Hywell technology
Twenty Years Of Making Shoes, Knit Into A Sock
Hywell comes from HEVA, a footwear maker with more than two decades behind it. Every pair is designed and tested in house by the people who spent those years on comfort.
144
Needle knit
A tighter, stronger fabric that keeps its fit inside a boot and holds the cushion in shape.
2mm
Maxicushion
Dense terry loops under the foot that take the edge off hard floors and bounce back each step.
0
Toe seam bumps
A flat, fused toe seam that stays smooth in steel toes and on long walks.
12h
Odor control
Merino's natural keratin breaks down the bacteria behind sock smell instead of masking it.
The difference
Hywell Merino Vs Everyday Socks
| What matters on a long shift | Hywell merino | Typical multipack |
|---|---|---|
| Cushion under the foot | 2mm Maxicushion | Thin or none |
| Heel and toe built for wear | Reinforced | Thins out fast |
| Sweat and smell | Merino wicks and resists odor | Cotton holds moisture |
| How long it is guaranteed | 10 years | Basic returns |
Built to last
The 10-Year Warranty, In Plain Words
It covers every pair in the Merino Wool Socks collection: boot, crew, ankle and no show. Other styles have our 30-day return policy.
We replace them when
- The heel or toe thins out or wears through early
- A reinforcement yarn breaks or a seam opens
- The cuff goes loose and stops staying up
- The fabric shrinks or deforms abnormally
Not covered
- Hot water, bleach or tumble drying damage
- Socks lost in the wash (we know)
- The dog got them
- Pairs not bought from Hywell or an authorized partner

"After a 12-hour shift in work boots, putting these on feels like heaven. They are thick but don't make my feet sweat."
Mike D."The padding isn't super thick, but it's dense. It takes the edge off standing on concrete all day. They don't bunch up inside my boots."
Steven Carter"I usually double up on socks for winter work, but decided to try just one pair of these. My feet stayed dry and didn't feel clammy after walking in slush."
Ethan Walker"The fabric feels tougher than it looks. I've already scraped the heel area inside my boots a few times, and there's no thinning yet."
Corey Douglas"The knit on these feels tighter than most wool socks I've tried. They didn't get swampy on me, which is usually my issue with wool blends."
David Ritchie"I've been in a few damp, narrow areas recently with a lot of crouching and crawling. These have held up better than the multipack socks I usually buy."

Our story
It Started With A Letter From A Chef
He stood more than ten hours a day in a hot kitchen and cheap socks gave him blisters. He tried our athletic socks. Better, not perfect. That letter is why the merino line exists: a sock built for people who stand and work all day, not just for a workout.

Questions
Before You Buy
Can I put merino wool socks in the dryer?
We recommend air drying. Heat is the main cause of shrinkage and lost stretch, and heat damage is not covered by the warranty. Wash cold, inside out, on a gentle cycle.
Which socks does the 10-year warranty cover?
The Merino Wool Socks collection: boot, crew, ankle and no show. Other styles have our 30-day return policy.
How do I pick my size?
M fits US men's 7 to 9.5, L fits 10 to 11.5 and XL fits 12 to 14. Between sizes, the sock finder above matches you.
Where do orders ship from and how fast?
Our warehouse in New York State. Packages typically arrive within 5 business days. Shipping is free worldwide on orders over $55.
What if they don't fit?
You have 30 days to request a return or exchange. Email support@hywellstore.com.
