Do these shrink a lot when you wash them? Should I buy up a size to account for this?

They look like they shrink when they come out of the dryer, but they stretch right back out and fit ok.

I haven't had them shrink for me. I do wash with hot water, rinse with cold, and tumble dry most of the time. These haven't lost their shape, distorted the embroidery design or shrunk away from the fabric borders I've added.

Mine did not shrink even after a couple washes. I think I even ran it through the dryer but don't remember for sure.

Yes, they wash and dry nicely. I used a regular temp that I do with all my clothes. No shrinkage.

I purchased a medium, waist 30-32, even though I am only 5'8". I was unsure if they would shrink after awhile. I only wore them three times because spring arrived, but I made the right choice in going up one size larger. If I was you I would try one size up because of your height.

I wear a size 4 and the small was perfect. I don't think they run small...more true to the size. Good luck, wish I could help you more. They washed beautifully and there was no shrinkage.

I haven't noticed any shrinking. My dog wears these on a weekly basis, due to her incontinence. I was them every week on hot with all the dog bedding and have not noticed any shrinking.

No they do not shrink. I generally dry them on a drying rack in the garage (I live in Florida, so it's like a dryer). They definitely are not plush, and almost feel rubbery. They are a little space age(y). More info than you asked for~

For me they're kinda like jeans: they shrink a bit in the wash but stretch back out after wearing them for a few minutes. No permanent shrinkage. I machine wash cold and line dry.

I ordered the large, and after many uses and washes they have shrunk a little but still work well for us. it's more like 13×5 now. I also have noticed after washing and drying in a dryer, 1. They take much longer to dry but I have to pull them a bit and straighten them out, which is something Ive never had to do for microfiber inserts

I really like these socks, but they tend to shrink on me after a few washings. Not terrible, still comfortable but I noticed the shrinkage. I also wear 13 wide and bought the large. In the future I think that I will go up a size to xl. I think that this would be a good fit for you.

At least a large because they will shrink in wash and dryer.i am a size 12 in men's and I get XL. Hope this helps.

I wash in hot water (no bleach, just Tide) and dry thoroughly and have not had any noticeable shrinkage. GREAT stain release! These are not designer kitchen towels, they're the WORKHORSE of commercial kitchens and should be he same in yours.

I bought a xxl and usually worry about shrinkage, I've washed and dryed the sweater many times and it has not shrunk one bit. Hope this helps

I've had mine for a quite a long time now and I would say you don't need to wash them, but I have thrown them in washer or dryer from time to time and they have not shrunk for me. You could hand wash them as well to avoid them from shrinking and just let them dry out.

Bought these for my boyfriend. I've washed them a few times now, but never dry them and haven't had any problems with them shrinking.

Very true to size. I have had mine a couple of years and after many washes there is no shrinkage.
