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 ourzkano Recycles page.

Care instructions
(General Care Instructions & Our Advice on How to take care of your socks)
Your zkano’s should last a long time. Here’s a few things we suggest to help them reach their intended lifespan.
We highly recommend sticking to our washing instructions for our organic cotton and merino wool socks.
Machine wash cold water
Wash inside out for best results
Tumble dry on low heat
Do not bleach
Do not iron or dry clean
Additional suggestions for increasing the lifespan of your organic cotton and wool socks:
How to reduce pilling
Pilling with cotton is normal, especially in products made with a high combed cotton content, such as our socks. To reduce this, we recommend a few easy steps. This is good advice for our wool socks as well.
Wash separately. Do not wash your socks with towels or other rough items (for example, zippers) that will agitate the soft fibers in the wash cycle.
Turn inside out to wash and dry.
Placing your socks in a mesh laundry bag will also help with this.
Bleaching is a no.
Never (ever) bleach your socks, y’all- even if they are solid white. Using bleach on cotton or wool socks will cause the fibers to break down, resulting in holes in your socks.
Drying
To keep your socks feeling soft and to avoid unintended shrinkage over time, do not dry them in a hot dryer.
Using a low temperature setting in the dryer is best for your socks.
Do not over dry them. This will reduce their softness and zap them of their vibrant colors over time.
Though it’s not necessary, our favorite way is line drying, especially our no show and anklet styles. This helps prevent pilling too.
Don’t wear outside without shoes
Natural fibers, such as cotton and wool, will not hold up to being worn on rough outdoor surfaces.
Keep nails trimmed
This will keep those annoying holes from forming in the toe of the socks.

I have made several purchases from zkano over the years and have been completely satisfied with the socks. They are lightweight and comfortable and they shipped quickly. I will purchase again when I need more socks.
These are my new gotos for relaxed around the house socks. They are top quality and very well-made. Soft and comfortable and feel thick enough to last but still work in my gym shoes. I'm happy I found an American maker that uses real American organic cotton. Great stuff, zkano!
When I went searching for cotton, pre-shrunk, quality built socks, these and one other met the description online. But, after trying them, I am very happy to say, these were the right choice: very soft, very well built seams, very nice form fit (great for my boot fit), neither leaves my feet cold or hot.
I am very satisfied with these socks. Love the fact that they are made from Organic Cotton. Very comfortable and my feet don't itch in them like many other socks I've worn.Will be ordering some more in the future. Thank You for making a good quality product.
They stay up, stay in place, don't slip around and are comfy. Pretty much what you want in a sock. AND, I get the pleasure of knowing I helped employ folks here in America - supporting American farmers too. What's not to like?
I'm beyond satisfied with these socks. I'm kinda picky about my socks. This is my 2nd order. I love the high quality and strength of them, but at the same time you forget there on your feet. Being made in the USA is a big deal to me as well. Keep up the strong love for what you do. Thank you zkano
These are very nice socks: Up to the present, they fit well, are comfortable and seem to hold up through repeated washings, without stretching out. Finding a quality heavier weight sock has been a challenge lately. I am so glad I found your site.
He loves them...he is picky when it comes to his socks.
This style is just right for him.
Will be ordering more later on in the year.
It's good to know we have socks made in the USA
Thank you!
I'm very pleased so far. The quality is obvious upon initial inspection. I've worn these a few times now and they are comfortable, the toe seams are really awesome. You don't feel them at all. These are thicker, as the heavyweight descrition implies. I'm very happy to be buying a product that is American made, right here in my home state. I plan on purchasing more and supporting this family business. Thank you!
I bought these socks for my husband to try. I was looking for American made. I am tired giving my money to foreign countries. He has worn 1 pair so far. And so far so good. He has no complaints.
My husband brought home zkano socks over a decade ago. He bought them from the manufacturer's location while he was servicing some of their equipment. I had never heard of them, even though they're a local company. 10 years later, he's started walking holes into the heels and the seams are beginning to come unthreaded. I bought a different, less expensive brand, for him at Christmas last year. Those began falling apart months after. I rounded back around and bought him more zkanos. While doing laundry tonight I had to laugh, as we're still cycling through decade old zkanos socks with the new ones, and tossing other brands nearly every week as they come apart. 💙
I ordered 4 pairs of zkano socks for a lady friend of mine as a gift. Two of the Merino Wool / Organic cotton socks, 1 pair of the " on the farm " and a pair of the " night owl"
socks......What a hit they were!! As with all the zkano socks, great quality, great service / shipping.....PLUS THEY ARE MADE IN THE USA!! Valentine's Day is coming up guys take a look at these socks for a daughter or a special sweetie in your life, can't decide? consider a zkano gift card.
First things first-fabulous socks, great cushion, not thin like so many imported brands sold at War-Mart, Target and the like.
Second-less lint between my toes, even before washing the first time! Amazing
Last-the obvious...my hard earned dollars are supporting an American family from the south. Being a southern girl, born and raised in Mississippi, I love to support another family business making it happen below the Mason-Dixon Line!
Summary: Will definitely recommend to family and friends and will purchase again.
I like the "tread - heavyweight organic cotton crew socks" because I often just walk outside for a quick breath of fresh air, without bothering to put on my shoes. The extra padding on these socks makes them last longer under my treatment.
My only wish would be that the size spread was smaller… 8-13 means I need to stretch them more, which makes them thinner. My hope is that they will last long with being stretched
Purchased a 1 year ago for myself and my husband. Loved the fit, comfortable to wear, and durable doing yardwork. Very happy with Zkano socks especially since its cotton to the manufacturing is done all in the USA and not from a foreign country. Our family loves Zkano socks and a will definitely buy again!
As with many people in the United States, I have realized that investing in America is vital to our growth. I searched for socks that were manufactured here in the US of A. I was fortunate to find Zkano, a family owned company that strives to produce awesome products. I recently ordered for the 3rd time. The quality of these socks are tops. They are extremely comfortable. My feet are happy!
Very happy I found this company, these are great socks. It’s unbelievable how difficult it is to find mostly cotton socks but I finally did. I work construction and my feet stay hot; cotton socks I’ve found help tremendously and I finally found some worth reviewing. To say I’m pleased with these is an understatement. Zkano will be my go to for socks from now on.
So glad I found these socks! Husband loves them. MUCH better than the thin versions I used to buy that wore out so fast. They fit well, lots of cushioning. Will definitely keep buy again. Yay Zkano!!
Suffered a broken ankle resulting in bone grafts which enlarged my ankle and instep. Every other sock I tried was tight around that area, particularly late in the day when it seems to swell a bit. These socks have enough room to accommodate that issue and are very comfortable. I will be a repeat customer!
Love zkano socks. Starting with the knowledge that the land where the cotton is grown is being cared for in a beautiful way to the fact that they are fully made in the USA and finally that they are comfy, stretchy, and long lasting. Go Zkano! Go organic farming!
In addition to the high quality socks the customer service gal was so professional and helpful. Overall a great experience and I will be placing another order.
For the past 5 years I have worn nothing but ZKANO hosiery between me and my Doc Martens.
Having really bad feet from abuse (hockey for 12 years) and neglect (grew up wearing cowboy boots) now in my 70s need all the help I can get. And ZKANO is it!
The first set of six pair lasted over 5 years, and some thoes are still in the mix. Five years of life for socks isn't bad.
Come to think of it. These may be the last socks I ever have to purchase!
Tires should last so long!
