To use these socks, simply put them on like you would any other pair. They're designed to fit comfortably around your feet. For best results, make sure to align the anatomical design with your left or right foot. When it comes to maintenance, you can machine wash them in cold water. Avoid using bleach as it may damage the iWick fibers. Tumble dry on low to keep the socks in good shape. As for storage, keep them in a dry place. And remember, these socks are designed for long - term use, but over time, if you notice any signs of wear and tear, it might be time to replace them.
