How to wash and care for your linen insoles

The whole point of a linen insole is that it lasts. Where a cotton sock is worn once and laundered, a pair of noSOCKSy insoles is built to be washed again and again, returning to shape each time.

Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Skip the bleach and the fabric softener — both coat the fibre and dull its natural absorbency.

Never tumble dry. Lay the insoles flat and let the linen breathe back into shape; they dry quickly, especially clipped to a line. Pop them back in once dry and they feel new again.

Cared for this way, one pair quietly replaces a drawer full of socks — better for your feet, and a much gentler footprint.
