Steel Blue - Super-Solid Cotton Lisle

Women’s knee-high socks from the Super-Solid Cotton Lisle collection in steel blue, by Mazarin.

You will appreciate the great robustness of this pair of high socks (below the knee), known for their exceptional durability. Their strength comes from the combination of high-quality Cotton Lisle and polyamide, an extremely resistant fibre also used in boat mooring ropes.

This combination results in socks that are particularly resistant to wear, whose performance has been validated by the renowned Martindale abrasion test.

Their steel blue shade offers an elegant alternative to classic navy blue. Discreet and refined, it pairs easily with both formal and casual outfits, especially with grey or blue suits or trousers in neutral tones.

These knee-high socks are knitted in Italy in specialised workshops. The heels and toes are reinforced to reduce wear, and the socks are closed with a seamless toe-linking.

Composition : 72% Cotton Lisle - 26% Polyamide - 2% Elastane

Height: knee-high (above the calf - below the knee)

Sizes: 36 to 49.

We offer three sock heights:

1- Mid-Calf Socks

Height: mid-calf socks are long socks that reach just below the knee, right above the calf curve.

Advantages: they provide better hold and fully cover the shin. Their height is suitable to be worn with dress pants.

2- Crew Socks

Height: crew socks are short socks that reach the middle of the calf.

Advantage: they are suitable for people who wear slim-fit pants.

3- No-Show Socks

Height: no-show socks are very short socks. Two cutouts: one for sneakers that reaches below the ankle bone and one for loafers that reaches below the instep.

Advantage: no-show socks are invisible in sneakers or loafers but still protect your feet and shoes.
