Customer Reviews
from 544 reviewsI discovered zkano socks last year when a friend gave me a pair with the sole purpose of getting me to buy more - she bought a number of pairs and handed them out to all her friends because she was so impressed by the company. I was hooked. Bought socks for both my grown daughters (and more for myself). Fast forward a year. My partner was asking for socks for Christmas. He is SO picky. Thinks that the only good socks are sold at high end department stores because that's been his experience. He LOVED them. Is now recommending them to his friends. Thank you Zkano!


zkano socks was on my sister-in-law's Christmas list and I drew her name, so when I ordered the style she wanted, I also bought myself a pair of Over-the-calf socks not expecting too much. I have bought socks online before and I was usually disappointed. Not so with zkano. Being a long-time Alabama resident, I have to admit that I was wanting to like these socks since they are family-owned, American and furthermore - based in Alabama. However, there was no need for home-boy sentiment when I put these on. They are the best-feeling socks I've every had on my feet and the Over-the-calf style stayed up all day - even when wearing boots. I cannot recommend them enough. They cost a little more, but they are worth every penny. Nice to get such a good product from the US! Keep up the good work!

Thank you for your excellence in manufacturing here in the USA. All the socks I purchased are soft and of
such wonderful quality..thank you so much, I am very pleased!!

I give Zkano socks as Christmas gifts to my family. They are now Zkano customers after their first pair. The most comfortable, fashionable, long-wearing socks I have found anywhere. Just get some.

I had previously purchased a pair of the socks you collaborated with Imogene & Wllie on. The quality was superb so I jumped at your 1st time offering of wool socks. Again the quality, craftsmanship and fit did not disappoint. Huge fan! Great value for the money. More purchases to come.

I have continuously been amazed at the quality and craftsmanship of Zkano brand socks! A friend introduced them to me a few years ago and I haven’t looked back. I get so many compliments on the fun designs and of course every outfit needs cute coordinating socks!

Soft, comfortable, superb fit, love them. I have muscular calves, and have always had problems getting knee socks that fit, and stay up. Zkano has solved the problem, will be adding more for winter wear!

These socks are the best socks in my drawer! I’ve given them to friends and family who love them as much as I do. Excellent quality and a remarkable company.

These socks are everything Zkano says they are. I bought several pair for Christmas gifts and then, bought a pair for myself. You won't be disappointed!

These socks are the best I've ever had. They keep my feet warm in winter, especially important because I have a circulation problem, plus cool in summer! And I get tons of admiring comments!

Very well made. One of the best socks I have will buy as a present for all my friends

Always quality from this family owned Alabama based company. Zkano is my favorite for socks and have started giving them for presents.

The socks fit and feel great. I have other merino wool socks but everything suggests these will last a long time. Quality matters and these are top quality like my other Zkano socks.

These merino wool heavy duty socks are perfect-extremely comfortable, nice thickness, and the merino wool does a great job of temperature regulation. They are warm but breathable, so no sweat! Great addition to the Zkano line!

Two years later, my Zkano socks are looking great and feeling great after weekly use. No fading, no holes, and still holding up. They are my first choice out of the drawer, and I am gradually replacing all of my socks with Zkano. The organic cotton is the best fabric - cool and soft to the touch but extremely durable. The high quality construction and dying is hard to match. Today I am getting eight more pair. I have always sought out the best socks, and these are the best of the best. Go USA!
Love my new warm, cozy socks!! The wool and cotton combination seems perfect. Soft cushioning, comfort and style, feels “Heaven sent” for the cold weather!!

These socks are the absolute best! They are so comfortable, and last forever! These are the only brand of socks I will buy from now on.

This was not our first purchase. For various reasons, we require cotton-only or highly cotton-rich socks. We were thrilled to find Zkano. They wear well and are really comfortable. 5-star and recommended. Made in the USA is a major bonus!!!

I have many pairs of zkano socks. They have all been truly wonderful. Very well made, comfortable, and fun. This recent pair, the Zoey - Graphic Plaid Crew Sock Black are a delightful new design and I will be ordering more.

I was initially nervous to try these socks because wool usually irritates my skin. No wool sweaters or scarves for me. But, I hate cold feet worse than anything. SO, I decided to give them a try. I am so glad I did! These socks make my feet so happy. Because they are so nice and thick, they have the added bonus of cushioning my shoes. The happiest, warmest feet ever! Thanks Zkano :>))))))))

I love your socks! They're comfortable and they hold their shape after washing. They also last forever. I want to support small American businesses and your products are some of the best. Thank you!


The staff ars so helpful andptovided updates on my order. My package arrived promptly. My family and I love thecolorful the prints beaugiful and the cotton is superior to other brands.

I have worn nothing by Zkano socks for the last several years. It's important for me to have good socks because my feet turn to ice cubes in the winter. Zkano yarn is soft and socks maintain their shape. And the designs and colors are just dazzling!

These socks have the feel of organic cotton that I have come to expect: softer and sturdier than the average sock. The mid-calf length is also just right for cold weather wear. They are expensive, but I expect that they will last a good long time.

I have washed my socks several times and they look as bright as when I first received them. I highly recommend these socks.

I've purchased socks for myself and socks as gifts for my children and granchildren and everyone loves them! There is no comparison to the garbage made overseas and I plan to continue buying socks from zkano! The quality of materials and the pride you take in producing a great product is clearly evident on the faces of the people getting your socks!!

I stopped buying any other socks after wearing my first pair of Zankos several years ago. They last forever and are so cool-looking. Just the best socks ever!

I love the socks so much.The quality and vibrant colors are beyond compare.The Made in America is a big selling point for me.I have bought over 20 pairs and all have been fantastic.I am hooked.

I have several pairs in the ankled striped style. They are my favorite socks ever. They are the exact right height to wear with my booties and casual sneakers. They do not fall down, but are not too tight. They don't leave a mark around my ankle and I have never felt the toe seam.

have bought quite a few pair now. My favorite socks ever. They stay up and they don’t move in your shoes love them. Also they launder very well

zkano socks are fun, comfortable and long wearing. Best of all they fit a Size 5.5 shoe size foot - not bunching at toes or heel sitting at my calf. Thank you. It is a great story as well.

My husband just loves Zkano socks because they stay up and they wear well. I love the fun patterns!

After receiving a gift pair of zkanis in 2016, I bought more for myself and added socks to my son and son-in-law’s Christmas stockings in 2017. I have just added several pairs of crew socks to my wardrobe for the 2018 season. My well worn socks older socks are still bright and comfortable. Love my Zkanos!

I've bought several pairs of socks from zkano and they never disappoint, with their whimsical, unique designs, excellent quality and professional service (products always arrive super fast). I never thought I would find happiness in a sock but I have.

These socks are the lightweight, stay put knee socks I was looking for. I love that they are made in the US and are made of organic cotton.
