By utilizing a unique 90-degree heel angle, these socks offer a superior stay-in-place fit compared to traditional 120-degree alternatives, making them ideal for daily wear. While they excel in comfort and construction, users should note that they are specifically optimized for a secure fit, which may feel different if you are accustomed to looser, standard-cut socks.

FAQs
How is the 90-degree angle different from standard socks?
Standard socks are typically knit at a 120-degree angle, which often results in bunching at the heel or toe. The 90-degree design mirrors the actual shape of the foot, leading to a smoother, more secure fit.
Are these socks suitable for athletic use?
While they are excellent for daily walking and casual wear, they are primarily designed as everyday essentials rather than high-impact performance athletic gear.
Will these socks shrink in the wash?
As they are made of a cotton blend, some minor shrinkage is normal. We recommend washing in cool water and avoiding high-heat tumble drying to maintain the best fit.
Do these socks come in different sizes?
These socks are designed to accommodate a wide range of adult sizes due to the elasticity of the cotton blend and the precision of the heel construction.
Can I find these in different colours?
Yes, they are available in several versatile colours including Beige, White, Blue, and Brown to suit different wardrobe needs.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel slightly tighter than expected
Ensure the heel is correctly aligned with your foot's heel; the 90-degree design is intended to be form-fitting and will relax slightly with use.
Elastic cuff leaves marks on skin
Avoid folding the cuff down multiple times, which can increase pressure on the calf; allow the ribbing to sit naturally against your skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Muji Right Angle Ribbed Socks, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold or warm water with like colors to maintain the integrity of the cotton fibres.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended to prevent excessive shrinking and to preserve the elasticity of the ribbed cuffs, though tumble drying on a low setting is generally acceptable.
- Compatibility: These socks are designed for standard adult footwear, including loafers, sneakers, and boots. The slim profile ensures they do not create unnecessary bulk inside most shoe types.
- Storage: Avoid folding the socks by stretching the elastic cuff over the entire sock, as this can wear out the tension over time; instead, fold them loosely or lay them flat.
