Ski Socks produced by HICON

Ski Socks Manufacturer For Snowsports Brands

Over-the-calf merino ski socks for adults and children with shin and footbed padding engineered for stiff boots.

The Brief

What This Category Has To Get Right

A ski sock has one job that a hiking sock does not: surviving eight hours inside a hard shell boot without bunching, rubbing the shin or cutting circulation at the calf. Our ski sock program covers adult and kids over-the-calf styles in merino blends, with terry padding placed at the shin and footbed where a boot actually presses.

Problems We Solve

What Goes Wrong Without A Specialist

  • Socks that bunch inside a stiff ski boot and create pressure points on the instep
  • Cuffs that sag mid-morning and let snow and cold reach the calf
  • Padding so thick the boot no longer fits, or so thin the shin bruises
  • Kids' socks that a child cannot get on or off without help

FAQ

FAQ About Ski Socks

How thick should a ski sock be?

Midweight. A ski sock has to add padding at the shin and footbed without changing the volume inside the boot. Our merino ski socks are knitted thick and cushioned in the padded zones and thin elsewhere so boot fit is unaffected.

What height do you knit ski socks to?

Over the calf, tall enough to sit above the boot cuff so the shell never contacts bare skin. The kids styles use the same over-the-calf logic scaled down.

Can you knit a ski sock in a recycled blend?

Our GRS 4.0 scope certificate covers socks and hosiery in recycled post-consumer polyester with elastane and nylon. A recycled ski sock is a development project, so send your target blend and we will confirm feasibility.

Do you handle the pattern and colour work?

Yes. The kids ski socks in our current range carry multi-colour jacquard patterns, and the adult styles use contrast panelling. Send artwork and we will convert it to a knittable pattern.
