Frequently Asked Questions

What size should I get?

Men's sizes follow your US shoe size: Medium fits 6 to 8.5, Large fits 9 to 11.5, and X-Large fits 12 to 14.5. If you're between sizes, size down, since the merino and spandex blend stretches for a snug fit. If you have wide or high-volume feet, size up. See the full size guide.

Are they dressy enough for the office?

Yes. They come in Grey Argyle and Minimal Grey, and the thin ultralight knit slips easily into dress shoes and loafers without feeling tight.

Can I wear them for bike commutes and travel?

That's what they're built for. Merino wicks sweat and resists odor, so you can ride to work, sit through meetings and head out after without changing socks. They're a great pick for business trips too.

Are they warm enough for winter?

Merino keeps feet comfortable across seasons, warm when it's cold and cool when it's warm. For colder outdoor days, our medium cushion socks add more warmth.

How should I wash them?

Turn them inside out, machine wash cold or warm with like colors, and tumble dry on low to warm heat. Skip bleach and fabric softener, because softener can reduce wicking. Every sock is preshrunk, but high heat can still shrink wool over time. Full tips are in our washing guide.

Where are these made?

They're knit in Fort Payne, Alabama from 59% merino wool, 34% nylon and 7% spandex, and every pair is backed by our lifetime guarantee.

What does the lifetime guarantee cover?

If your socks ever get a hole, or your dog eats your favorite pair, send us the guarantee form with your order number, or the name and email you ordered with. Our in-house team will replace them.

Why isn't the merino percentage 80% if the yarn is 80% merino?

Every Cloudline sock is knit from the same yarn: 80% RWS certified merino wool and 20% nylon. The nylon makes the yarn much more durable, since 100% merino wears through quickly. The fiber content on each sock also counts the nylon reinforcement and the spandex that keeps the fit snug. That's why the merino percentage changes a little from style to style.

The Cloudline Lifetime Guarantee

Wear a hole in them. We'll replace them. For life.

No time limit. Holes, worn-out heels and toes, even the pair the dog got to. It covers every Cloudline sock.

Why merino wool socks?

Cool in heat, warm in cold

Merino adapts to your effort and the weather, so one sock works from desert miles to winter trails.

Dry feet, fewer blisters

It wicks sweat away from skin, which is why it works for sweaty feet and long days in boots.

Naturally odor resistant

No chemicals or metals added. Kick your shoes off at the end of the day with confidence.

Soft, not itchy

Fine-gauge merino yarn feels nothing like the scratchy wool socks you remember.

Great Socks

These socks are comfortable, stylish, and just the right weight for winters with temps around freezing. My feet have been warm without the socks taking up extra space in my shoes. The elastic at the top also holds the socks in place all day. Time will tell if they resist becoming threadbare, but the socks seem well-constructed.

Exceeded expectations!

I wound up ordering more in the 1/4 size light cushion once I started wearing them. They are my go to now, and I walk a lot!

Quality merino socks

I was looking for a quality merino sock that was heavier than my dress socks and lighter than my Smartwool, Darn Tough and Wigwam hikers. These Cloudline socks are a good medium weight - definitely heavier and warmer than a typical dress sock, but fine for daily use with sneakers and light boots. After the first couple wears, my impression is they have solid construction and comfortable fit.

Best, most comfortable sock I’ve ever had. These are truly superior in quality. I have to dress formal each week so I bought an extra set. They really save my feet.

Excellent Sock

Great merino wool sock for casual to dressy wear. Sturdy, but not too thick. I particularly appreciate the roomy toe area — so many other socks think our feet are pointed. Excellent quality for a fair price, and made in the USA!

Very comfortable socks for casual use but beware of the size chart

These are probably the most comfortable casual wool socks I have. Now, during the winter, they are just perfect for everyday casual use around the house, in the office, for commutes etc. They are very soft and relatively thin (but, unfortunately, not thin enough for summer time). They breathe well, stay dry, don't stink and maintain softness after several days of wear. However, part of the reason they are so comfortable is that they run large - I got large size (9-11.5, supposedly) and they fit a bit loose on my 11.5 US (44.5 EU) feet. Only on the actual feet part - the leg part is absolutely perfect size, they don't slide down at all and they don't squeeze legs at all, However, because they are somewhat loose on the feet, I don't think they will be a good choice for something way more active like hiking. I feel that size chart is wrong, I can't imagine these socks in large size fitting someone with size 9 feet, they seem to be optimal for 12.

Loving them so far!

So far, so good. The socks are warm and comfy, and seem quite durable. I bought them for the lifetime warranty—which hopefully I won't ever need, but you never know—so I'll update this review if and when that day comes. Until then—I'm loving em! Design and quality look and feel top notch.

Very Comfortable, Perfect Fit

Now that I have worn these a few times, I can say that they are among the best socks I have. I like the way they look, but most important is the top-notch comfort and fit. I will not hesitate to purchase more as needed. And, of course, the environmental consideration behind them is important to me.

Great socks with hassle free warranty

I currently have 15 pairs of Cloudline socks. The only socks I wear year around. I have had a few pair grow holes, and their lifetime warranty is a lifetime warranty. Send customer service a quick email and your new sock is on the way. I'll buy more! Worth the price and they are made in the USA!

I bought these as a gift. I was very disappointed, these said they would fit xl foot. They would not even go onto a size 12 foot. These fit very tight

Hi Amy,

We're very sorry to hear the socks you gifted didn't fit well. I just emailed you so we can do a free exchange and get them a pair that fits.
