# Why claim these are the strongest socks on the market?

These socks are the strongest on the market for two reasons:

Their composition: the combination of the best wool and synthetic fibers (polyamide & elastane) creates a blend of materials unmatched in terms of wear resistance;
Their success in the Martindale test: this world-renowned abrasion test was applied to the Super-strong range, which achieved the best abrasion resistance results among a sample of 15 pairs from premium brands. That is a resistance of nearly 49,000 cycles, a result that cannot be converted into a number of steps but corresponds to very intensive use of the material.

# Why add synthetic materials?

Synthetic materials provide durability to the socks. We chose polyamide for its toughness – it is the material used to make boat mooring ropes – and elastane because it gives a neat appearance and a smooth, wrinkle-free look to the sock.

# When to wear the Super-strong wool socks?

The Super-strong wool socks are mainly worn in winter. In terms of thickness, they fall between merino wool and 90% wool socks: they are thick enough to keep you warm and resist abrasion while still allowing you to slip them into all types of shoes. The mid-calf Super-strong wool models are available in both solid colors and patterns (colored ribs or caviar).

Pourquoi ajouter des matières synthétiques ?

Les matières synthétiques donnent de la résistance aux chaussettes. Nous avons choisi le polyamide pour sa robustesse - c’est la matière utilisée pour créer les amarres des bateaux - et l’élasthanne car il donne une impression de netteté et cet aspect lisse sans plis à la chaussette.

Quand porter les Super-solides en laine ?

Les Super-solides en laine se portent principalement en hiver. Elles sont d'épaisseur intermédiaire, afin de vous tenir chaud et résister aux frottements tout en vous permettant de les glisser dans tous les types de souliers. Les modèles en laine super-solide mi-mollet existent aussi bien en couleurs unies qu’à motifs (côtes colorées ou caviar).
