Can crew socks be washed and dried on high heat?

Generally speaking, high-temperature washing and drying may cause damage to socks made of certain materials, especially those containing synthetic fibers (such as nylon, polyester fibers) or elastic fibers (such as Lycra). These materials may shrink, deform, or lose their elasticity at high temperatures, which can affect the comfort and lifespan of socks.
For crew socks, their material and craftsmanship often have high requirements. Some high-quality crew socks may use special materials and techniques to ensure good wear resistance, breathability, and comfort. However, this does not mean that all crew socks are suitable for high-temperature washing and drying.
Therefore, before deciding whether to perform high-temperature washing and drying on crew socks, it is recommended to first check the washing label on the socks or consult the manufacturer's advice. Washing labels usually clearly indicate the washing temperature, drying method, and whether bleach or fabric softener can be used for socks. If the washing label does not clearly indicate or the manufacturer does not provide specific recommendations, it is recommended to use a milder washing and drying method to avoid unnecessary damage to the socks.
Specifically, for most crew socks, warm water (usually not exceeding 40 ° C) can be chosen for washing, and strong detergents or bleaching agents should be avoided. In terms of drying, one can choose to air dry naturally or use a low-temperature dryer for drying. This can ensure the cleanliness of the socks and avoid damage to them.
In short, whether crew socks can be washed and dried at high temperatures depends on the material of the socks and the manufacturer's recommendations. In uncertain situations, it is recommended to use milder washing and drying methods to ensure the longevity and comfort of socks.
