Resteröds bamboo socks

Short answer: Resteröds makes socks in bamboo viscose in classic colours and lengths. They are meant as everyday socks with a soft cuff for work and leisure rather than as sports socks, and you can buy the same version again when a pair wears out.

Classic rather than fashion

The range sticks to a few colours and lengths that return season after season. That makes it easy to top up the drawer when a pair wears out without the rest looking wrong. Dark colours dominate because they go with both jeans and suit trousers. See the range in Resteröds.

The lengths

The styles cover the usual length for work and everyday wear, ending mid calf so the sock does not show when you sit down. That length suits both shoes and boots. See them next to other brands in bamboo socks for men if you want to compare.

The cuff

A soft rib keeps the sock up without leaving marks on the calf. That is the main difference between a good and a poor everyday sock, especially if you sit a lot or have heavy legs in the evening. More in socks that do not squeeze.

Why bamboo in a sock

Bamboo viscose is smooth and moves moisture away from the skin. In a sock this means the foot feels drier through the day, even in closed shoes. The fabric is soft from the first wear and does not need washing in first. That makes the sock well suited to long working days.

Choosing the size

Socks are sold in ranges such as 40-45. If you are at the top of a range, the heel may sit a little high, and the next range is often better. The heel should meet your own heel, or the sock slides down into the shoe and folds under the foot.

With the rest of the range

The brand also makes t-shirts and underwear in the same material if you want everything from one place. That gives you a wardrobe where the pieces are washed the same way and wear at the same pace. See bamboo underwear for men for the whole group of basics.

Washing

40 degrees, no fabric softener and air drying. The tumble dryer is the most common reason for a slack cuff, because heat is hard on the elastic. Turn the socks inside out so lint gathers inside and not on the outside. See the washing guide.

How many pairs you need

If you wash once a week, you need at least seven pairs, ideally ten, so a busy week does not run you short. Buy several pairs in the same colour. Then you can always make a pair, even when a single sock wears out or vanishes in the wash.

Frequently asked questions

Are the socks for sport?

They are made for everyday wear and work. For running or long walks, a padded tennis sock or a proper sports sock is better because it has more cushioning under the foot.

What colours are there?

The range keeps to classic colours, mainly dark shades that suit both work and leisure. See the current colours in the brand's collection, as the selection can change a little over time.
