Socks have been an essential accessory present in our lives for centuries. Already the Romans wore short woolen socks, while in the fifteenth century men wore tights, and with the French Revolution, socks evolved further with the introduction of coulottes. However, it was not until the English Industrial Revolution that stockings took the modern form we know today.
Regardless of their evolution, socks have always had two main functions: to protect feet from the cold and to reduce friction with shoes. But to ensure that they perform these functions effectively, choosing the right size is crucial.
How to choose the perfect sock size?
Let's now take a look at how Alto Milano's sock sizes work to ensure your comfort.
Men's sock sizes
Men's socks come in two main categories: one size and numerical sizes.
- Men's One Size: This size covers shoe sizes 40 to 45.
- Numerical Sizes: Sizes are divided as follows:
- I: for feet from 39 to 42
- II: for feet from 43 to 45
For classic models, however, sizes are expressed by specific numbers such as 10, 10.5, 11, and so on. Each product has a conversion chart to make it easier to choose the most suitable size.
Women's stocking sizes
Women's stockings are also available in both one size and specific sizes:
- Women's One Size: Covers feet from 36 to 41.
- Numerical Sizes: For a more precise fit, sizes are divided as follows:
- I: for small feet, 36 to 38
- II: for feet from 39 to 41
Why is it important to choose the right size?
Choosing the right sock size is critical to ensure optimal comfort and effective protection. Socks that are too tight can restrict circulation, while socks that are too loose can create uncomfortable bending and friction inside the shoe.
