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.

    Socks for everyone

    These are very good everyday socks. They are very comfortable.

    Best

    We have found these are the best socks on the market. That’s why we keep purchasing these only.
    Thanks for making a quality product.

    Best daily socks, no regrets

    Buying socks is such a pain. Floppy toes, tight on the ankle, seams split, holes appear within a few months.

    Not these bad boys. Super comfortable from the first wear and clearly high-quality. Worth every damn penny. You almost forget they're even there, they're so comfy and secure.

    My day is a little better when I have a fresh pair of these things to wear instead of my janky old socks.

    Athletic socks

    These socks are great. I walk a lot and they are cushy just as advertised. They do not slip down on my heel. And they wash up great.

    Good for plantar fasciitis!

    Beautiful socks with extra thickness on heels - good for plantar fasciitis/sore heels. I wash these socks in hot water, with bleach, btw, and they still look and function great.

    Fantastic!

    I am so Glad I found your socks many years ago. They are the BEST socks I've ever put on my feet. BTW. the only socks I own. And Best of all it's a small U.S.A. company. I'm Proud to support YOU!

    Excellent socks

    These socks are very, very comfortable. I waited to write this review until I'd put them through the washer on Hot and the dryer on regular. I don't have time to baby my clothes. I might be a medium but I bought the large size to allow for shrinkage. The socks came through perfectly! They're still so, so comfortable. This applies to all the varieties that I bought: the anklets, the low socks and the low black socks. ZKANO is now my go to sock place. I like the fact that the cotton is organic, there's enough but not too much elastic yarns, and the cotton and the socks are completely made in the USA.
    I recommend them highly and I'll probably buy more for gifts.

    These are the best socks I’ve ever had. Comfortable and last a long time. Thanks for producing a great product that’s made in the USA by Americans.

    Just What I've Been Looking For

    I have been looking for well-made basic white socks and these fit the bill perfectly. They arrived quickly and are very comfortable. I will definitely be ordering more.
