FAQs
Are these socks suitable for activities other than skiing?
While optimized for skiing, their thermal and moisture-wicking properties make them suitable for other cold-weather, high-exertion activities. However, their specific padding and fit are tailored for ski boots.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The socks are anatomically shaped for the left and right foot. If you find yourself between sizes, we recommend choosing the smaller size to ensure a snug, crease-free fit that prevents pressure points and slippage.
Can I use fabric softener with these socks?
No, it is not recommended to use fabric softener, as it can degrade the natural fibers of the merino wool and diminish its performance properties.
What does 'mulesing-free wool' mean?
Mulesing-free wool means the wool is sourced from sheep that have not undergone the mulesing procedure, an ethical practice in sheep farming.
How do I wash my FALKE SK2 Ski Socks?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry.
What is the benefit of the three-layer construction?
The three-layer construction is designed to effectively manage moisture by wicking sweat away from the foot to the outer layers, keeping the skin dry and helping to regulate temperature, thus preventing blisters and maintaining comfort.
How high do the socks come up on the leg?
The socks are designed to end over the edge of the ski boot, preventing uncomfortable pressure points and ensuring a smooth transition between the sock and the boot.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel too warm or too cold
Ensure the socks are the correct size and properly fitted. Adjust base layers if worn. For extreme cold, consider sock liners. For warmer conditions, ensure the socks are not too thick for the boots.
Socks feel loose or bunch up
Re-check the sizing, especially if you are between sizes; choose the smaller size as recommended. Ensure the socks are pulled up smoothly without wrinkles.
Irritation on toes or shins
Verify the sock is not inside out. Ensure the flat toe seam is positioned correctly. Check ski boot fit for any internal pressure points that might be exacerbated by the sock.
Reduced warmth over time
Follow the recommended washing instructions carefully to preserve the wool's insulating properties. Avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade wool fibers.
