Knee-high | Black - Super-strong Wool

These essential black Mazarin winter over-the-calf socks from the Super-strong range are made of Merino wool.

These over-the-calf socks are part of the strongest range in the world thanks to their exceptional composition. They are ideal for wearing in winter: the Merino wool used to knit them is renowned for its insulating and antibacterial properties, which retain body heat while allowing the feet to breathe.

Why choose the black Super-strong socks?

• For their durability: reinforced with polyamide, these socks have passed the world-renowned Martindale wear test with flying colors, guaranteeing the model's resistance to wear and friction.
• For their fit: the presence of elastane gives the black socks flexibility and ensures an impeccable fit.
• For their softness: the Merino wool used is particularly fluffy. In addition, the socks' medium thickness enhances their soft and comfortable feel.

The Super-strong socks are knitted in Italy in specialized workshops that place particular importance on finishing, with reinforcement at the heel and toe and stitch-by-stitch linking to ensure comfort through the absence of a seam at the toes.

N.B: the wool in the Super-strong socks has been treated to withstand washing at 40°. We recommend air-drying them flat (do not tumble dry).
