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.

    Very comfy

    So far these are just what I needed for comfort and fit and I am happy with the ankle socks! Thank you!

    Happy with quality

    These socks are comfortable & roomy enough even with my 9 1/2 shoe size to be roomy.
    I think they could have been a little thicker in the footbed & heel & toe area, time will tell on how they wear & last. Happy with quality so far.

    Quality socks

    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.

    Incredible Foot Love!

    These socks are truly amazing. So comfy! Somehow both not squeezey and never shift all over the place. They're easy to care for, easy to wear, easy on the eyes, and easy on the environment. Wins all around.
