MINT Socks
MINT socks are crafted in Italy and will be around (‘round your feet, ankles, and calves) for years to come. Since we wish to keep your feet fresh with newly minted knits, once we mint a design, it’s done. The concept is a minted collection of three fresh designs introduced quarterly with models being archived once sold out.
We are testing the Triangulate (It’s math. And its fun.) that retails for $20.00.
Specs
- 80% Polyamide and 20% Elastane
- 5.5 inches tall
- Italian threads
- Made in Italy, of course.
- Your freshly minted socks are twice as good as more than half. Here’s why:
- The cuff and calf are constructed with Filanca nylon yarn. Mint socks do not fall down.
- Meryl Skinlife performance yarn is used in the footbed for a soft yet solid fit around your coveted digits.
