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.

My zkano socks are my most durable socks. It's been hard for me to find organic cotton socks that don't spring holes very quickly. I have had lots of "foot issues" over the years so in retirement I wear my structured athletic shoes with personalized insoles most days. My zkano socks have stood up to that level of wear the best! In addition they are comfortable and cushion the "right parts" of my feet.

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.
Customer5/5Verified
great pair of socks!
Margaret M.5/5Verified
Upon opening the package, they are the best socks I ever had; very thick and comfortable. Just as good: the material is perfect cotton made in the USA of a good price.
Kenneth E.5/5Verified
The sock I order for winter is a thicker style. Good for me. I’m happy Zkano has this choice!
Debbie H.5/5Verified
I recently made the switch from traditional synthetic socks to organic cotton. I did a lot of research before choosing Zanko. I’ve had these socks for a couple months and really feel the cost is well worth the quality, durability, feel, and intangible peace of mind knowing it’s made in the US, by local community members. I purchased these socks in three-packs of each color and wear them every day for both leisure and running.
Alissa C.5/5Verified
I was looking for cotton socks made in America. I ordered 3 pairs. Best sock ever. They were so good I ordered 3 more pairs. Love you are a family business. Would recommend your business to my friends
Thomas M.5/5Verified
These are by far the best socks I've ever worn. There is no comparison between these socks and the ones I currently have that were bought at a major retailer. I will definitely be buying more of these.
David W.5/5Verified
Good quality and great fit. Best I ever bought.
Customer5/5Verified
I’ve been looking for a while to find organic socks. I wanted some that are more durable and thick, for working out. These socks are perfect, and I’m so glad they’re organic.
Patricia T.5/5Verified
Nice, thick, cotton socks made in the USA
Bekah5/5Verified
So soft and cushiony! I bought these for my husband, and they're now his favorite socks. We'll never go back to cheap mass market brands.
Lara5/5Verified
Finally a sock that doesn’t choke my less than svelte ankles! They are so very, very comfortable. I love them.
Andrea S.5/5Verified
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!
Fran W.5/5Verified
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
Timothy H.5/5Verified
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.
Tina S.5/5Verified
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.
Billy B.5/5Verified
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.
Steve D.5/5Verified
Great white socks. Love the cotton and they fit very well.
Leah O.5/5Verified
My son loves these! So glad after years of buying crew socks for my wife that now my son is getting big enough to wear sport socks.
Benjamin W.5/5Verified
These socks are my favorite for walking around the house, doing errands, hiking, etc. Not a lot of cushion, but just enough. I hope they make these in more colors someday!
Jen B.5/5Verified
Comfortable, durable, stylish, and best of all organic!!!!
Joanna B.5/5Verified
Bought these for my son now this is all he will wear. Absolutely loves them. Very comfortable and wear well. I also like the idea that they are made in the USA.
Leslie W.5/5Verified
These socks are really comfortable! Plus it's SO hard to find any that are 100% cotton, not to mention made in the USA. I did think they would come up a tad bit higher (they're basically anklets) but I'm a fan.
Avis C.5/5Verified
All of the Zkano socks I have ordered have been exceptional.
The quality and attention to detail is like no other sock on the
market. I am a permanent customer!!
Terry C.5/5Verified
Comfortable and looking forward to a longer wearing sock. Happy to support made in USA.
Jeff L.5/5Verified
These socks are comfy, look good, and have washed well. I love the company’s commitment to sustainability, also!
J.f.5/5Verified
I ordered these for my brother who was complaining about his socks. He said they are "wonderful."
Trudy B.5/5Verified
I bought my first Zkano socks last winter - I bought the wrong size but they still were ok to wear. Once summer came I bought the mini crews in the right size and am very happy with them. They get washed and dryer a lot and I wear a pair of them everyday- many days I wear them for 12-15 hours. They are thick and made of quality. One cannot find a better made sock in my opinion.
Rebecca T.5/5Verified
I love these white socks! They are so soft and I feel happy that are being produced in the USA! Keep up the good work Zkano!
Tina H.5/5Verified
I didn’t read the description carefully enough. The socks do provide cushion, but no support. They feel more like a slipper than an athletic sock. My mistake in choosing this style, but they are very nicely made.
Marian H.5/5Verified
very pleased with my socks from zkano
Jesse W.5/5Verified
Never had socks fit my feet with such comfort. I am hooked now forever! You simply cannot believe how different your feet feel in your shoes until you try these socks for yourself.
Danny M.5/5Verified
I don't normally pay what I consider to be overpriced for socks.. but I am SOOO glad I did.. the construction of the sock is more than I could ever ask for.
I wore these in my boots for a whole day, walked a construction site and four city blocks to a few meetings. At the end of the day my footsies were amazingly happy. It felt like walking on clouds. They are worth every $$$$
K.e.b.5/5Verified
LOVE these socks! This is my second purchase. Elasticity is just right. I’m on my feet all day cleaning and these work wonderfully. Stay on, not too tight. Just comfy. And made in the USA!
Sally C.5/5Verified
These are my everyday comfortable socks. My feet are sensitive, and these socks are the best thing I have ever done for my feet!! Really!! I love this company!😍
Judy E.5/5Verified
This was my second pack of zkano socks. They are super comfy. There's just enough padding, but not so much that your shoes won't fit anymore.
Heather G.5/5Verified
So comfortable and well made. So glad to be buying socks made in Alabama!
