FAQs
What material are the FALKE SK2 socks made from?
They are made from a blend of quick-drying functional material and insulating merino wool.
Are these socks suitable for all ski conditions?
These are intermediate ski socks, designed for good thermal insulation and moisture-wicking in typical ski conditions. For extreme cold or demanding performance, other models might be considered.
How do I ensure the best fit?
FALKE recommends choosing the smaller size if you are between sizes to achieve a crease-free fit that prevents pressure points.
Can I wear these socks for other sports?
While designed for skiing, their moisture-wicking and cushioning properties might make them comfortable for other cold-weather activities where ski boots are worn.
What is the benefit of the three-layer construction?
The three-layer construction ensures effective moisture management, optimal thermal insulation, and protection against friction and pressure points, keeping your feet dry and comfortable.
Are the materials used ethically sourced?
Yes, the wool used is mulesing-free.
How do I wash these ski socks?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F), do not bleach, do not tumble dry, and iron at a low temperature. Wash inside out with similar colors.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel cold despite wearing the socks
Ensure your ski boots are not too tight, as this can restrict circulation. Also, check that the socks are fully dry before wearing and that the boot liners are not damp.
Socks feel loose or wrinkled
Try a size smaller. FALKE recommends choosing the smaller size if you are between sizes for a crease-free fit.
Experiencing pressure points in boots
Verify the sock size and fit. Ensure the padding is correctly aligned with your boot's pressure points. Adjust boot buckles for a more even pressure distribution.
Socks are not drying quickly
Ensure proper washing and drying techniques. Avoid fabric softeners, which can impede moisture-wicking properties. Air dry away from direct heat.
