Navy & Red - Super-Durable Cotton Lisle

Mazarin's knee-high socks in Super-Durable cotton lisle with a bi-coloured stripe pattern in navy and red.

If you're looking for stylish and long-lasting knee-high socks, then you've come to the right place! The Super-Durable range is exactly what you need since these socks are made out of exceptional materials that give them unique characteristics:

• Elegance: these socks are mainly made out of cotton lisle, or mercerised cotton, renowned for its fineness and neat feel. It gives the socks great elegance and vivid colours, as well as a natural shine.
• Sturdiness: polyamide is known for its great durability and sturdiness. To give you an idea, the material is used in boat mooring lines! Therefore, these socks are very resistant to wear and tear and will last you much longer than a normal pair of socks.
• Flexibility: elastane is used in these socks to add elasticity and flexibility. This ensures that the knee-highs will be stretchy enough to offer an excellent fit around your calves for unparalleled comfort.

These Super-Durable socks have also been reinforced at the toe and heel for a little extra resistance and comfort, as well as remeshed stitch by stitch, a technique that avoids an uncomfortable central seam at the toe.

The pattern on this model is an original combination of navy blue with red ribbing. This pair of knee-high socks is ideal to wear with dark suits, to truly enhance your look.
