FAQs
Are these socks suitable for activities other than skiing?
While designed specifically for skiing with features like shin padding and boot-top length, their warmth and moisture-wicking properties could make them suitable for other cold-weather activities where similar protection is needed.
What is the benefit of the three-layer construction?
The three-layer construction works together to efficiently wick moisture away from your skin to the outer layers, keeping your feet dry and preventing blisters. It also contributes to the thermal insulation.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The socks should fit snugly without being constrictive. They should not bunch up inside your boot. If you are between sizes, FALKE recommends choosing the smaller size for an optimal, crease-free fit.
Is the wool ethically sourced?
Yes, the wool used is mulesing-free, ensuring ethical and responsible sourcing practices.
Can I machine wash these socks?
Yes, they can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at 30°C. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing.
What makes the fit gender-specific?
Special knitting techniques are used to adapt the sock's structure to the anatomical differences between men's and women's feet, ensuring a better, more comfortable fit.
How durable are these socks?
The combination of durable wool and functional materials is designed to withstand the high demands of skiing, including frequent washing and wear.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight or bunch up
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If you were between sizes, try the next smaller size as recommended for a crease-free fit.
Feet feel cold despite wearing the socks
Verify that the socks are properly pulled up and that your ski boots are not too tight, which can restrict circulation. Ensure the socks are clean and free from debris that might impede insulation.
Socks are not drying quickly
Ensure the socks are thoroughly spun after washing. Hang them to air dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat.
Irritation or rubbing points
Check for any seams or padding that might be misaligned. Ensure the socks are worn correctly with the anatomically shaped foot for right and left. The soft toe seam is designed to prevent this, but ensure no external factors are causing friction.
