Falke’s  BCool socks do way more than add a dash of pizzazz to your outfit – they’re made from moisture-wicking yarn that directs sweat away from the sole of the foot to the shoe’s outer, cooling you down. Even better, the yarn is eco-friendly, made from recycled fibres. That’s why they made it into our December 2022 Gear of the Year.

So what’s the fuss. A sock is a sock is a sock, right? Not really… we have had some nightmare sock journeys (don’t start a hot Old Mutual Wealth Double Century with silly ‘comfort’ socks that fry your feet sunny-side-up for nine hours!). The usual Falke goodness is present: arch support, breathable mesh panels, a seamless toe to prevent chafing, and an elasticated ankle that won’t slip down.

The Falke Cycling Sock Collection is made from recycled eco-friendly textile fibres, called BCool, whilst still maintaining the same premium quality of durability, comfort and fit that is expected from the Falke brand. The material used to produce BCool has been re-engineered from 2nd generation (or recycled) polymer sourced sustainably from reputable suppliers. Falke is committed to eco-friendly manufacturing processes, contributing to a greener, more sustainable environment.

Falke sports socks are light, breathable, offer moisture-wicking properties and are cushioned for comfort and support. Head over to falke.co.za to discover all the great new features and updates to these already-awesome socks.

In short, it’s the best R150 you’re likely to spend this summer! The only thing we might ask Falke for in future is a plain black or white option… but let’s leave sock-criticism to the UCI – Falke’s been doing this a lot longer than all of us!
