Falke socks prevents blisters on your feet
During this Christmas day, I have joy to bring to runners who experience blisters. Today, I have discovered Falke Socks! The socks that amazingly allows you to run (or play any sport) without your feet suffering from blisters.
I have suffered from blisters all my life, and I have always thought that it was the shoe. No matter what I wore after a lengthy run of over 8kms, I would gradually develop blisters. Not so bad at first, however increasingly painful as the blister grows until it pops and I use an assortment of bandaids and disinfectant to patch up. I then run through the pain barrier (feeling tough but crying on the inside).
Today on Christmas day, my cousin gave me a pair of Falke’s. He bought them from the City to Surf Expo at their Australian launch, and was kind enough to think of Christmas presents for me. (Why couldn’t you have given them to me earlier cuz?!)
What makes Falke Socks special?
Falke socks are widely popular around the world. Designed in Germany and produced South Africa, these socks are the go to socks for runners that experience blisters. Made from the best quality merino wool, these are arguably the best merino wool socks available on the market.
The design is specifically for runners which truly provides enhanced comfort, leading to better performance.

Falke Socks Review
I rip off the Christmas wrapping and slip the Falke socks on. In texture, the socks feel smoother that my normal cotton / polyester sock (or am I just imagining?) They fit snuggly around my feet. Feeling good, I put on my ASIC runners, and begin a slow easy run in the coolness of the early hours of Christmas day. Light rain had fallen overnight – giving reprieve to the firefighters I hope, since it has been a terrible bush fire season for this Australian summer.
It’s hard to describe, but there is a noticeable difference when running with Falke socks. Unlike other socks, there’s less “friction” around the feet. Not only around the toes, where I usually experience blistering, but the entire foot. As I get past the first few kilometres, I begin to quicken to reach my steady 5min/km pace. I couldn’t believe it. This is what blister free running is all about. There was no discomfort, nothing, zilch, zero! Even as I ran to complete the last of my seven kilometre run, I was blister free!
Thank you Falke! (and my cousin for the Christmas Gift)
