Rototo Double Face Crew Socks

To keep feet warm and protected against footwear chafing during cold autumn and winter days, the Rototo Double Face Crew Socks in Red/Grey feature a specialised twin face knit construction. Crafted in Japan using traditional hosiery techniques, these plush crew socks combine a soft merino wool exterior for temperature regulation with an unbrushed organic cotton loops interior that cushions your stride. Designed with flat hand linked toe seams and elasticated leg ribbing, they solve the problem of cold toes and internal shoe friction without bulk or skin irritation.
