I’ve owned just about every brand of premium socks you can think of and for the most part am happy to pay the premium price that usually accompanies them. This is especially true of the brands that offer hassle free lifetime warranties. Falke is not one of those brands. For socks at this price I expect some kind of warranty. Even Balega (garbage from my experience) and Bridgedale (also inferior quality) have some sort of warranty albiet different and at their discretion. So for these to not have any kind of confidence and backing of their product at this price is just inexcusable and should show that Falke themselves don’t have much faith in their durability. Mine are still fairly new but I can tell just after wearing a few times they will not last past a few months of regular wear if I’m lucky. The silicone bands that keep them from falling sliding is nice but all they consist of are very small elastic bands grouped together that are already starting to break just after a few times wearing. They are light and comfortable but the durability is a big issue and it’s just not worth paying this much for socks when other brands costs less, offer better quality, and will last considerably longer.
