This pair of Check & Step socks from ROTOTO is made on old knitting machines using a blend of organic cotton yarns and synthetic materials, providing both softness and durability. Its design features a mix of vintage patterns, scaled and knitted in such a way as to eliminate one of the common issues with Jacquard socks, namely the lack of horizontal elasticity. The many internal threads resulting from this type of weaving are also eliminated, making the sock comfortable.

ROTOTO socks are made in the largest sock-producing region of Japan, the Nara Prefecture. The region has been known for its quality textiles since the 17th century. Industrial sock production was first introduced in 1910, when a man from the former village of Umami (now Koryocho) imported a weaving machine from the United States to his hometown after studying abroad in the country.

ROTOTO places great value on collaboration in its product research: "We start by selecting the right yarns with craftsmen to develop the design of a new material. After that, we choose the knitting machines based on the type of material and use of the product. This can be rare machines that have a specific use, old non-computerized knitting machines, or, conversely, modern high-tech tools."

ROTOTO socks can only be made by combining the right materials, the right machine, and the craftsman's expertise.

"Preserving the tradition inherited from previous generations, while painting the future with a fresh outlook. We will continue trying to produce things that can only be created here."
