Utilizing the natural benefits of merino wool, our city socks combine moisture-wicking, anti-odor, and superior heat retention features. The pile-knitted merino wool offers extra cushioning and warmth, while a special technique involving cotton enhances durability and anti-abrasion properties. These socks, made from home-washable wool, ensure comfort and lasting quality.
The sock production in the northwestern part of Nara Prefecture is thus originated from the area’s centuries-long tradition of the weaving industry. And that is why Rototo places more value on manufacturing that requires a lot of discussion with factory craftsmen who preserve the tradition and history. Rototo’s socks can be made only with a combination of the right material, the right machine and craftsmanship. They aim to preserve the tradition inherited from their ancestors.
