When you want a hiking sock without wool

Falke Women's TK2 Explore Cool Short

A high-ankle hiking sock, shaped for left and right feet, with Falke’s medium-strong padding label and a 42% polypropylene blend.

Keep in mind: A quarter cuff stops around the ankle bone; check it clears the collar before you wear it in boots.

Bands follow this chart’s published ranges. 35-36: 2.5–3.5 · 37-38: 4–5 · 39-40: 5.5–6.5 · 41-42: 7–8 · 43-44: 8.5–9.5

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 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.

Darn Tough Women's Coolmax Hiker Micro Crew Midweight 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.
