SOCKSMITH'S RESPONSE TO COVID-19

 

COMPANY CULTURE
As our province and local social-distancing guidelines change, we're adapting with them. Those who can work remotely are able to do so, and we have stringent measures in place for those who cannot.

We're continuing to follow all necessary guidelines to keep our Socksmith Canada family out of harm's way. 

All you need to know is that we're still available for you, and so are our socks!

 

SHIPPING

Domestic news - we're still fulfilling domestic orders just as fast! That means you can expect your order to be fulfilled within two business days. Oh, did we forget to mention, we're offering $15.00 FLAT RATE SHIPPING ON ALL DOMESTIC ORDERS!

 

PRODUCT INFORMATION

 

Why Socksmith?
Socksmith is a name that evokes our passion and quality standards. Creating great socks is a craft, and we love what we do.
Plus, just like a locksmith is who you call when you’re locked out of the house, Socksmith is here to help you unlock your potential sock game.

Are sock sizes and shoe sizes the same?
No, they are actually quite different!
Standard women’s socks are size 9-11. This sock size corresponds to a women’s US shoe size 5-10.5.
Standard men’s socks are size 10-13. This sock size corresponds to a men’s US shoe size 7-12.5.
King Size men’s socks are size 13-16. This corresponds to a men’s US shoe size 12-15.

Where are your socks made?
Our socks are designed in Santa Cruz, California, and are manufactured in vetted, state-of-the-art factories in South Korea and China. Our kid’s, bamboo, and outdoor socks are manufactured in China. Our cotton novelty socks are manufactured in South Korea.

How do I care for my socks?
Yes, you’re supposed to wash your socks. That’s probably where that smell is coming from!
All of our socks can be cared for by machine washing them in cold water, without bleach, and tumble drying on low.
