FALKE Knee-High Socks - White - Cotton/Wool

These socks feature a blend of merino wool and cotton. The merino wool provides superior warmth, breathability, moisture-wicking, and odor-inhibiting properties, while the cotton ensures a soft, skin-friendly feel on the inside.

Yes, the socks are designed with skin-friendly cotton on the inside and have a flat toe seam to prevent blisters. They are also OEKO-TEX certified, ensuring they are tested for harmful substances. However, individual sensitivities can vary.

The socks use gender-specific knitting techniques for a slip-free and wrinkle-free fit. Ensure you select the correct size according to the FALKE sizing chart for optimal performance and comfort.

Merino wool is excellent for temperature regulation, meaning it can keep you cool in warmer weather by wicking away moisture. While breathable, they might feel warmer than thin, purely cotton socks in very hot climates.

It's best to wash them after each wear to maintain hygiene and the fabric's properties. Follow the specific care instructions provided to preserve the wool and cotton blend.

This refers to areas of the sock, typically the heel and toe, that are knitted with extra material or tighter stitches to increase durability and provide cushioning where the sock experiences the most wear and pressure.

With proper care, the reinforced stress zones and high-quality material blend contribute to good durability. Following the recommended washing and drying instructions will help maximize their lifespan.

Ensure you are washing them according to care instructions. The inner cotton layer should prevent scratching; if irritation persists, the socks may not be suitable for your specific skin sensitivity.

Avoid tumble drying. Reshape the socks while damp and lay them flat to dry. Use a wool-specific detergent and a gentle wash cycle.

Some pilling can occur with natural fibers like wool over time. Gentle washing and avoiding harsh friction can minimize this. A fabric shaver can be used cautiously if needed.

While designed for temperature regulation, if you are in very hot conditions, the merino wool might retain more heat than expected. For extremely warm weather, consider lighter cotton-only socks.
