The 'retro' aspect comes from the classic athletic design, particularly the bold decorative stripes around the ankle, reminiscent of athletic socks from past decades.
Are these socks suitable for long-distance running or intense sports?

What is the primary material of these socks?
The primary material is an 82% cotton blend, with additions of nylon, polyester, and polyurethane for durability, stretch, and shape retention.
Can these socks be worn in both warm and cool weather?
Yes, the breathable cotton blend makes them suitable for warmer conditions, while the fabric offers gentle warmth for cooler days, making them versatile for year-round wear.
Where are these RoToTo socks manufactured?

How should I care for these socks to ensure they last?
Machine wash cold with like colors, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning to maintain fabric integrity and elasticity.
Troubleshooting
Socks slipping down ankles
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. The ribbed texture should help maintain grip, but excessive wear or improper sizing can contribute to slippage.
Loss of elasticity after washing
Avoid high heat drying and harsh detergents. Air drying or tumble drying on low heat is recommended to preserve elasticity.
Pilling or abrasion on fabric
Limit friction with rough surfaces. Washing inside out can help protect the outer surface. Avoid excessive rubbing during washing.
