Steel Blue - Super-Durable Wool
These Super-Durable wool knee-high socks in the shade steel blue are extremely soft. This simple, dark colour can be worn on any occasion since it goes elegantly with a wide variety of shades. It truly is the perfect pair to add to your collection!
We would recommend wearing this pair with solid colours of a similar tone (black, grey, brown, navy blue) or with brighter colours and patterns to create an eye-catching contrast (red, yellow, green).
Knitted in Italy, this pair of Super-Durable socks has two undeniable advantages:
- It's extremely soft. The merino wool used in this pair is not only of exceptional quality but also easy to take care of since it's been pre-treated to withstand machine washing at 40° (but not tumble drying).
- It's particularly resistant. The addition of the best synthetic fibres makes the fabric the strongest on the market since its robustness and durability have been tested and approved by the Martindale test. Additionally, for extra strength, these socks have been reinforced at the toe and heel.
