NODAL / Brushed Pile Socks

Cozy Tabi Socks with Fluffy Pile
These tabi socks are made using a heavy-duty knitting machine, with the entire inside featuring a pile knit. They are further brushed using a special machine, making them highly insulating and excellent for cold weather.

The soft and fluffy texture wraps around your feet, offering a gentle and comfortable wearing experience. They can be worn both indoors and outdoors, making them ideal as room socks.

NODAL
NODAL is a Japanese sock brand specializing in tabi-style socks, created by Tamai Shoten, a long-established tabi (traditional Japanese split-toe socks) manufacturer founded in 1889. The name “NODAL” signifies the intersection where things meet, and they are bringing their expertise and quality from tabi production into the world of fashion and sports.

Enjoy the Warmth of Luxurious Pile Knitting
What sets these socks apart is the luxurious full-pile knitting on the inside, followed by additional brushing with a special machine. While typically, pile knitting is brushed only once, these socks are brushed twice, resulting in more raised fibers that trap air efficiently, providing excellent insulation and cold protection.

Moreover, these socks are made with a heavy-duty fabric using a low-gauge knitting machine, making them ideal for covering cold fingertips. They are also recommended as room socks and can be worn both indoors and outdoors.

Supporting Health from the Feet
The tabi-style design, with separated toes, not only adds a unique design element but also offers various health benefits. These include reducing foot fatigue and pain, improving posture and walking, preventing bunions, and alleviating cold feet.

The toe section is seamlessly linked, using a technique called “linking,” so there are no seams to cause discomfort or rubbing against your toes. Additionally, the inclusion of support rubber in the upper part ensures a snug fit, preventing uncomfortable slipping even during extended wear with shoes.
