Rototo Double Face Crew Socks

Utilising a specialised twin layer knit construction, the Rototo Double Face Crew Socks in Navy/Light Grey tackle the problem of cold feet and internal shoe friction during autumn and winter wear. These comfortable Japanese made crew socks combine a soft merino wool exterior for natural thermal regulation with an unbrushed organic cotton loops interior for plush underfoot cushioning. Constructed with flat hand linked toe seams and elasticated calf ribbing, they keep your feet dry, warm, and comfortable inside heavy boots or daily trainers.

Key Features

• Dual face knit design features a merino wool outer face and an organic cotton inner lining.
• Fine merino wool exterior regulates temperature and prevents odour buildup.
• Plush cotton loop interior absorbs moisture while providing soft underfoot shock absorption.
• Flat hand linked toe construction prevents seam pressure and friction hot spots.
• Flexible ribbed leg bands keep the socks raised securely without pinching the calf.
• Crafted in Japan using traditional specialty knitting machinery.

• Machine wash cold on a delicate wool setting using a gentle liquid detergent.
