The acrylic and nylon content makes them durable for machine washing, but the wool portion can shrink with heat, so avoid hot water and high heat drying.","q":"Can these socks be machine washed and dried, or do they require hand washing to avoid shrinkage?"},{"a":"These socks are thick and contain 40% wool, so they offer solid warmth—comparable to midweight wool socks. They're suitable for cold winter temperatures but may not be enough for extreme cold (below -20°C) due to the acrylic blend reducing insulation compared to pure wool.","q":"How warm are these socks compared to standard wool socks? Are they suitable for very cold winter temperatures?"},{"a":"Like most acrylic-wool blends, these socks may experience some pilling after repeated washing, especially the acrylic component. To minimize pilling, wash inside out on gentle cycle and avoid fabric softeners. The wool content helps retain softness, but some loss of softness over time is typical.","q":"Do the acrylic and wool blend in these socks tend to pill or lose softness after a few washes?"},{"a":"The socks feature an elastic edging and are described as stretch knit, so they provide a snug but not overly tight fit around the calf. They have good stretch thanks to the spandex and nylon content, making them comfortable for average to slightly larger calves, but they may feel constrictive if you have very large calves.","q":"Are these socks tight around the calf, or do they have a relaxed fit for those with larger legs?"}],"reviews":[{"date":"March 30, 2026","title":"Excellent bas d'hiver chaud, efficace et durable!","rating":5,"content":"Bonjour,\nFranchement les meilleurs bas d'hiver achetés chez Simons pour leurs chaleurs, épaisseurs et durabilité.\nPas besoin de chaussons d'intérieurs, ils font le travail amplement seuls.
