Sock care

Care Instructions

Bamboo asks very little. Follow these and your socks stay soft, comfortable and fresh.

Washing

  • Turn socks inside out before washing to protect the fabric.
  • Wash cool at 30°C. Bamboo does not need heat to come out clean.
  • Use a gentle cycle on your washing machine.
  • Use a mild detergent, and avoid bleach, fabric softeners or harsh chemicals.

Drying

  • Air drying is best. Lay flat or hang them in a shaded spot to keep their shape and softness.
  • Avoid the tumble dryer. If you must, use the low heat setting.
  • Do not wring them out. Gently squeeze the water out instead.

A few extra things

  • Wash with similar colours.
  • Avoid ironing.
  • Store somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight.
Why no fabric softener?

Softener coats the fabric and stops it drawing damp away, which is the thing you bought bamboo for. Skip it and the socks stay quick-drying.

Still not right?

Every pair carries our 6-month sock guarantee. If they wear through before then, get in touch and we will replace them.

These socks are just perfect. The fit, the length, the feel. I'm autistic and struggle to find clothing I like, but these have become my favourite socks.

Incredible on big walks (10–30km), solid cushioning and support throughout. Gym 3–5 times a week in them too, and no sign of wear.
Andy Taylor
Beautiful quality and super soft, with the perfect thickness under walking boots. Genuinely the best socks I've ever bought.

Super comfortable, soft and breathable. They don't fray and last a long time, I've replaced all my other socks with them.
Paul Pearson
Top quality and very stylish bamboo hiking socks. Very comfy, and lots of friends asking where they can get a pair!
