Some of our employees wear these socks to keep them warm in winter. It's a sock made for watersports, so it's no ordinary sock. It can be worn in a neoprene bootie or on its own. At the upper edge you can see a neoprene cuff that prevents water from entering the sock. They are warm and stylish. The seams are not just seams, but the thread itself also has a special function. It adds the "Nordstrom" feeling. Water sports have a lot of slippery surfaces, and the added grip from the stitching helps with that. It took a few iterations in development to find the right design. We were already using our trilaminate material, so the fit was already very good. However, what cost us the most time was the right cut. The most important part is the heel. Offsetting the seam over the heel ensures that no stress is placed on that seam and could damage it. Most socks are just two flat pieces of fabric sewn together. We, on the other hand, use one pattern to fit the shape of the foot and another just for the Achilles heel. We put a lot of effort into it. We knew we did it right when our staff started asking if they could wear the socks in the office.
