Blue Steel - Super-Durable Wool

Try these sumptuous steel blue wool socks from Mazarin's Super-solid range.

These knee-high (high) socks are ideal to wear in winter because the merino wool they are made of insulates the feet from the cold. They have a particularly soft touch.

The steel blue of this warm model leans slightly towards gray. It is a very elegant color, a good alternative to traditional navy blue socks, which will give character to your winter outfits.

They are of intermediate thickness which makes them both more comfortable but also more robust against friction. They are also reinforced with polyamide, a synthetic material known for its strength which allows the socks to hold up better over time. The robustness of the knee-highs from the Super-solid range has been tested and approved by the Martindale wear test!

These socks knitted in Italy have an impeccable fit on the leg and are unparalleled flexibility. They also stand out for their exceptional finishes: reinforcements at the toe and heel and mesh-to-mesh re-knitting to guarantee comfort with no seams at the toe.

NB : the wool of Super-solids has been treated to resist washing at 40°. We recommend washing in wool mode with gentle spinning and drying in the open air and flat.
