3 pairs of black bamboo tennis socks

Three pairs of black bamboo tennis socks

This is the dark basic sock of the range: an all black tennis sock with a mid height leg and a thick sole. No stripes, no ribbing up the calf, just the construction that has made the tennis sock the work sock above all others, in the colour that goes with the most shoes. The pack contains three identical pairs, the model is unisex, and the sizes run from 30/33 to 45/49.

The mid height is the flexible one

The range comes in three heights, and this one sits in the middle: higher than the ankle model, shorter than the long ribbed sock. The leg reaches above the edge of the shoe on both trainers and boots, so the edge never rubs against bare skin, but it does not climb up the calf. That makes the mid height the most flexible of the three, because it works with practically all shoes and all trouser lengths.

Black for everyday wear

A black tennis sock is the one that disappears into the crowd, and that is a quality. It matches dark trainers, work shoes and boots without demanding anything of the rest of your clothes, and it hides marks and wear far better than lighter colours. If your everyday life is one where socks simply have to work and never be thought about, this is the model.

The thick underside

The underside of the foot is woven extra thick and works as cushioning between foot and floor. If you stand or walk for many hours a day, that is the detail that makes the difference at the end of the shift: the pressure is spread out, and your feet are less sore. The cushioning keeps its shape wash after wash and does not go flat after a short while.

For the working day

The model is designed for days when the feet are at work: warehouses, kitchens, shops, building sites and everywhere else with hard floors and long hours on your feet. The black colour goes with safety shoes and dark work shoes, the mid height leg protects against the edge of the shoe, and the thick sole takes the impact where the floor is hardest. It is the kind of sock you buy again once the first pack has proved its worth.

The material

The socks are knitted from 75 % bamboo viscose, 23 % polyester and 2 % elastane. The bamboo viscose draws sweat away from the skin and out into the fabric, where it evaporates, so your feet stay dry and fresh even in closed shoes all day long. The polyester gives durability at the heel, toe and sole, and the elastane makes sure the fit lasts. All the properties of the fibre are described under benefits of bamboo viscose.

Certification

The socks are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, cert. no. BJ020 142441, and the label covers all the materials in the sock, including dye and sewing thread. What the certificate means in practice is explained under what OEKO-TEX Standard 100 means.

Washing

Black is the easy colour in the laundry: 40 degrees together with the rest of your dark clothes, no fabric softener and preferably air drying. The socks dry quickly, so three pairs can cover a whole week if you wash once along the way.
