Schermerhorn is a very special pair of socks, indeed! Featuring specially built cable panels and knit in all-natural wool Finch, we think these intricately patterned socks are too lovely to be shoved into boots. Instead, we think they’re perfect for curling up by the fireplace and gazing at with pride or admiration. But, if you still want to show off your Schermerhorns outdoors, we’ve also included a “boot topper” length: just the legs of the socks with no heels or toes to fret over!
