FAQs

Are these socks suitable for all types of skiing?

Yes, they are designed for all-mountain skiing, backcountry, and snowboarding, offering warmth, durability, and performance across various conditions.

How does the women's specific fit differ?

The women's specific fit means the socks are designed with a narrower heel and a slimmer overall profile to better accommodate a woman's foot and leg shape.

What is Indestructawool™ technology?

It's an advanced construction technique that enhances the durability of the socks in high-wear areas, making them more resistant to abrasion and extending their lifespan.

Can I wear these socks with non-ski boots?

While designed for ski boots, their cushioning and warmth might make them comfortable for other winter activities or very cold weather casual wear. However, their full benefits are realized within ski boots.

How often should I wash my ski socks?

It's generally recommended to wash ski socks after each use to maintain hygiene and prolong their life, following the specific care instructions provided.

Will these socks prevent my feet from getting sweaty?

The body-mapped mesh zones and Merino wool help wick away moisture and improve breathability, which aids in managing sweat and keeping your feet drier and more comfortable.

Troubleshooting

Socks slipping down inside the boot

Ensure the socks are pulled up fully and smoothly before putting on boots. Check that the wider welt is not folded over. The 4 Degree™ Elite Fit System is designed to prevent this, but proper initial placement is key.

Discomfort or irritation at the toe area

Verify that the socks are the correct size. The Virtually Seamless™ toe construction aims to eliminate this, but ensure no seams are bunched up. Try re-adjusting the sock's position.

Socks feel too warm

While designed for cold conditions, Merino wool can be warm. Ensure the body-mapped mesh zones are exposed to air where possible and consider if these socks are appropriate for the specific temperature and activity level. They are optimized for skiing.

Pilling or reduced elasticity after washing

Follow the care instructions precisely, particularly regarding wash temperature, cycle, and drying method. Avoid harsh detergents and excessive heat, which can damage the wool fibers.
