When you want padding underfoot in a boot-height cuff

Falke Women's TK Compression Energy

A knee-length hiking sock, shaped for left and right feet, with Falke’s medium-strong padding label and a blend led by 40% polyamide, with 28% virgin wool.

Keep in mind: The tall cuff suits tall boots and gaiters; it is a lot of sock for a low shoe.

Cushion and weight labels are this brand’s own terms. They are not a shared thickness or temperature rating.

Check the size and the shoe together

Start with the women’s chart for this exact model. Use the brand size lookup 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 fibre (wool or alpaca). This changes from anatomical to waterproof. Check that the changed construction suits your footwear.

Bridgedale StormSock Midweight Knee 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.
