensures the socks retain their shape and fit even after extensive use.
These socks maintain their colour and performance through the toughest training and weather conditions, thanks to the robust properties of Polyamide. The high-quality knit and durable construction ensure these socks will last, providing long-term value for your investment.
How good are they in hot and cold weather?
Maintaining an ideal temperature is key to foot comfort, especially for long runs in varying weather conditions. Socks made from Polyamide yarn effectively regulate temperature against the skin.
In the cold winter months, Polyamide provides excellent insulation, keeping your feet warm. In warmer weather, the material wicks moisture away from the skin, keeping your feet dry and comfortable for longer periods compared to wool, cotton, and polyester.
The Elastane ensures a breathable fit, enhancing overall comfort during your runs. Additionally, the socks feature arch reinforcement to ensure a perfect fit and extra support, as well as an ergonomically shaped construction for left and right feet, providing tailored comfort and performance.
How do I wash my trail running socks?
Our socks will not shrink or fade in the wash and can be washed at 40 degrees on a normal cycle and hang dry. Please wash dark colours separately.
Do not bleach, do not iron, do not dry clean, do not tumble dry.
