Then why does the web site say:

Product Care

Avoid putting socks in dryer

Machine Wash in 40 °C / 104 °F

Do Not Bleach, Do Not Tumble Dry

That is a general precaution given with socks. All socks will last longer if you keep them out of the dryer. And, this is true for many other materials like denim, Cashmere, bathing suits, tights etc.

Also, haven't you heard about the phenomenon of dryers eating up socks? ;)
