Q. How breathable are your waterproof socks
A. The membrane barrier is 100% waterproof and 75% breathable (BS 7209:1990 STM 200), thanks to Porelle's more than 40 years manufacturing knowhow. For better understanding said breathability, please make a comparison of 100% waterproof yet non-breathable neoprene rubber material versus non-waterproof yet 100% breathable polo shirt fabric.
Q. Can I use your waterproof socks for swimming or other sports that need to submerge the socks
A. Not absolutely. Please note the term 'waterproof' indicates that Only the composite fabric with membrane sandwiched is waterproof. It doesn't mean however you can submerge DexShell socks in water or ride for many hours in the rain without experiencing some water ingress. The water may run into the socks from the tops leading you to believe that they're not waterproof!
Q. Why did I feel a bit cool when I walked into watersWas my waterproof sock leaking
A. No. Please note the waterproof sock can keep your feet dry but the cold water outside still effects and gets the temperature drop.
Q. What size should I choose
A. Please refer to the size chart below which includes four sizes available. Please note our waterproof socks are fabricated by lamination thus the composite fabric is not as stretchy as that of ordinary knit socks. Also please take a close look at the fit type for each socks recommended in our Comparison Chart at bottom. No matter if you are at the upper edge of a size, or if you have wide feet, you must choose a SIZE UP from your normal shoe size.
Q. How to wash your waterproof socks
A. Machine wash tumble dry low. Normal detergents. DO NOT DRY ON ANY DIRECT HEAT which will cause delamination of composite fabrics!
