So beautiful, warm and soft… I dare say that even Grandma couldn't have knitted them like this.
Why these socks are so great
These wool socks from Hirsch Natur are made of 100% organic, fairly produced wool. No synthetic fibers, no tricks, just pure nature. And you can feel it. Wool breathes, insulates and keeps your feet warm without them getting clammy. Warm feet aren't just pleasant, they help your whole body relax. Anyone who has ever lain in bed with cold feet knows how difficult it is to fall asleep.
The Norwegian ice crystal pattern makes these socks not only functional, but also beautiful to behold. They are available in several colors, so there is always a version that suits you.
Size advice: they run large
Important to know: the wool socks from Hirsch Natur run large. They fit like the smallest size on the label. Are you doubting between two sizes? Then definitely choose the smaller size. For example, if you normally wear size 39 or 40, we recommend size 38/39. That way, they fit snugly and do their job best.
100% wool also means: being honest about wear and tear
These socks are made of 100% wool. That means maximum comfort, but also that they may wear out faster than socks with synthetic fibers. That is part of it. Do you see the socks getting thinner? Then mend them with darning wool. It's easier than you think and actually quite fun to do.
Please note: these socks are not suitable for wearing as slippers. Combine them with appropriate shoes or real slippers for a longer lifespan. We do not provide a warranty on wear and tear on your wool socks. This can happen faster for one person than for another. If you follow our instructions, you will extend their lifespan. But you can never prevent it. For some, socks wear out within a week, and others can use them for winters on end. Keep this in mind when choosing pure wool socks.
You don't have to wash wool socks
Yes, really. Wool is self-cleaning. Often it is enough to let your socks air out overnight after wearing them. Hang them up and you can wear them again the next day.
Do you want to wash them anyway? Do so as little as possible and always with a wool detergent containing lanolin, such as Lanalicious. Lanolin nourishes the wool and ensures that your socks remain soft, supple and functional. Wash on a wool cycle, use little detergent and let them dry flat.

But also read our laundry guide, which you receive with every purchase, carefully.
GOTS-certified and fairly produced
These socks are GOTS-certified. That means attention to animal welfare, the environment, and the people who make them. From happy sheep, we don't just get beautiful wool, but also truly warm feet.
