The Rutilant Socks are all about interesting details. Worked from the cuff down, these ankle socks feature a lace panel with twisted stitches and wrapped slipped stitches that work together to hug the ankle as a traditional ribbed cuff would. The arch shaping creates a great fi t while mimicking the look of a fallen leaf underfoot.
