How do you recommend washing these socks? Realistically I'd need something I can toss in the reg. wash and air dry.

Most definately. I wash them and put the in the dryer. Just buy a big size because they definately shrink. I thought mine were too big when I first got them but now they just about fit. I'm with you if I can't throw them in the washer and dryer I don't want them

I wash in the sink and let air dry. I don't think I'd put them in the dishwasher....

Haven't needed to yet but I would just wash them in the sink and lay them out on a sheet to dry. If you are wanting to sanitize them you could wash in the sink then rinse in a bleach-water solution before drying.

What are they smelling of? Before wearing them I let them air out overnight outside - and it gets rid of the plastic smell. Once I've worn them I just throw them in the washer and air dry them. I've never had a problem with them retaining odors. Sorry!

As noted in other answers... these socks do seem fairly quick to dry, but local conditions (high humidity due to weather) could determine whether the socks would dry completely overnight. Taking two pair to rotate is a good suggestion... also taking a small microfiber towel to roll the socks in (roll & squeeze socks after washing/rinsing to wick excess water from the socks) before setting out to dry would be a good idea. The Silver Drystat in the blend will retard odor as well as speed up the drying. If necessary the socks could be worn 2 days between washings easily without any fear of odor unless feet are prone to being very sweaty, or a person is engaged in athletic activities.

i wash my best friend socks in the washing machine using cold water. after the wash is done i search for my 'best friends' and hang them up to dry. i have a long narrow foot and need every bit of length knit into my socks - so i take precautions. good luck with your new 'friends'.

I wash them in the machine, under "sterilization." It works well. I do NOT dry them. I let them air-dry.

Just wash them. I believe you hang dry them. So far have kept them pretty clean.

I have washed them, but I have not put them in the dryer. I prefer to air dry, but if you do I suggest you use the low setting to protect from shrinkage.

I actually did put them in the washer and they were fine. Do NOT put them in the dryer. Or you make soak them in warm water with fabric detergent. Rinse well and Air dry.

We recommend that you hang them up with the loop hook on the back of the shoe slipper and let the mud/dirt dry out. Once they are dry shake them out like a rug. This usually works better than washing them.

Wash them by hand and hang them up to dry. The packaging has instructions also.

I have not washed mine yet. I was thinking that when the time came I probably would take it to the dry cleaners. I haven't read the Manufacturers Care Instructions. Sorry.

I would not put them in the washing machine. I simply rinse and hand squeeze them out under warm water and lay them on a paper towel to dry overnight. They actually dry long before that and are ready to go.

I just fold them and put them in a large zip-lock bag if I can't do a load of wash. most of the time just washing them in the tub will do the trick.

okay whoops...I washed mine. Honestly (and luckily) they came out fine. Not sure what damage I've done now...but they still like new.

I have 4 pair of Darn Tough Socks and I wear them every day of the week which means they get washed and dried in a dryer more than once per week. They come out looking and feeling great. I am getting ready to buy several more pairs so I don't have to wash them so often.
