Sustainability

Quality Materials. Sustainable Process.

Choosy. Meticulous. Uncompromising. When it comes to our materials and manufacturing, these all apply. We start with the highest quality materials, like organic cotton that is dyed with low-impact dyes. Our certified organic cotton is grown on farms in the Southern U.S. by farmers we actually know. After harvest, our cotton travels to the Carolinas where it is spun and dyed before arriving at our mill in Alabama.
 
We knit socks in very small batches at our family owned and operated mill. Our team of ten (including Mom and Dad) run the manufacturing process from start to finish. And, because our entire operation is under one roof, we're able to constantly monitor quality through each step of the process, minimize waste and deliver a stellar product. We do it all because we know a better process makes a better sock. 
 
We like to keep it all close to home. Our packaging, labels and marketing materials are printed within a small radius of our mill in Alabama and Georgia. 

Giving and Recycling. Our irregular socks are donated to homelessness shelters and community organizations in Alabama.

We have some socks that are not fit for donations. These, along with any manufacturing waste, are repurposed or recycled. When recycled, these are transformed into fiber used for carpet padding in the automotive industry. 
 
We can recycle your old socks too! For more info, please see our zkano Recycles page.

    Tempo half cushion organic cotton socks

    I searched high and low for cotton socks. I can’t wear the polyester, rayon, synthetic ones. Your socks are wonderful! Thank you. And they’re Made in the USA!!

    PERFECT ON THE FIRST TRY

    I don't normally order online, but was having a hard time finding 100% cotton socks. These are so soft and are perfectly thin enough to be supportive but not adding too much bulk in my shoes. I don't sweat in my shoes and my feet feel wonderful. And they are MADE IN USA, so this is a perfect purchase! Thank you for all you do.

    nice for workout

    I like that these socks are soft and comfortable, but a little lighter weight for work outs. My son really likes them.

    Best. Socks. Ever.

    No other sock is such a good value. These are durable, and give your feet a grippy little massage when you put them on. My husband and I both wear them day in and day out on our farm. There's no point in buying cheaper socks that will be threadbare within a year.

    Best ever

    Bought my son and my husband these socks and they both said how comfortable they were as they tried them on. Both have thrown away their usual athletic socks and are now wearing these all the time!

    Comfy!

    These are my go-to socks. Love the comfort and the height for me is my favorite!

    Great quality, Made in USA!

    Very nice quality, they fit well, they feel solid and I think they will last a long time.

    No binding!

    These are even more amazing than described. I've wasted more money on sock that won't bind around my ankles (including a certain "Dr.'s" socks that I hesitated a long time before ordering, concerned I'd have the same problem. Not these socks - no binding at all! And so soft and comfortable, too. No bunching, stretch is just right and the quality is top notch. Another key point is "Made in the USA" - every bit of them. Thanks to zkano for a terrific product. Saving to buy more.

    Thank you for making a great product!!

    Great Socks!

    I really like these socks and moreso that they're made in the U.S.A.
    They are comfortable, well made, and will last.
