FAQs

What makes these socks 'double face'?

The 'double face' construction means the sock is made with two layers of fabric woven together, creating a thicker, more insulating, and cushioned sock, often with a different texture or pile on the inside.

Are these socks suitable for everyday wear or just for cold weather?

While excellent for cold weather, the blend of organic cotton and merino wool offers breathability, making them comfortable for everyday wear in cooler conditions or environments where foot warmth is desired.

How do I know if I need a size S, M, or L?

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart. Generally, Medium fits most adult men, but checking foot length measurements against the chart is recommended for the best fit.

Can I wear these with dress shoes?

Due to their thicker, chunky nature, they are best suited for casual or athletic footwear. They may not fit comfortably or aesthetically well in slim-fitting dress shoes.

How often should I wash these socks?

Wash as needed. Merino wool has natural odor-resistant properties, so they may not require washing after every single wear, especially if worn for shorter durations in cool conditions.

What is the benefit of merino wool in socks?

Merino wool is prized for its softness, warmth, breathability, moisture-wicking capabilities, and natural odor resistance, making it ideal for high-performance and comfortable socks.

Are these socks made in Japan?

Yes, RoToTo is a Japanese brand, and these socks are crafted using traditional Japanese manufacturing techniques.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight after washing

Ensure you are washing in cold water and avoiding high heat drying. If shrinkage has occurred, try gently stretching them while damp.

Pilling or wear on the fleece lining

Some pilling is natural with wool blends. To minimize, wash inside out and avoid abrasive friction during wear or washing.

Socks don't feel as warm as expected

Ensure the fleece lining is facing inwards. Check for any holes or thinning areas that might be compromising insulation. Verify correct size for optimal foot coverage.
