FAQs
What is the main benefit of the merino wool in these socks?
The high proportion of merino wool provides excellent natural insulation, keeping your feet warm in cold conditions, and it is also naturally odour-inhibiting and moisture-wicking.
How do I choose the right size?
FALKE recommends selecting the smaller size if you find yourself between two sizes to ensure a snug, crease-free fit that prevents pressure points.
Are these socks suitable for all types of skiers?
The SK2 model with medium padding is optimized for occasional skiers, offering a good balance of protection and comfort. For skiers requiring maximum cushioning, other models might be more suitable.
How should I wash these ski socks?
Machine wash cold (30°C) on a wool or delicate cycle. Avoid bleach, high heat drying, ironing, and fabric softener. Wash with similar colors.
Can I wear these socks for activities other than skiing?
While designed for skiing, their thermal and moisture-wicking properties make them suitable for other cold-weather activities. However, they may be warmer than necessary for non-skiing pursuits.
What does 'mulesing-free wool' mean?
Mulesing-free wool indicates that the wool is sourced from sheep that have not undergone the mulesing procedure, which is a practice sometimes used in wool production.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight or bunch up.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If you are between sizes, try the smaller size as recommended for a crease-free fit. Proper insertion into the ski boot without bunching is also key.
Feet feel cold despite the wool material.
Check that your ski boots are not too tight, as this can restrict circulation. Ensure the socks are properly pulled up and not folded. Verify that the moisture-wicking is functioning by checking for dampness inside the sock.
Socks lose elasticity after washing.
Avoid high heat when drying. Follow the recommended care instructions, specifically avoiding high temperatures and fabric softeners, which can degrade the material's performance.
