Ensuring a correct fit is paramount when it comes to Snowboard Socks and Ski Socks. A sock that is too small can feel tight, restrictive and uncomfortable whilst a sock that is too large can bunch up, pinch and cause painful pressure points. If you have chosen an ergonomic sock it is important to get the correct size to ensure the built in support is in the correct area of your foot. Cheaper socks are often a 'One Size Fits All' size or have a size range which covers several foot sizes.

More expensive socks usually have more focused size ranges, often covering a whole and half size only before moving up to the next size in the range. The easiest way to choose the correct size is to go off of your normal every day foot size. If you are on a size boundary it can be more difficult to choose the right size. We would recommend going for the smaller size if you want a tighter more performance oriented fit, or moving up to the bigger size if you want a looser, more comfort oriented fit.

It is important when wearing ski or snowboard socks to only wear one pair. Wearing two pairs of socks can be bad for your feet and is more likely to give you blisters and uncomfortable pinch points, as well as causing you to waste energy when flexing in your boots. If you wear two pairs of socks because you get cold feet it is much better to invest in a better quality ski or snowboard sock. If you wear two pairs to make your boots fit you then it is much better to invest in correctly fitting boots, or at the very least in a volume reducing insole.
