  • Giving Back

    SOS’ community is constantly growing, and we are always looking for ways to give back to the people and places around us. We’ve highlighted just a few of the things we do to give back.

    Lost Socks to the Homeless

    Every so often – actually, more than you’d think – we make an odd number of socks for an even number of feet. One here, one there, and before you know it we have a box filled with lost socks. When the box is full, when the weather gets cold, when a holiday comes around, or when we just plain feel like it, we take the extra socks to local homeless shelters to help put socks on those that cannot afford them.


  • Sustainability

    Save Our Soles is proud to be a manufacturer in the great state of Colorado, and we believe in taking care of the beautiful environment that we work and play in. We are constantly making strides to create less waste, use more environmentally-friendly materials in our processes, and partner with other companies and organizations that do the same. Here are a few of the major strides we’re taking to help the planet:



    Materials

    Performance is a top priority when choosing the materials to make our socks, but in many cases we’re able to make choices that are good for the environment as well. Here are some of the materials we’re using to knit, and how using them helps our natural playgrounds.



    Merino Wool

    One Merino sheep will produce enough yarn in one year to knit about 50 pairs of socks! We source our wool from Australia and New Zealand, where there are over 4 times the number of sheep as there are people.

    Eco SoleMax

    Invista, the pioneers of CoolMax, created this custom blend exclusively for Save Our Soles by recycling post-consumer plastic bottles to make a CoolMax material. Instead of ending up in landfills or the Pacific Ocean, SOS has made it possible for those used bottles to end up on your feet as you enjoy the outdoors.
