1. Determine Your Foot Size

  • Use your regular shoe size as a reference. Kilt socks are typically sized according to UK, USA, and EUR standards, so check the above sizing chart for conversions.

2. Measure Your Sock Length

  • Use a tape measure to determine the length from your heel to just below your knee (as shown in the size chart’s “B” measurement). Kilt socks should sit comfortably below the kneecap without being too tight or too loose.

3. Choose the Correct Size

  • Refer to the size chart:
    • For UK sizes 5 ½ - 7 ½, choose Small.
    • For UK sizes 8 - 10, choose Medium.
    • For UK sizes 10 ½ - 12 ½, choose Large.
    • For UK sizes 13 - 14 ½, choose X-Large.
  • Ensure the approximate length (18-20 inches or 45-50 cm) matches your measurement for the best fit.

Additional Tips:

  • Always double-check your measurements if you're in between sizes. A snug fit is better for kilt socks to avoid slipping.
  • Wash socks before first use. Always follow care instructions (e.g., machine wash at 30°C wool cycle and air dry).

By measuring accurately, you’ll ensure your kilt socks complement your outfit perfectly while staying comfortable all day.
