No other material is both so wonderfully soft and simultaneously warm on your feet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHow do the socks stay nice after washing?\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/strong\u003eOnly wash the socks when it’s really necessary. Woolen socks can be worn for multiple days in a row. To extend the life of your socks, wash them on a wool cycle, or by hand. Alternatively, hang them in the bathroom while you take a hot shower; the steam will freshen them up. A nourishing wool detergent is also recommended because it conditions the fibers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAre the socks produced sustainably?\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/strong\u003eAbsolutely! That said, there are of course some steps in the production process that are not so sustainable, such as transporting the raw materials and the energy required to run the machines (despite the solar panels on the factory roof). But my suppliers and I do our very best. Firstly, we only use mulesing-free merino wool, so the animals are not mistreated. Secondly, we only work with European partners who must meet strict standards. Thirdly, wool is a natural product that does not require a chemical process to be processed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat makes these socks comfortable?\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/strong\u003eThese socks have seamless toes, which eliminates irritation in that area. Thanks to the high percentage (85%!) of merino wool, they also feel wonderfully soft on your feet. You won’t develop sweaty feet because merino wool is antibacterial, and no other material can match merino in terms of moisture regulation! From the start, we chose a true ribbed structure and no “tight band” at the top of the sock, so they don’t pinch your legs anywhere. We place a lot of importance on wearing comfort.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhich colors and patterns are available?\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/strong\u003eWe’ve carefully selected a palette of nine colors for the entire collection. New socks are introduced with a few colors from this palette. Sometimes we only combine dark colors, sometimes only light ones. You can accentuate your own style with bold, eye-catching socks, or opt for a quieter tone-on-tone effect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhich sizes are available?\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/strong\u003eEach sock is offered in at least the three most common sizes: 35–38, 39–42, and 43–46. Some combinations are also available in size 47–49 or 31–34. And we already have a nice collection for the little ones as well. Each new size is a big investment, and these special sizes don’t sell as frequently. That’s why it’s not always feasible (yet) for us to produce socks for every single foot size. Sorry about that!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHow is the fit? Do they stretch out?\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/strong\u003eBecause our woolen socks are knitted with a genuine ribbed structure, they are naturally elastic. However, that doesn’t mean you can wear socks that are too small. If you’re in doubt, we recommend choosing a slightly larger size. Wool socks are more likely to shrink than stretch out. If you wash them carefully, following the wool care instructions, your socks will last longer and keep their shape beautifully.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhy are these socks worth the higher price?\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/strong\u003eBecause at Zokk’n we make \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ereal\u003c\/strong\u003e wool socks with 85% merino wool! Because we have them knitted in Portugal by one of the most respected sock manufacturers in the world – a family business proud of their craftsmanship and their reputation. It’s a company where every employee is known by name and receives a fair wage. We also developed a really fun concept focusing on high-quality details: every sock has a little organic cotton label at the back with our logo embroidered on the outside and the sock name on the inside. Each size also has a unique toe color, so you can quickly find your own socks. Lastly, we sell our socks individually so you can immediately mix and match, or replace just the single sock you’re missing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/zokkn.be\/en-be\/collections\/de-beste-sokken.oembed","provider":"zokkn.be","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
