Sock Characteristics
Each of our pairs of socks has its own characteristics related to the specific materials it is made from.
You will find this table under each sock description on our website.
We explain the details below!
|
Warmth |
Warm: socks made from materials with insulating thermal properties, ideal for mild winter days (like wool socks). | Light: fairly thin pairs made from a lightweight material that lets feet breathe and keeps them cool (like linen pairs). | Very warm: socks made from highly insulating materials that retain body heat well to protect your feet from the cold (generally thicker socks like 85% cashmere). |
| Durability | Delicate: material that requires careful handling and washing (like cashmere & silk pairs). | Durable: refers to socks that hold up well over time due to the natural strength of the fibers (like linen). | Robust: very wear-resistant socks that withstand friction over time (like the super-strong). |
| Feel |
Soft: socks that are very soft and fluffy to the touch (like cashmere socks).
|
Smooth: refers to socks with a smooth texture and generally softer feel (like supersoft socks). | Luxurious: luxurious socks are very soft to the touch and have a very light and plush texture (like cashmere & silk). |
| Thickness | Thick: socks made from a dense and fairly compact material, often related to the quantity and thickness of the fibers (like cashmere socks). | Thin: socks that fit into all types of shoes, with low thickness (like 100% Scottish thread). They are sometimes more delicate to care for. | Intermediate: socks with a relatively normal thickness, not too thick to fit into dress shoes but may be more delicate to wear with very narrow shoes (like super-strong socks). |
