Wool sock size charts - find your right size
What is the size chart for wool socks?
The size chart for wool socks is a handy tool that helps you find the right size socks for your feet. Because Juuttisäkki wool socks are knitted by hand, their dimensions do not always follow shoe sizes exactly. The chart gives you a rough idea of what size sock is suitable for each foot length. This way you can avoid socks that are too tight or too loose – and your feet will stay happy.
