FAQs

What makes these socks 'Old School'?

The 'Old School' designation refers to the design aesthetic, inspired by vintage sportswear from the mid-20th century, featuring a classic ribbed texture and traditional construction methods.

Are these socks suitable for athletic performance?

While comfortable and cushioned for general wear and light activities, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual athletic-inspired looks rather than high-intensity sports performance.

How thick are these socks?

They feature a coarse rib knit and thick pile cotton, making them a medium to thick-weight sock, providing substantial cushioning and warmth.

What does 'Made in Japan' signify for quality?

Manufacturing in Japan is often associated with meticulous attention to detail, high-quality materials, and advanced production techniques, contributing to the overall superior craftsmanship of the socks.

Can I wear these with dress shoes?

While they have a retro athletic feel, the Navy/Green stripe and coarse rib could complement certain casual or semi-casual outfits. However, they are best suited for more casual footwear like sneakers or boots.

What is the material composition and why is it important?

The composition is 73% Cotton, 12% Acrylic, 12% Polyester, 3% Polyurethane. The high cotton content ensures softness and breathability, while the other materials add durability and shape retention.

How do I find the right size?

This specific product is a size Medium (M). It's recommended to check RoToTo's general sizing guide if available, or compare to your usual sock size. These are designed for adult unisex wear.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The 'M' size is designed for a specific range. For future purchases, consult the brand's sizing chart if available.

Shrinking after washing

Avoid high heat in the washing machine or dryer. Always use cold water and air dry or tumble dry on low heat. High temperatures are the primary cause of shrinkage.

Loss of elasticity in cuffs

Minimize exposure to high heat and harsh detergents. Gentle washing and air drying will help preserve elasticity. Avoid stretching the cuffs excessively when putting them on or taking them off.

Pilling or excessive wear

While designed for durability, excessive friction can cause pilling. Rotating socks and following care instructions can help mitigate this. Ensure footwear doesn't have rough interior seams.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These socks require no setup; simply wear them. Ensure you select the correct size (Medium in this case) for optimal fit and comfort.

Compatibility:

  • Footwear: Compatible with a wide range of footwear, including sneakers, boots, casual shoes, and athletic shoes. The medium thickness makes them versatile.
  • Seasons: Suitable for spring, autumn, and cooler summer days. May be too warm for very hot climates unless worn for specific activities requiring cushioning.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and longevity of your RoToTo socks, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Use a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as they can degrade the fibers.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, air dry flat. Avoid high heat, which can shrink the cotton and damage the elastic cuff.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron.
  5. Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place.
