FAQs

Are these socks suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, the double face construction with fleece pile lining is specifically designed for excellent warmth in cold conditions.

Can I wear these socks with dress shoes?

While they offer warmth, the chunky knit might be too thick for most formal dress shoes. They are best suited for casual footwear like boots and sneakers.

How do I know if I'm getting the right size?

Refer to standard sock sizing charts. These socks are designed for adults and generally correspond to typical shoe sizes. Check product details for specific sizing recommendations.

Why do they use a blend of materials?

The blend of organic cotton (softness, breathability), merino wool (warmth, moisture-wicking, odor resistance), polyester (durability), and polyurethane (stretch) is chosen to maximize comfort, performance, and longevity.

Are these socks machine washable?

Yes, they are machine washable on a cold, gentle cycle. However, air drying is recommended to preserve the material integrity and prevent shrinkage.

What does 'slubby' mean in the material description?

Slubby refers to a yarn that has thicker, uneven sections. This gives the fabric a unique texture and visual character.

Where are these socks made?

These socks are proudly made in Japan by RoToTo, known for their commitment to quality and traditional manufacturing techniques.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you are wearing the correct size. If they still feel tight, try stretching them gently after washing or consider a different style if you prefer a thinner sock.

Pilling or fuzziness on the surface

Some pilling is natural with wool and cotton blends, especially with initial wears. Turn socks inside out for washing and consider using a fabric shaver for minor pilling. Avoid excessive rubbing against rough surfaces.

Loss of elasticity over time

Avoid high heat drying and stretching socks excessively. Air drying and proper storage will help maintain elasticity. If elasticity significantly decreases, it may be time to replace the socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are socks and require no setup. Simply wear them.

Compatibility: Designed for adults and compatible with most footwear, particularly boots, sneakers, and casual shoes where a slightly thicker sock is suitable. Avoid very tight-fitting shoes that may restrict circulation due to the sock's thickness.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of your RoToTo Double Face Socks:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. It is recommended to turn the socks inside out before washing.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the natural fibers and affect the sock's performance.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, air dry. Avoid high heat, which can cause shrinkage and damage the wool and cotton fibers.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
