Crafted with a blend of wool, nylon, polyester, and polyurethane, these medium-weight socks showcase a meticulous balance of quality and comfort. Made in the renowned Nara Prefecture of Japan, they feature ribbed ankles and padded soles for added support. Each sock is made by skilled craftspeople, ensuring unique characteristics that elevate everyday wear. Machine knitting technology, combined with traditional techniques, yields a truly exceptional accessory that blends heritage with modern practicality.
From the brand: Everyone assumes that modern socks are just blasted out by hosiery robots somewhere humid with cheap labor. The truth is that knitting machines are complicated, and required highly skilled labor to run; and that there is a wide spectrum of these machines in use out there.
RoToTo works with factories around the Nara Prefecture and Goryocho village. Sock making began there over 100 years ago with a single machine brought home from the USA. Every one of their socks are careful balance between yarns, machines, and craftspeople. Even the most state-of-the art machines require operators who understands the nuances of the product being made.
