FAQs

Are these socks suitable for everyday wear?

While excellent for cold weather and outdoor activities, their substantial thickness might be too warm for everyday indoor wear in moderate climates. They are best suited for colder days or when extra warmth is needed.

How do I know which size to choose?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by RoToTo or the retailer. Generally, they follow standard sock sizing. The 'L' size is designed for adult feet within a specific measurement range.

Can I wear these with regular sneakers?

You can, but they fit best in larger or looser-fitting footwear like boots or casual sneakers. They might feel snug or compressed in very tight-fitting athletic shoes.

How does the merino wool benefit the sock?

Merino wool provides natural insulation, is breathable, wicks moisture away from the skin, and offers excellent odor resistance, keeping your feet comfortable and fresh.

What is the 'double face' construction?

It's a knitting technique where two separate layers of fabric are knitted simultaneously and connected, creating a thicker, warmer material, often with a different texture or pile on the inside, like the fleece lining in these socks.

What is the expected lifespan of these socks?

Made with high-quality materials and craftsmanship, these socks are designed for durability. With proper care, they can last for several seasons of regular cold-weather use.

Is the 'White' color prone to staining?

As with any white garment, the white color can be prone to staining from dirt or other substances. It's important to wash them promptly if they get dirty and follow the care instructions to maintain their appearance.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight or too loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the size guide if available. The ribbed cuffs are designed to hold, but if they feel excessively tight, consider if the size is incorrect. If too loose, they may have stretched or are the wrong size.

Reduced warmth or cushioning after washing.

Check that you have followed the care instructions precisely. Avoid harsh detergents, high heat drying, or bleach, as these can damage the wool and cotton fibers, diminishing their insulating properties.

Pilling or fuzziness on the surface.

Some pilling is normal with natural fiber blends like cotton and wool, especially with initial wears and washes. This can be managed by washing inside out and air drying. Avoid excessive rubbing against rough surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These socks are ready to wear straight out of the package. No setup is required.

Compatibility: The RoToTo Double Face Sock is designed for adult wear and is compatible with most standard footwear, including boots and sturdy shoes. Due to its thickness, it may be less compatible with very slim-fitting shoes or tight athletic footwear. Available in multiple sizes, including L, ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and comfort.

Care Instructions:

  • Machine wash cold with similar colors.
  • Use a mild detergent.
  • Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as they can degrade the natural fibers and affect the sock's performance.
  • Tumble dry on low heat or air dry for best results to maintain shape and material integrity.
  • Do not iron.
