Ghost Robes Speed Socks are luxury socks designed for outdoor swimmers to wear before and after swimming.
They have been designed to easily slide onto damp feet when your hands are cold and not functioning as well as you would like them to.
Speed Socks are made in Yorkshire, using traditional methods of knitting combined with modern machinery, ensuring the highest quality for your feet and sustainability for the environment.
Speed Socks are made from Merino wool which is a natural fibre, it is the finest and softest sheep's wool in the world. It is soft on the skin and doesn't feel "scratchy". Merino wool is breathable, antimicrobial, thermoregulating, moisture wicking, biodegradable, and renewable. To put it simply, Merino wool is amazing.
Speed Socks
You don't need to wash your socks every time you wear them, simply leave them to air overnight. They stay fresh due to the anti-bacterial properties of Merino wool.
Please wash your Speed Socks inside out.
Machine wash - Using a mild detergent, wash them on a wool cycle or a delicate cycle. DO NOT tumble dry.
Hand wash - This is easy. Put your socks in a bowl of warm water with a mild detergent and leave them to soak for 10 minutes. Next, rinse them in warm water, then rinse them again in cold water.
Drying - Squeeze out the excess water by rolling the socks up. You can use a towel and apply pressure to draw out more water. Hang them in an airing cupboard until they are dry.
Do not put them over a radiator to dry.
If you are between sizes I suggest ordering the smaller size rather than the bigger size.
When you recieve your socks you will probably be surprised by the length of them (they look big).
They are long, but once you put them on you will find that they get shorter as your leg stretches them sideways.
They will also shrink after washing and drying, but they easily stretch again.
