Shoe size

Thick, very warm adult socks in pure organic virgin wool, with anti-slip pads.

Designed for:

  • staying warm at home
  • replacing slippers
  • practicing yoga or gentle exercises
  • keeping feet warm while sleeping
  • can be worn as slippers over other wool socks for extra warmth in very cold weather

Untreated virgin wool naturally regulates temperature:
it warms without suffocating and absorbs moisture without feeling wet.

To be worn all year round.

Organic cotton reinforcements provide better resistance in wear areas, without the use of synthetics.

The pads ensure good grip on smooth surfaces (parquet, tiles).

Why pure wool is ideal for feet

Wool can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet.
In contact with sweat, it creates a slightly acidic environment that naturally inhibits the development of bacteria and fungi.

This environment also helps limit friction that causes blisters.

  • Fewer odors
  • Fewer washes.
  • Respected physiological comfort.

Why have 100% wool socks become almost impossible to find?

Socks made of untreated pure wool are extremely rare today.
They can still be found at a few committed small manufacturers - but almost no longer in the classic textile industry.

Why?

Because wool is a living, natural... and fragile fiber.
And feet are the most stressed part of the body.

Manufacturers then have two options:

○ Reinforce with synthetic.
This almost always involves an anti-felting treatment (Superwash or equivalent) to make the wool more resistant and machine washable.
Consequence: the fiber is modified, stiffened, its scales altered - and it loses a large part of its natural properties that are so beneficial for socks (thermoregulation, moisture management, bacterial balance).

○ Defend real wool.
Accept that it requires hand washing.
Accept that it may felt in the machine.
Accept that it is not indestructible.

But this also means:

  • real breathability
  • authentic thermoregulation
  • naturally antibacterial environment
  • less frequent washing
  • unparalleled dry comfort
  • one of the rare alternatives suitable for sensitive skin or skin reactive to synthetic fibers (irritations, thermal discomfort, burning feet sensation, dermatological problems related to humidity).

Yes, pure wool socks can wear out.
Like all socks, for that matter. Even synthetics.
The difference? Synthetics are cheap, replaceable, disposable without us even realizing it - and washed very often.

Wool, however, makes you want to mend, repair, and keep it.

It's a conscious choice:
to prefer healthy, thermoregulated comfort, compatible with foot physiology -
rather than artificial durability achieved by adding plastic.

Few brands still accept complaints related to "fragility."
Yet, this is often the sign of the most precious quality.

Supporting these manufacturers means supporting intact wool.
And a different vision of textiles.

Size Guide

Measurements are for informational purposes only.

As wool is a knitted fabric, naturally stretchy and sensitive to humidity, a variation of about 0.5 to 1 cm may exist.
Slight shrinkage may also occur after washing if care is not perfectly adapted.

The sizes indicated correspond to German shoe sizes and are offered in double sizes (e.g., 36-37, 38-39).

Between two sizes?

If you are between two shoe sizes or hesitate between two double sizes, choose the smaller one. This model runs large. Because it is also designed to serve as slippers if you need to complement it with another model underneath.

For people with a small 36, you can also opt for the children's model in 35-36.

Example: my shoe size is a solid 41, I wear 40-41 for this model, I don't take 38-39 or 42-43. But I can also fit into my child's 38-39 for this model, exceptionally, because it is looser and has a stretchy knit.

Caution:
by taking the next size up, you are actually anticipating two full sizes.

A well-fitted sock that fully plays its thermal role is better than an oversized model that is difficult to use.

Why does an oversized sock lose effectiveness?

A wool sock must be properly fitted to fully perform its role.

If it is too large:

  • it creates creases => increased friction
  • it moves around in the shoe => loss of stability
  • it does not properly maintain the insulating air layer around the foot

However, the thermal insulation of wool relies on the micro-cavities of air trapped in the knit.
If the sock is loose, this natural regulation works less effectively.

A good fit allows for:

  • better thermoregulation
  • optimal comfort
  • more even wear

Wool is stretchy: it molds to the foot without compressing it.
Therefore, it is not necessary to "think big."

Composition

- 100% GOTS-certified organic virgin wool
- PVC- and phthalate-free silicone dots
- Organic cotton heel and toe reinforcement
- Vegetable dyes
- Pre-washed with clear water (no detergent)

No need to wash before first use.

Maintenance tips

Pure wool socks rarely need washing.
Wool naturally regulates moisture and limits odours.

‱ Frequency
Wear for 1 day, air for 1–2 days.
Washing every 2-3 months is usually sufficient.

‱ Washing
- Hand wash only
- Cold or room temperature water
- Maintain the same temperature from washing to rinsing

Wool cannot withstand thermal variations or agitation.

‱ Detergent
- Use liquid wool-specific detergent only.
Avoid conventional detergents (alkaline).

‱ Drying
- Do not tumble dry
- Avoid radiators or direct sunlight
- Roll in a towel to absorb water without wringing
- Dry flat

‱ Care
Occasional lanolin treatment helps maintain wool's natural properties.

Frequently Asked Questions

‱ Can they be worn with shoes?
No, this model is not suitable for shoes. The non-slip pads will prevent the sock from moving, which would be neither comfortable nor pleasant.

‱ Can they replace slippers?
Yes,
they are thick and insulating enough for indoor use.
The pads provide good stability on smooth floors.

‱ Do the pads contain plastic?
The pads are made of silicone, without PVC or phthalates.
They provide the necessary grip while remaining compliant with textile safety standards.

‱ Do the pads hinder breathability?
No.
They are positioned only under the ball of the foot and do not alter the thermoregulatory properties of the wool.

‱ Why not add synthetic materials to reinforce them?
Because reinforcing generally implies:
- adding plastic fibers
- anti-felting treatment
- modification of the natural surface of the wool

These processes improve mechanical resistance...
but alter the essential properties: breathability, moisture management, natural bacterial balance.

Here, the choice is made in favor of intact fiber.

‱ Are they less durable than synthetic socks?
They may wear out faster than synthetics.
But:
- they require fewer washes
- they naturally regulate moisture
- they are repairable
Synthetic socks also wear out – it's just that their low price makes their replacement trivial.

‱ Should they be washed before first use?
No.
The socks are pre-washed with clear water in the factory (without detergent), which makes them clean and soft upon receipt.

‱ Are they suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, it is a soft wool, although sensitivity is individual.
It may be suitable for feet sensitive to synthetics or prone to irritation.

Yuliya's Tips

I highly recommend this brand!
Since 2013, we've been wearing them at home, in our shoes, in all sizes and all the models I offer.
Over 20,000 pairs have found their way into homes with my guidance.

We wash them very rarely.
Months of use with simple airing... and each time, the same surprise: they remain clean and effective.

I sleep in these socks.
They are part of my daily life.

They are indispensable to me due to poor circulation and icy feet.
And when my children describe sensations of "burning feet" - situations where natural material becomes precious.

These are not "perfect" socks in the industrial sense of the word.
They are genuine socks.
And that is precisely why I continue to champion them! Their rarity in the field of sustainable fashion is a growing problem.
