3 Reasons the Sacrificial Sock Is the Only Kit in the Bag With No Maintenance Standard

3 Reasons the Sacrificial Sock Is the Only Kit in the Bag With No Maintenance Standard

Shoes get retired at a mileage. Base layers get washed without conditioner. And one category deliberately destroys a good garment every night.

Every other part of your kit has a maintenance protocol. Shoes get rotated and retired at a mileage. Base layers get washed without conditioner. The watch gets charged on Saturday night.

And then there is the one category where the accepted protocol is to destroy a good sock every night and keep the wreckage in a separate part of the drawer.

Kit, with a maintenance protocol

Two easy weeks. If it has done nothing, keep all of it and we refund you. Overnight kit, not for running in.

1. Nothing gets ruined

The Day Sock washes at 40 in the mesh bag, like the rest of your kit.

The sacrificial drawer

2. Nothing on a hotel duvet

The night before a race is not the night to explain that.

Greasy merino heel, macro

3. A stated working life

Three to six months, printed. Month nine is a reorder, not a complaint.
