Our socks are inspired by you and all your many wonderful sock suggestions, and are manufactured in China. 

How do I care for my socks?

That's right, you’re supposed to wash your socks - that’s probably where that smell is coming from!

Do not use chlorine or chlorine based detergent. Please remove barb with scissors.
