RAL TABBY is a product that carefully brought to life our own vision of the "socks we wish existed."
For this model, we pursued even greater comfort by increasing the stitch count by approximately 4% compared to previous versions, resulting in a design that combines a softer texture with excellent elasticity. Furthermore, under the supervision of Motonome Nakamura of EDIT design&supply—a graphic designer who is a prominent figure in the hiking and running communities of the Tokai region—we have created a lineup of three magical color variations that are easy to pair with any outfit while also providing a subtle accent to your overall look.
【RAL HOSE】 Tabby
¥2,000 (excl. tax)
By using merino wool as the main fabric, these socks provide moderate heat retention and moisture-wicking properties suitable for a wide range of seasons, excluding mid-summer. Additionally, with a pile knit covering the entire sole from toe to heel, they offer the cushioning necessary not only for cycling but also for running and trekking. Many of those who have purchased them have become repeat customers, and I am truly happy to hear them say directly at the shop, "They were so comfortable, I'm going to buy another pair."
I personally use them as well, pairing them with sneakers or boots during the winter. Recently, as it has started to get a little warmer, I’ve been wearing them with my Cairn sandals from Bedrock for relaxed runs while looking out over the riverbank. They not only protect your feet from cold air but also absorb and dissipate sweat from your warmed feet, keeping them comfortable, which makes me recommend them for various activities.
By the way, my wife wears her Tabbys when she puts on her Nike Rifts.
I also recommend them to anyone who owns Rifts but struggles to find socks that go well with them. If you know anyone in that situation, please let them know!
