When NOT to Use Them

Sizes and Fit
Available in standard men's EU sizes. Regular fit with a high cut that wraps around and supports the ankle. We recommend choosing your usual size. For those who prefer to wear thick technical ski socks, consider half a size up for optimal comfort.
Care and Maintenance
Clean with a damp cloth after each use, removing snow and salt. Dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources (radiators, stoves). Do not machine wash. Periodically treat with waterproofing spray to maintain water resistance. Store in a dry and ventilated place.
