FALKE Ultralight Hidden
Key features : Ultralight construction , low cuff , Drynamix moisturemanagement , deep heel pocket , arch support , mesh ventilation panels , seamless toes , heel tab , ergonomic fit , light heel & toe cushioning
Wear-testing notes : Some runners prefer a much thinner , lighter sock , for as natural ( barefoot ) and cool a feel as they can get in a sock , while still having something between their skin and the shoe . If that is you , this is the sock for you . Also , the hidden design means they are only just visible outside of your shoes , except for the padded heel tab that ensures they stay in place while providing the Achilles with some TLC .
Sizes Available : 12½-3½ , 4-7 , 8-12 Colours : Black / Grey , White / Grey / Black , Royal blue / Ink , White / Pink / Lilac
Recommended Retail Price : R75

Key features : Three-zone light compression , strategic cushioning , Drynamix fibre , arch support , mesh ventilation panels , seamless toes , ergonomic fit
