Your favourite socks deserve a little love.
Whether you choose a soft neutral or a bright pop of colour, a few simple habits can help keep your Sole of Seoul socks soft, colourful and comfortably fitting for longer.
And the good news? Taking care of them is easier than you might think.
Hand Wash or Machine Wash?
The care label on our socks recommends hand washing — the traditional, gentle approach of our Korean manufacturer.
But we know everyday life can be busy. That's why we've also tested our socks in the washing machine, with good results at 30°C to 40°C.
Our tip: For everyday care, we recommend 30°C on a gentle cycle, even though machine washing goes beyond the original label instructions.
Five Simple Care Tips
-
Turn them inside out. This helps clean the inside while protecting the outer surface and colours.
-
Wash similar colours together. Especially during the first few washes, keep lighter and darker shades separate.
-
Keep it gentle. Use a mild detergent, avoid bleach and fabric softener, and consider a mesh laundry bag for extra protection.
-
Let them air dry. Gently reshape your socks after washing and allow them to dry naturally. Avoid tumble drying.
-
Store them loosely. Once dry, fold your socks without stretching the cuffs unnecessarily.
What Do the Care Symbols Mean?
The five symbols on our label are easy to understand:
-
Hand wash: The gentlest way to clean your socks.
-
Do not bleach: Avoid bleaching products.
-
Do not tumble dry: Let your socks dry naturally.
-
Do not iron: No ironing needed.
-
Do not dry clean: Stick to gentle washing.
