Frequently Asked Questions
Answered by CEO - Mark Kent
1. I am a serious golfer. How many socks do I need?
I have a general rule of thumb. One pair of socks for every day of the week you play or practice. For example, if you play 3 days a week and
practice 3 days you will need 6 pairs of socks. Also, I like to have a fresh pair when I play each day in a tournament.
2. How long will my socks last?
This will depend on you. The World’s Best Golf Sock is like a great golf glove. The better you take care of it and the more frequently you
change them, the longer they will last. I have a pair for everyday of the week. I wore out my first pair after 12 months. I have some that are
still going strong. Professional golfers replace their socks more often (usually two or three times a year).
3. How do I pick out the right size?
KENTWOOL TOUR socks are designed to coordinate with your average shoe size. Our website and packaging offers a chart to show which size would
be best for your particular foot.
4. How do I best take care of my socks?
The simple answer is to follow the care instructions on the package. For those of us like me who do not read the care instructions on the
package, here we go. Wash them inside out for the best results under the normal wash cycle and place in the dryer accordingly. Boy, it is almost
man-proof! One big "no-no" is bleach. If you bleach these socks, you will be buying another pair soon. The super-fine merino wool does not like
bleach at all.
5. Can I bleach these socks?
This is a big "NO"! Depending on the concentration levels of your bleach, you will see a rapid to almost immediate degradation of your
sock. Bleach in its purest form will eat away and destroy the wool fiber. Use detergents without the word "bleach" on the label and you should
be fine.
6. My socks are pilling are they defective?
Do not panic. There is nothing wrong with your socks. Some of the super fine merino wool fibers are being released under pressure and are
forming little fuzzy balls on the surface of the sock at specific micro stress points on your feet. This particular action means the socks are doing
their job and protecting your feet as they have been designed.
7. I have smelly feet. Will these socks help?
The short and simple answer is YES!!! These socks are made with a majority of Super-Fine Windspun Merino Wool and a proprietary blend of carbon
based polymers. I have a sport active teenage boy. What a difference it made switching to the KENTWOOL TOUR sock. It is now possible for me to walk
into my den with him on the couch with his shoes off and breathe!
8. I have problem with blisters and other abrasions to my feet. Will these socks help?
Yes, Yes, Yes! They will definitely help. Nationwide golfer, Dustin Bray suffered with this problem since he was about 12 years old. After
switching to the KENTWOOL sock, his blistering issues went away for the first time in his life! These socks are designed to protect the foot from
abrasions and blisters with exceptional comfort.
9. Your socks are expensive. Why?
When we set out to make the World’s Best Golf Sock, we did just that. We did not set out to make the best golf sock that can sell for $9.95. We
have a collection of unique and proprietary fibers and yarn which are not found in the other golf socks on the market. The Super Fine Merino Windspun
Yarn developed at the KENTWOOL production facility is one highest performing yarns in the world! In short, we have a blend of the highest performing
materials which have an associated cost.
10. Can I wear this sock everyday?
Absolutely Yes! The KENTWOOL TOUR Sock was designed to reduce foot fatigue for people on their feet for 8 to 12 hours a day. We have a patent
pending integrated foot technology system which should leave your feet in the best possible shape regardless of how your day went on or off the course!
I wear The World’s Best Golf Sock everyday (Ok, I am hoping to sneak out to play golf everyday too). Some of our professional golfers are wearing them
seven days a week (on the course, in their cars, and on the airplane.)
11. Will this sock really save me a shot a round?
According to LPGA star Kristy McPherson, "A shot or two!" Realistically, the number will vary from player to player. For professionals, a shot a
round is what we have been repeatedly told. For the serious amateurs, you should see similar improvements as well. If you are wearing our socks and your
opponents are not, you will be the lucky person to have "The Unexpected Edge"!
12. Where can I buy your socks besides the Internet?
The only place to buy our socks will be on our web site. KENTWOOL will offer the Top 100 courses as rated by Golf World and Golf Digest to carry the
socks if they want. It will be up to the individual clubs to decide to carry them if they want. Members of these clubs may want to call their club
professional to inquire.
13. Why are you limiting your distribution?
I made a commitment to make the World Greatest Golf Sock. When you start selling to mass retail stores and outlets, they can cause you to dilute
your mission. While they may really want your product, they really want it for a price. For example, they really want the best Golf Sock for $9.95. Pretty
soon you start designing for price points and not for the reason you started in the first place – "to make the World’s Best Golf Sock"!
14. Does KENTWOOL TOUR offer any other products?
Researchers, designers, and engineers are currently working on other products to offer the serious golfer which would be proud to wear the badge of
"Best in Class" and the KENTWOOL TOUR label.
15. I have more questions. Can I talk to a real person?
Of course you can. KENTWOOL TOUR has a toll free customer service number (1-877-5PROSOX) you can use to contact a qualified staff member to answer any
particular question you may have. If the first person can not answer it, we will find someone who can.
