Pantherella

Can anyone chime in. My pantherellas slide down into my shoes. So when I take my shoes off the heel is closer to the forefoot. I'm wondering if the elasticity is crap over time with these. They are all cotton btw

^Try Marcoliani. I have had this happen with my Pantherellas. My Marcoliani socks do not fall down.

Thanks, G.

Justin - nice shoes, your Bontoni collection is magic. I agree with n-dom to a point in that my Marciolanis don't fall down either. But what I don't like about them (or most Pantherellas) is that they're not 100% cotton. Unless you go for cashmere or silk, most Marciolanis I've seen are 20% nylon, and however good that might be structurally, I just don't like it.

I've mentioned some 100% cotton socks several times (previous page for one) that don't fall down or move around - but that's if you like solid colours and over the calf. But for more patterns, good quality and many in all-natural fibres, try Bresciani. The only thing I'd say on the downside about them, is that they run just a little small and don't fit to size over my chunky calves. But they're nice. See?
