Details

The lively Tempo keeps the rhythm and stays in shape wear after wear and wash after wash. This athletic 1/4 crew fits just above the ankle. Designed to provide support, comfort, and extra breathability, the 2" ribbed welt top, deep pocket heel, and mesh ventilation system along the top of the foot keep the fit cool, supportive and in place.

  • Made in Alabama, USA
  • Family owned & operated, since 1991 
  • Comprised of 2% spandex, 12% nylon and 86% certified organic cotton
  • Manufactured in small batches at our family mill in Fort Payne, Alabama from organic cotton grown on U.S. farms, spun and dyed with low-impact dyes in the Carolinas.

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.

    This was my third time to order the Tempo anklet socks. These socks have been incredibly durable. I reorder every time the bottoms of my socks get too dirty because I have worn them without shoes in the garage or on the concrete patio. They are by far the best anklet socks I have ever worn. I'm a customer for life. Thanks for producing such a quality product! FIVE STARS from a happy customer in Kentucky.

    So comfortable!

    Wow!

    I usually wear Birkenstock sandals unless I am walking. I bought these socks because I was getting blistering from my shoes and socks when walking. I wore the new socks today and forgot I was wearing tennis shoes. I believe it was because the socks were so comfortable. I look forward to walking in them, and hope they are the answer to stopping the blistering.

    My husband likes the softness and quality of Zkano socks. They are wearing quite well. It’s a splurge from buying Gold toe athletic socks on sale. We like to support a USA family owned mill.
