Good Socks by Red Parka

Good for the environment!
Good Socks are made predominantly from bamboo. Bamboo contains a natural pesticide which means no chemicals are needed for it to be grown. It grows much faster and uses about 1/3 the amount of water as cotton, while absorbing around 5 times as much C02 as trees. 

Good for your feet!
Good Socks are soft, breathable and comfortable with moisture wicking properties that help keep your feet dry and fresh.

Good for the world!
For every pair of socks we sell, we donate $1 to conservation charities so your socks can do even more good!
