When you want padding underfoot in a boot-height cuff

Icebreaker Women's Merino Hike+ Medium Crew

Blend 58% merino wool, 40% nylon, 2% elastane

A crew hiking sock, shaped for left and right feet, with what Icebreaker calls medium cushion, a medium knit and a 58% merino wool blend.

Keep in mind: A crew cuff is more sock than a low trail shoe needs; it suits boots and cooler days.

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 cold gentle cycle. Do not bleach. Dry flat. Do not iron. Do not 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). Padding: “medium cushion” here, “medium-strong padding” there; check each brand’s size chart.

Falke Women's TK Compression Stabilizing 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.
