FALKE Trail Run Key features: Strategic cushioning, Drynamix moisture-management, trail cuff, reinforced heel and toe, hand-linked toe seam, mesh ventilation panels Wear-testing notes: You can take a run on the wild side with this sock, thanks to its extra cushioning in all the right places, specially designed for rougher, rockier terrain. This is especially noticeable in the sole, with its full-length thick cushioning from Achilles to toe, plus reinforced toe and heel sections for both durability and fit. The slightly longer cuff also protects against sand getting into your socks and rubbing your feet up the wrong way. Sizes Available: 4-7, 8-12 Colours: Black/Grey, Neon Lime/Black, Grey/Perriwinkle, Grey/Lake Blue Recommended Retail Price: R85 FALKE Hidden Trail Run Key features: Strategic cushioning, Drynamix moisture-management, heel tab, reinforced heel and toe, handlinked toe seam, mesh ventilation panels Wear-testing notes: Again, this is simply a shorter version of the Trail Run model, with the cuff cut down to create a hidden sock model, and a thicker heel tab added to prevent slipping into the shoe and protection of the Achilles from any potential rubbing by the heel counter of the shoe. Otherwise it is the same sock, providing extra cushioning and comfort for rougher terrain, and durability for the long run. Sizes Available: 4-7, 8-12 Colours: Black/Grey, Neon Lime/Black, Grey/Perriwinkle, Grey/Lake Blue Recommended Retail Price: R75 FALKE Vitalizer Calf Sleeves Key features: Three-zone light compression, Drynamix moisture-management, front and back mesh ventilation panels, seamless toes, ergonomic fit Wear-testing notes: Similar to the Vitalizer compression sock, but without the foot section, hence it is called a calf sleeve. It provides three compression zones that promote circulation both during and after a run, thus boosting performance, reducing fatigue and aiding in recovery. The bonus of sleeves over socks is that your feet are still free to move as normal, without constrictive compression, but your calves get all the benefits of the compression. Sizes Available: S-M, L-XL Colours: Black, White, Pink, Neon Lime Recommended Retail Price: R160 49
