FAQs

What material are the FALKE SK2 Ski Socks made of?

They are made from a warm, breathable merino wool blend, designed for high thermal insulation.

How do these socks prevent blisters?

The triple-layer structure combined with the anatomical fit helps to reduce friction and manage moisture, which are key factors in preventing blisters.

What is the best way to wash these socks?

They should be washed in a machine on a wool program. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing. Air drying is recommended.

Are these socks suitable for both men and women?

The product description specifically mentions men's socks, with gender-specific knitting processes. However, similar models might be available for women.

How do I ensure the perfect fit?

FALKE recommends choosing the smaller size if you are between sizes to guarantee a wrinkle-free fit and high wearing comfort within your ski boot.

What sizes are available?

They are available in various sizes, including 39-41 (UK 5.5-7.5), 42-43 (UK 8-9), 44-45 (UK 9.5-10.5), 46-48 (UK 11-12.5), and 49-50 (UK 13-14).

What does the padding in the socks offer?

The medium-volume padding is located in the calf, shin, and ankle areas to provide protection and ensure good contact and support within the ski boot.

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 snug, wrinkle-free fit.

Feet still feel cold

Verify that your ski boots are not too tight, which can restrict circulation. Ensure socks are dry before wearing.

Pilling or loss of shape after washing

Follow the care instructions strictly, especially the wool program wash. Avoid harsh detergents and high spin speeds. Air dry flat.

Moisture not being wicked effectively

Ensure the socks are not saturated with sweat due to extreme exertion or very warm conditions. Check that the outer layers of your clothing are also managing moisture correctly.
