When you want a hiking sock without wool

A calf-length hiking sock, shaped for left and right feet, with Falke’s extra strong padding label and a 45% polypropylene blend.

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. They differ in cushion and blend; the cuff and size chart are the same.

What Falke says about it

“High protection hiking socks for alpine terrain, from single day hikes to multi-day backpacking adventures”

“Perfect fit – Body-mapped toe box specifically adapted to the respective left/right foot. The Female Fit contains a narrower fit specifically developed for women”

“Cooling vegan Lyocell-mix - perfect for the summer heat, as it rapidly transfers sweat and moisture away from your feet”

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 cycle at 40°C (104°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 are wool-free: neither lists any wool in its published blend. This changes from anatomical to conventional. Check that the changed construction suits your footwear.

Thorlo Women's Maximum Cushion 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.
