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: “medium-strong padding” here, “targeted cushion” there; check each brand’s size chart.
Icebreaker Women's Merino Hike+ Ultralight 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.
