Reading the listing
What to check before you buy this pair
Hidden sole text
The phrase I WOULD RATHER BE BOATING is knit directly into the bottom of the feet. It stays hidden inside deck shoes and appears when you rest your heels on the rail.
Nautical pattern
Small boats and navy anchors repeat across the upper leg and instep. The design sits high enough on the calf to show above low-top sneakers or boat shoes.
Cotton blend yarn
The knit contains 80 percent cotton for softness, mixed with 15 percent polyamide for strength and 5 percent elastane to keep the ribbed cuffs from sliding down your leg.
Sizing and packaging
Each pair arrives packed in a gift box. The knit fits men shoe sizes 7 to 13, which corresponds to sock sizes 8 to 14.
