Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. While designed to be unisex, individual fit preferences may vary. Try a different size if available, or consider the elastic fit may stretch slightly with wear.
Feet feel cold or damp.
Verify that the socks are worn correctly inside the boots and that the boots themselves are not overly restrictive. Ensure the socks are completely dry before wearing. For extreme cold, consider layering thinner liner socks if compatibility allows.
Socks show signs of premature wear.
Follow the recommended care instructions strictly, particularly avoiding high heat drying and harsh detergents. Ensure ski boots are free of sharp edges that could snag the fabric.
