FAQs

Are these socks suitable for snowboarding?

While designed for skiing, the FALKE SK2 Ski Socks can also be suitable for snowboarding due to their warmth, moisture-wicking properties, and padding. However, snowboard boot fit can differ, so ensure they work well with your specific boots.

What is the primary material used in these socks?

These socks are made from a blend of quick-drying functional material and insulating merino wool.

How do I ensure I get the right fit?

The socks feature an anatomical left and right fit. Select your standard shoe size, and ensure the sock fits snugly without being overly tight, with no bunching in the heel or toe.

Can I wear these socks for other winter activities like hiking?

While the thermal and moisture-wicking properties are beneficial, the specific padding and height are optimized for ski boots. For general winter hiking, a dedicated hiking sock might offer better ankle support and cushioning for hiking boots.

How does the three-layer construction work?

The construction is designed to move moisture away from your skin (layer 1), absorb and distribute it (layer 2), and then allow it to evaporate, keeping your feet dry and comfortable.

What does 'mulesing-free wool' mean?

Mulesing-free wool means the wool comes from sheep that have not undergone the mulesing procedure, an animal welfare practice.

How durable are these socks?

The socks are made from durable and resistant materials designed to withstand frequent washing and wear, making them ideal for active use in skiing.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel cold despite wearing the socks

Ensure socks are the correct size and not too tight, which can restrict circulation. Verify ski boots are not overly tight. Check for any damage to the sock's insulating layers.

Socks feel too warm indoors or during light activity

These socks are designed for cold weather and high exertion. For less demanding activities or warmer environments, consider a lighter weight sock. Ensure proper ventilation of ski boots when not in use.

Experiencing rubbing or pressure points

Confirm you have the left and right sock on the correct feet, as they are anatomically shaped. Ensure ski boot fit is also appropriate. Check that the sock cuff is not rolled down inside the boot.

Socks lose shape after washing

Follow the care instructions precisely, especially regarding washing temperature and avoiding tumble drying. Air drying flat or hanging is recommended.
