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.

    Super comfortable

    I'm so glad I found these. First time I've looked forward to wearing socks! Highly recommend.

    answer to crappy sock industry

    Just buy Zkano socks. I've been a customer for ten years. The enshitification of products across all consumer sectors is an unfortunate problem we are dealing with in our current era. But there are occasional companies like Zkano. These are comfortable, durable, ethical socks. You don't actually save money buying cheaper crap socks from big box stores, because these socks last about 4 times as long. Also, you get to support organic cotton industry and American manufacturing. Go Zkano.

    Great anklet!

    Wanted to try the natural anklet socks for long walks and jogging. They are soft and very comfortable with just the right amount of padding, so will be buying more. Will add this style to my large collection of Zkano socks. Have yet to find more comfy socks that hold up well, plus love to be able to support a family business that produces a great product.

    Great products

    Nice quality socks that last, unlike most of the thin garbage sock on the market today

    Love them!

    I really like these socks. I usually wear a 6.5 shoe size, and these fit perfectly even after washing. Soft as well.

    Super comfy socks to wear around the house.

    great on smaller feet

    These are far too tight for my larger feet. My sister, who wears size 5.5 or 6 shoe, is wearing the 4 pair I ordered, and is really enjoying them. She likes padded soles. Hope you can make more socks with high cotton (86% and above) and low spandex 2% Thanks

    Love wearing socks again

    I had stop wearing socks because they were either to tight and cut my circulation or they were sliding down in my shoe. I love the socks i purchased, i can sleep in them with no problem .

    Great for spring, summer, heck anytime!

    I've been a repeat customer for these, multiple times. None better for lounging, working out, working and walking. Love them in natural and high cotton too.
