Details

A shorter version of the Aspire, the Venture keeps you cooler when you’re on the go. This soft and durable mini crew fits snuggly just above the ankle with a reinforced top. From the deep contoured heel pocket, all the way down to the smooth seam across the toe, the extra plush full terry lined Venture stays comfy and always in shape, wash after wash and wear after wear.

  • Made in Alabama, USA
  • Family owned & operated, since 1991
  • Comprised of 2% spandex, 13% nylon and 85% 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.

    Great socks

    The socks are high quality. Very comfortable. No comparison with socks bought at retail store. Wouldn't think of buying socks anywhere else. The order is always processed quickly and I receive them in a couple of days.

    Crew socks

    The men's crew socks are the only ones my adult son will now wear. He just loves the way they fit, don't slide down and wear very well.

    Great socks for walking

    This is my second time buying these socks. They have the perfect amount of cushioning for my long walks. They wash up well. And because Zkano offers sizing, I can get socks that actually fit me and don't wear through at the toes. Very high quality and very well made and made in America!

    Perfect!

    I was looking for some cotton socks for my boyfriend, as his current nylon ones were "stink bombs!" I found zkano and am so happy I did! I bought a set each of the venture & tempo for my boyfriend and a set of the tempo for myself. He absolutely loves them and I feel the same! These socks are so comfy, breathable, and have wonderful cushion to them. I love all cotton socks, there's no competition for me. We even wear them in the summer heat of the Albuquerque southwest comfortably. I really recommend them. For sizing reference, I bought the size medium and have petite feet, size 6. They fit great. I bought size large for my boyfriend who wears a 9.5 and he said they are a great fit. Thank you so much!

    Well designed and crafted

    What I would write would be a complimentary ditto to the review "anonymous" from Chattanooga wrote on August 1 st.

    But I wonder...if cotton grows so starkly white, how do "natural" Zkano sox get this off white color ?

    Exceptional Quality, et al

    The Venture mini crew socks are awesome! Excellent fit and just enough cushioning to make them comfortable enough to walk around the house without shoes. The natural color beats the standard white in my opinion. If these are anything like my previous socks from Zkano, you will get years of daily wear out of them.
