A shorter version of the Aspire, the Venture keeps you cooler when you’re on the go. This soft and durable mini crew fits snuggly just above the ankle with a reinforced top. From the deep contoured heel pocket, all the way down to the smooth seam across the toe, the extra plush full terry lined Venture stays comfy and always in shape, wash after wash and wear after wear.

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.

    I'm switching all socks to zkano

    I suffer from a parasitic bacterial infection similar to Lyme disease. Because of it my feet can alternate between frigid and hot/sweaty very rapidly, but mostly stays frigid. I always bought cotton socks in the past, but buying the Venture socks really helped regulate them. The Venture socks don't make my feet too warm like wool can, but is much warmer for me than the standard cotton socks I was buying. Now it's one of the gifts I most look forward to.

    Soft and comfortable

    I have been buying these socks for my son for many years. He is very picky and loves these. They are soft yet sturdy.

    Perfect crew socks

    I love these mini crew socks..they are perfect for the spring, summer and fall. They are tall enough to protect against mosquito bites and comfortable all of the time. They are well cushioned and feel great on the feet. And American made makes them so much better!

    Comfy Socks

    I read about Gina and her parents in the book American Flannel. I loved the fact that the entire process was completely American made. I bought 2 three packs and I absolutely love them. Keep up the great work. Oh and they hold up way better than the socks that I had been buying from Wal-Mart

    Comfortable

    Love the socks. They are thick so I was worried about my feet being too hot. But surprisingly my feet did not get hot all day. I would recommend.

    Fine made sock. Quality materials. AMERICAN made! Glad I could support a Southern family business. Roll Tide!
    Part of my first order but surely not my last.

    Amazing Quality and Comfort

    Right out of the box I could tell the difference between these and my commercial socks. These are superb quality, super soft and extremely comfortable to wear.

    It’s so hard to find 100% cotton anything anymore, let alone socks. Commercial socks with cheap materials are too scratchy. Not these. These are worth the price if you want all day comfort with an upscale feel and quality not found at the store.
