When your boots have room for full cushioning

A calf-length hiking sock, shaped for left and right feet, with Falke’s extra strong padding label and a blend led by 42% polypropylene, with 20% wool.

Keep in mind: Full cushioning adds fabric around the foot. If your boots already feel snug, a lighter sock may fit better.

Closest in Falke’s range: the Women's TK1 Adventure Wool. They differ in blend; the cuff, cushion and size chart are the same.

US women’s

Bands follow this chart’s published ranges. 35-36: 5–6 · 37-38: 6.5–7.5 · 39-40: 8–9 · 41-42: 9.5–10.5 · 43-44: 11–12

Check the size and the shoe together

Start with the women’s 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: “extra strong padding” here, “extra cushion” there; check each brand’s size chart.

Icebreaker Women's Merino Hike+ Heavy 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.
