FAQs

What makes these socks 'old school'?

The term 'old school' refers to the vintage design inspired by mid-century sportswear, combined with the traditional manufacturing method of knitting slowly on vintage machines.

Are these socks suitable for all seasons?

Due to their thick pile cotton construction, they are best suited for cooler to moderate temperatures (fall, winter, spring). They may be too warm for very hot summer weather.

What is the primary material?

The primary material is 73% Cotton, complemented by Acrylic, Polyester, and Polyurethane for added durability and shape retention.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Choose the size that corresponds to your standard shoe size. These socks are designed to fit snugly without being constrictive, with ribbed cuffs to keep them in place.

Where are these socks made?

These RoToTo socks are proudly made in Japan, reflecting a commitment to high-quality craftsmanship.

Can I wear these with dress shoes?

While their design is inspired by sportswear, the premium quality and classic ribbed texture can also complement smart-casual outfits, including some types of loafers or boots worn in a less formal context.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight or too loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the brand's sizing chart if available. Proper washing and drying can also help maintain the intended fit.

Loss of softness after washing.

Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, which can degrade cotton fibers. Ensure you are air drying or using a low heat setting for tumble drying.

Pilling or excessive wear on the sole.

While designed for durability, excessive friction can cause wear. Ensure shoes do not have rough interior surfaces. Follow recommended washing instructions to minimize friction during laundry.
