FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the medium cushioning?
The medium cushioning is strategically placed on the leg and foot to provide optimal comfort, absorb impact, and protect against pressure points from ski boots, enhancing control.
What materials are these socks made from?
They are made from an efficient three-layer blend of polypropylene, acrylic, wool (including merino wool), and polyamide.
Are these socks suitable for professional skiers?
The SK2 model is designed as an all-rounder for recreational skiers, offering a good balance of comfort and performance. Professional skiers may require socks with different specifications for advanced demands.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Select your usual shoe size and ensure the sock is pulled up smoothly without any wrinkles inside your ski boot. The anatomical left/right fit should conform naturally to your foot's shape.
Can I wash these socks in a machine?
Yes, you can machine wash them on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and do not tumble dry.
What does 'anatomical left/right fit' mean?
It means the socks are shaped specifically for the left and right foot, mirroring their natural contours to provide a more precise, comfortable, and secure fit, preventing slippage and bunching.
Is the wool used in these socks ethically sourced?
Yes, the product information states that mulesing-free wool is used, indicating a commitment to ethical sourcing.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check that the socks are not inside out and are pulled up smoothly without bunching.
Feet feel cold
Verify that the socks are the correct fit for your boots and that no part is compressed, restricting circulation. Ensure they are clean, as residues can affect insulation.
Moisture remains on the skin
Ensure the socks are not worn with cotton base layers, which retain moisture. Make sure the socks are fully dry before wearing and have not been treated with fabric softener.
Seams cause irritation
Check that the socks are put on correctly and that the seams are lying flat against the skin. If irritation persists, consider an alternative sock model.
