We are manufacturers of fine quality socks made to actual foot sizes for supreme comfort and longevity.

Why are The Sock Shelf socks a premium brand ?

The Sock Shelf socks are made to the actual size of your foot, they are the correct size socks, unlike all other retailers selling socks that are sold to fit three sizes of foot or even one size fits all. The result being a sock too small relying on large quantities of man made fibres allowing the sock to stretch.

Our socks are made with a higher content of premium natural fibres such as Egyptian cotton, Cashmere and the softest grade of wool for greater anti bacterial and breathable qualities. They are more comfortable to wear and as they are the correct size will last longer.

Where possible our socks are made on a high quality Italian machine with a needle count of 240N.

What is 240N ?

A needle count of 240N means that 240 needles are used on the sock machine giving an ultra premium quality product, the higher the needle count, the more threads per inch creating a luxurious feel. Mass produced socks are usually made with a needle count of around 168.

Will the socks shrink ?

Socks from other retailers are usually a snug fit when purchased then shrink on the first wash becoming too tight. All socks of any material will shrink after the first wash, when you purchase socks from us they will be too large to begin with but will shrink to the correct size after washing.

All our socks are washable at 30 degrees only which is better for the environment and structure of the socks.
