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 bought these socks as a holiday gift for my husband, who is a Master Gardener and landscape designer. He finds the socks soft yet durable and comfortable. He wants more of them!
Zkano Socks are my everyday socks and I've bought them for friends as well. This is my second year wearing Zkano Socks and I love them! Made in the USA which is a always a plus in my book. I will keep buying Zkano Socks going forward!
I'm thrilled with these socks! They're far more comfortable than the standard white socks I typically buy from department stores. The high-quality cotton feels great, and I appreciate that they're made in the USA, supporting the American economy. I'll definitely be purchasing them again!
My daughter and I steal these from one another. I love them as a thoughtful and responsible alternative to the Nike Dry Fit craze, and honestly they’re so much better. By a mile. Soft, cozy, and hold up so well. Love ‘em.
I’ve been ordering socks from you for years, and I love them! They last a long time and hold up well.
I also love supporting your business! Made in America.
I was surprised when my husband asked me to order more of these socks since it's been a few years since I bought them last. Apparently they're his favorite!
When my husband needed new white crew socks and he found that his usual brand drastically reduced the cotton content, I suggested he try Zkanos. He order two three-packs and says he likes them!
Great to find high Cotton content, made in USA. These socks really are super plush and comfortable. They are thick though, so use for sneakers or generously fitting boots.
Fine made sock. Good fit. Quality materials. AMERICAN made! Glad to support a Southern family business. Roll Tide!
My first order but surely not my last.
When I read an article in our local Alabama Area Magazine highlighting a locally owned company with a young female responsible for the companies success, I had to try your socks for myself. I am so glad I did! The quality of your socks far exceeds any cotton socks I have ever purchased. Thank for continuing the commitment our forefathers possessed by manufacturing a quality product which is said to last thirteen years!
I ordered a three pack of these for myself for Christmas because I decided I wanted some high-quality, sustainable, long-lasting basics. I cannot yet speak to the longevity, but they feel so luxurious on my feet. I will definitely be buying more.
My son loves these sock. Soft and durable, there’s nothing I’ve found that beats them. And there’s nothing like helping an Alabama company. Thank you for offering this product!
Absolutely GREAT socks. Thick well made and stay in place. Everyone should be wearing these socks especially if they are on their feet all day long. 👍👍
Third time I've purchased these sock for everyday wear. Not bad for over a decade plus! Warm in winter, great in boots, cool in summer ~ loafers.
An investment in comfort that pays back a hundred fold!
And they are made in the USA!
I usually have to order large or extra large size due to too much constriction in the calf and ankle. The size chart indicated a Medium for me, so I did order a medium with trepidation. These fit great!! They stay on my legs and not get "eaten" into my shoes. Very comfortable and good quality. Thanks.
I've been buying these socks since they were first released on The Grommet. I love the socks, and I love the "made in America" story. I just bought 9 more pair in preparation for the summer.
Purchased 1 year ago for my husband in a large size. Fits well, comfortable wearing, durable socks for outdoor yardwork. Excellent quality, workmanship, and made to last after repeated washings. Worth the price. A Zkano buyer from now on
I was looking for socks that did not end up slipping off my feet and bunching up in my shoes during mountain climbing. So glad I found the Aspire cushioned socks. They are so comfortable and never slip off my feet.
I haven't had this nice of a sock since the imports arrived many years ago. Soft, made in the USA comfort socks. They fit well and feel great. Now that I've found Zkano socks I'll never buy any other. While I've only tries Aspire-Cushioned Crew I would bet the other styles are just as nice.
I love my all cotton socks and this time I ordered the natural color. It’s the only socks I wear. I am completely sold on my Zakano Aspire socks. I will keep buying them as long as I can afford them. I thank you for a great American made product. Soft and comfortable.
I am SO impressed with Zkano socks. They are high quality, incredibly comfortable, long lasting, and stay up. This is my first time getting the cushioned crew socks. They felt like wearing two clouds on my feet. I put them on and they were the softest socks ever, stayed put, and provided comfort all day long. I don't even have to pull them up whatsoever during the time I wear them. These socks are awesome. I like that they are from a small family run business too. I plan to continue buying Zkano, I've never had a better sock.
