To keep foot fatigue and cold floor drafts from ruining your daily comfort, the Rototo Pile Stripe Marl Socks in Black/Beige feature a plush internal looped pile lining knitted from high grade cotton yarns. This breathable pair of Japanese crafted crew socks addresses the issue of moisture accumulation by utilizing a marled structure that pulls sweat away from the skin. Built with elasticated midfoot support, smooth hand linked toe seams, and a striped ribbed cuff, they deliver cushioned shock absorption and steady warmth whether worn inside sturdy boots or casual trainers.
