How do socks become test winners?
Since the production of the first sock in 1999, our socks have been systematically and regularly tested for fabric and thread. Thanks to this quality control, our socks have become test winners.
Due to their high cotton content, our Calf socks Classic have been a popular test object since the beginning. Not only we test our socks regularly, but also Kassensturz and K-Tipp. Find out more about our test winner and the test results of recent years.
