Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose merino wool for running socks?

Merino wool offers exceptional performance characteristics that set it apart from synthetic-only running socks. The superfine fibres provide superior softness against the skin, excellent moisture wicking to keep you dry, natural temperature regulation in both warm and cool conditions, and inherent odour resistance that keeps socks fresher for longer—even during intense training. When sourced responsibly from mulesing-free farms and processed using environmentally conscious methods such as chlorine-free, Bluesign® certified treatments, merino wool combines outstanding running performance with ethical and environmental responsibility.

What cushioning level should I choose for distance running?

The light half cushioning 2.0 in the TEKO Enduro provides excellent performance for distance running and marathon training. The light padding under foot delivers comfortable protection without the bulk that can slow you down, whilst maintaining excellent breathability and quick-drying properties. This level is ideal for road running, trail running, and ultra-distance events. Many runners prefer light cushioning for the responsive feel and reduced weight, particularly for races and faster-paced training runs.

Can I wear merino wool running socks in summer?

Absolutely! Merino wool naturally regulates temperature, making these socks suitable for year-round running. The natural fibres adapt to conditions—in warm weather, merino effectively wicks moisture away from skin and provides cooling breathability. The light half cushioning 2.0 ensures you don't overheat, whilst the recycled polyester content enhances quick-drying performance. Many runners find merino actually keeps feet more comfortable in summer than synthetic-only socks, as the natural fibres manage moisture more effectively and resist odour even during hot conditions.

Are TEKO running socks made from sustainable materials?

Yes, the Enduro features 65% merino wool that is mulesing-free and processed without chlorine to Bluesign® standards—the highest environmental certification for textiles. The 33% recycled polyester component gives new life to post-consumer materials, reducing waste and environmental impact. All TEKO socks are manufactured using renewable energy in Italy and are OEKO-TEX® certified, meaning they're tested free from harmful substances. The combination of ethical wool sourcing, recycled content, clean processing, and renewable manufacturing demonstrates comprehensive environmental responsibility without compromising running performance.

How should I care for my merino wool running socks?

Wash your TEKO eco RUN Enduro socks at 30°C (machine or hand wash) after each run to maintain fabric integrity and save energy. Always air dry—avoid tumble dryers as heat can damage merino fibres and reduce sock longevity. Do not use bleach, fabric softener, iron, or dry clean. The chlorine-free merino wool treatment means these socks maintain their softness and performance properties even after many washes. Proper care extends the life of your socks whilst supporting their environmental credentials through energy-efficient washing.
