Let me start by saying, these FALKE socks are a game-changer for both runners and office-goers alike. The navy blue melange color is versatile enough to pair with my gray New Balances for a classic running look, but also sleek enough to wear with dress shoes. The height is slightly taller than I usually prefer, but I simply push them down a bit, and they stay put.

The plushness of the sole is where these socks truly shine. Whether I'm logging miles or sitting through back-to-back meetings, the cushioning provides all-day comfort. And yes, they’re durable—I’ve washed mine multiple times, and they still feel like new (though one reviewer mentioned threading issues, so maybe quality varies).

Now, let’s talk fit: snug but not restrictive. The 10.5-11.5 size fits my feet perfectly, offering support without squeezing. However, beware of the packaging confusion—some buyers expected multi-packs but received single pairs. Double-check the listing before clicking ‘buy’!

Are they pricey? Absolutely. But as one fan put it: 'If you haven’t bought FALKE, you haven’t bought real socks.' For me, the blend of performance and polish justifies the cost. Just skip the white if you’re rough on laundry—the navy hides stains like a champ.
