A ribbed cotton-blend knee high with contrast horizontal stripes — and elastane knitted through the entire shaft from heel to top edge, so the whole leg grips rather than just a band at the top.
Highlights
✓
Elastane knitted through the whole shaft, not just a cuff — Conte states the shaft is knit with added elastane threads from the heel to the top edge, forming the elastic band along its full length. That is the answer to the usual knee-high complaint, which is a single tight band that digs in while the rest slides down.
✓
Large ribbed texture with contrast horizontal stripes — a visible, deliberately sporty knee high rather than a discreet one. It is meant to be seen above a boot or under a shorter skirt, so it won't disappear the way a plain sock does.
✓
54% cotton, 42% polyamide, 4% elastane — the lowest cotton share of the cotton-based Conte socks here, where the Active 571 and 572 run 84%. The extra polyamide and double the elastane are what hold a knee-length shaft up; the trade-off is that it feels less like pure cotton against the leg.
✓
One size, listed as 6–9, in White or Black — a knee high has a calf measurement as well as a foot one, and neither a calf width nor a shaft length is published. On a single-size garment that reaches the knee, that is the spec most likely to decide whether it fits you.
✓
No wash or care instructions are published — which matters more here than on a short sock, because 4% elastane knitted the full length of the shaft is exactly what a hot wash slackens. Ask us and we'll confirm with the supplier.
Knee highs sit between a sock and a tight, and this is the sporty end of that: ribbed, striped, cotton-led, meant to be part of the outfit rather than hidden by it. Wear it with a boot, a loafer or a trainer and a shorter hem.
Nothing else in the Conte range on the store reaches the knee as a sock, so the comparison is against the short styles and the full tights. The cotton short socks — Conte Active 571 Cotton Ankle Socks and Conte Active 572 Cotton Ankle Socks at 84% cotton with a terry foot, and Conte Cotton Women's Ankle 3D Socks at 74% — are all cotton-heavier but stop at the ankle. Going the other way, Conte Dress Code 40 Den Tights covers the whole leg. Everything sits in Women's Socks and Tights within the wider women's range.
54% cotton, 42% polyamide, 4% elastane. Knee-high length, large ribbed texture, contrast horizontal stripes, elastane knitted through the full shaft from heel to top edge. One size, listed as 6–9. Two colours: White and Black. Conte gives the origin only as “Made in Europe” and names no country. Not published for this listing: how many pairs are in the pack, the shaft length and any calf-width range, whether the 6–9 size range is US, UK or EU shoe sizing, wash and care instructions, how many stripes there are or what colour they contrast in, and whether the heel and toe are reinforced. One other Conte sock style here states “1 pair” on its title; this one states nothing, so don't assume a multipack. Ask us and we'll put any of it to the supplier before you order.
