[ DIAGNOSTIC ]
The prescription, explained.
- What is this?
- Tarsal Softwear is the SOME DOSE category for foot and ankle wearables — socks, ankle wraps, and foot coverings for the tarsal region. The tarsal zone is the furthest point from the cognitive centre, which means its sensory Itch is routinely under-diagnosed. Coarse sock fabric, synthetic fibres, and elastic cuffs at the ankle are among the most common chronic low-grade irritants.
- Who is it for?
- Prescribed for those who report discomfort with synthetic socks, elastic bands at the ankle, or seamed toe boxes. Also for those who are cold from the ground up — a thermally-misregulated pattern common in people who over-correct with heavy footwear rather than regulating at the sock layer.
- What does it cost?
- Tarsal specimens are priced from €30 to €95, EUR, VAT included. Made-to-order specimens ship within three to four weeks. In-stock specimens ship from Ireland within two business days.
- How does it work?
- Tarsal specimens are sized to EU foot length. Fiber content and knit density affect warmth and texture independently — both are listed per product. See the wool care protocol at /care/wool for Merino tarsal specimen washing instructions.
[ FAQ ]
Common questions.
- What is Tarsal Softwear?
- Tarsal Softwear is SOME DOSE's category for foot and ankle wearables. The tarsus is the cluster of seven bones forming the ankle and mid-foot. As the most distal major region of the lower limb, the tarsal zone is the last to receive prescriptive attention — yet coarse sock knit, nylon content, and elastic cuffs at this region are among the most common daily Itch triggers.
- What fiber is used in Tarsal specimens?
- Tarsal specimens use fine-gauge Merino wool (17–20 microns), organic cotton jersey, or cotton-linen blends depending on intended season and climate. Merino is the primary specification for temperature-regulation and itch-avoidance simultaneously. Nylon content is minimised or eliminated. Fiber content and knit density are listed per product.
- How should Tarsal specimens be cared for?
- Merino tarsal specimens follow the wool care protocol — machine wash wool cycle at 30°C or cold hand-wash, no tumble drying, dry flat or on a rack. Do not use biological detergent — enzymes attack protein fibers. Full procedure at /care/wool. Cotton tarsal specimens tolerate 40°C machine wash, inside out.
