FAQs

What is the main benefit of the high merino wool content?

The high merino wool content provides exceptional thermal insulation, keeping your feet warm even in very cold temperatures, and also offers natural moisture-wicking properties.

Are these socks suitable for advanced skiers?

The SK2 Wool is an all-round ski sock with medium padding, ideal for occasional and recreational skiers. Advanced or professional skiers seeking highly specific features or maximum cushioning might prefer specialized models.

How do I ensure I get the right fit?

The socks are anatomically cut for the right and left foot. Ensure you are wearing them on the correct foot to achieve the optimal fit and prevent discomfort.

Can I wear these socks in spring skiing conditions?

Yes, the moisture-wicking and humidity regulation features help manage sweat and keep feet comfortable even in warmer spring conditions, though the primary insulation is optimized for cold.

How thick is the padding on the sole and shin?

The padding is described as medium thickness, providing a good balance of protection and direct feel with the ski boot. It's not considered extra-thick or minimal.

What is the expected lifespan of these socks?

With proper care, following the recommended washing and drying instructions, these socks are designed for durability and should last for multiple ski seasons.

What is the composition of the sock?

The sock is composed of 75% virgin wool and 25% polyamide.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel damp after skiing

Ensure socks are fully dried before wearing. Check if ski boot liners are also dry. The three-layer structure is designed for moisture wicking, but excessive moisture from external sources or prolonged high exertion can still occur.

Discomfort or pressure points inside the boot

Verify the sock fit is correct (left/right specific). Ensure ski boots are properly fitted and adjusted. The medium padding offers balanced support; if you require more cushioning, consider a sock with thicker padding.

Socks shrinking after washing

Always follow the care instructions. Wash on a cold, gentle cycle and air dry. Avoid high heat during washing or drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These socks require no special setup; simply wear them as you would any other ski sock.

Compatibility: The Falke SK2 Wool ski sock is designed to be compatible with most standard ski boots. Its medium padding and knee-high cut ensure a good fit within the boot liner without creating excessive bulk.

Care: To maintain the integrity and performance of the wool fibers:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) using a wool-specific detergent.
  2. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to air dry away from direct heat sources.
  3. Bleaching/Ironing: Avoid bleach and ironing, as these can damage the wool fibers.
  4. Dry Cleaning: Not recommended.
