Find out about some amazing sock companies that give back

In case you didn’t already know, at Leiho we love socks. Our bamboo socks represent our social enterprise that gives back to the local homeless community. But we aren’t the only do-good sock company in the world. As a start-up, we couldn’t help but admire other amazing sock companies out there that are also changing the world and saving the planet through their sustainably and ethically made socks! So, in case you were looking for more options to walk more conscious steps through your socks, here are some wonderful companies you can look up:

1. ONESCK
   1. The name says it all, ONESCK sells socks individually in singles instead of in pairs. Sounds insane? Not so much! They believe that socks should be bought in singles, so that you never have to worry about a missing sock from your laundry! They make it your choice to decide if you want to wear odd socks or wear two of the same colours. We love this philosophy. On top of that, they support the organisation Charity:Water by donating water to those who don’t have access to clean drinking water.
