When you want light padding in a taller cuff

A calf-length hiking sock, shaped for left and right feet, with Falke’s light padding label and a 38% virgin wool blend.

Keep in mind: A crew cuff is more sock than a low trail shoe needs; it suits boots and cooler days.

Closest in Falke’s range: the Men's TK5 Wander Invisible. They differ in cuff and blend; the cushion and size chart are the same.

US men’s

Bands follow this chart’s published ranges. 39-41: 6.5–8.5 · 42-43: 9–10 · 44-45: 10.5–11.5 · 46-48: 12–13.5 · 49-50: 14–15

Check the size and the shoe together

Start with the men’s / unisex chart for this exact model. Use the size lookup or the whole Falke size chart to find the published range, then check the heel position, toe room and cuff in your footwear.

The maker does not give a heel-to-cuff measurement. Try the socks with your boots to see whether the cuff sits above the collar. See how sock heights differ.

Try the selected size with the shoes and insoles you plan to use. Added cushioning should not crowd the toes or distort the heel position. The footwear-fit checklist explains what to check.

Care for the exact pair

Machine wash on a gentle, delicate or wool cycle at 30°C (86°F). Do not bleach, tumble dry, iron or dry clean.

Use the care lookup for this model’s wash and dry directions. A general wool routine should not override instructions for a membrane, a two-layer construction or a specific treatment.

Another sock to compare

Both constructions contain animal fiber (wool or alpaca). Padding: “light padding” here, “light cushion” there; check each brand’s size chart.

Icebreaker Men's Merino Hike+ Light Crew uses its own size chart. Compare the two socks to see where their height, material, cushioning and care differ. Matching specs don’t mean they will feel the same in your shoes.
