Socks | Black - Super-solid Wool

Black mid-calf socks in extra-durable Merino wool. Women's model by Mazarin.

Here is a classic and timeless pair of black Merino wool socks. You can pair them with your black shoes for a formal or more casual look.

Part of our Extra-Durable range, these women's socks are particularly resistant to wear thanks to reinforced yarn, toes, and heels. They are ideal for wearing in winter: the Merino wool used to knit them is renowned for its insulating properties, which retain body heat while allowing your feet to breathe.

It is also a pleasant material to wear that retains its softness even after many washes.

Socks from the Extra-Durable range are knitted in Italy in specialized workshops. Each pair features a stitch-by-stitch linking finish to avoid seams under the toes.

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

Composition : 68% Merino wool - 26% Polyamide - 2% Elastane

Height : mid-calf (short)

Sizes: 36 to 48.

2- Crew Socks
