Two socks, not a pair

Spezielle geschlechtsspezifische Strickverfahren, die auf die anatomischen Unterschiede Ihres rechten und linken Fußes abgestimmt sind.

A left sock and a right sock, knitted differently.

Two hundred and fifty product pages on this site and one of them distinguishes the two feet.

The sizing advice

Für faltenfreien Sitz empfehlen wir bei Zwischengrößen die kleinere Größe.

Between sizes, take the smaller. Nothing else on this shelf offers any sizing guidance at all, and this one runs against the instinct to size up for comfort — because comfort in a rigid shell means no folds.

The construction

  • Three layers, moisture-moving
  • Merino for insulation, fast-drying functional fibre alongside it
  • Medium padding, with specific pads at the shin and the ankle
  • Ends above the boot cuff, so the shell edge never meets skin

The figures it withholds

The merino percentage. Five socks on this shelf give a figure; the one that describes its construction in most detail gives none.

The wool

Mulesingfreie Wolle. An animal-welfare statement, unique on this shelf.

The price across six stores

23.02 in Italy. 24.35 in Spain. 24.69 in Germany. 33.95 in Britain. 34.00 in the United States. 35.00 in France.

Availability

One check, 23 € at the bottom and 35 € at the top, across the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon shops.

Outside the euro, the American and British Amazon shops sell it in their own currencies, and the range above is kept clear of that.
