ROTOTO Loose Pile Crew Socks Charcoal

The Loose Pile Crew Socks are a typical example of ROTOTO turning an apparently simple design into a carefully considered construction. Knitted from a thick and stretchy fabric, they combine a soft ribbed upper designed to reduce pressure around the leg with a generously looped pile sole providing additional softness and cushioning.

Description

With the Loose Pile Crew Socks, ROTOTO focuses primarily on comfort and the way the sock naturally wraps around the foot. The stretchy knit gently follows its shape, while the ribbed upper is deliberately designed to reduce pressure around the ankle and calf.

The model is also distinguished by its relatively substantial knit and, above all, its looped pile sole. This construction provides a softer feel underfoot and additional cushioning without making the entire sock excessively bulky.

The slightly longer ribbed upper also provides different styling options. It can be left naturally gathered around the ankle for a relaxed appearance or pulled fully up the leg when additional coverage is preferred.

Like ROTOTO's wider sock collection, the Loose Pile Crew Socks are made in Japan, drawing on the specialist hosiery expertise of the workshops the brand works with.

Fit & Sizing

The Loose Pile Crew Socks feature a stretchy knit designed to comfortably follow the shape of the foot. Their softer ribbed upper reduces pressure around the leg, while the additional length allows them to be worn higher or lower depending on preference.

Size S corresponds to EU sizes 37 to 40, Size M to EU sizes 41 to 44, while Size L is suitable for EU size 44 and above.

Why We Selected It

The Loose Pile Crew Socks perfectly illustrate ROTOTO's ability to bring genuine technical consideration to an apparently simple sock. Comfort comes from more than just thickness: the pile sole provides softness underfoot while the more relaxed ribbed upper improves comfort around the leg.

The Charcoal colourway provides a slightly more nuanced alternative to black. Its deep grey tone retains the versatility of a dark colour while allowing the relief and texture of the knit to remain more visible.
