Why do white socks turn gray and what helps?

White socks usually turn gray from detergent residue, hard water, or being washed with dark laundry. Washing them separately and not too hot, dosing detergent correctly, and skipping fabric softener helps; for whites, an occasional oxygen bleach works well.

When do you wear white socks?

White socks are the classic choice for sports, sneakers, and a fresh, sporty look. With business outfits and dark leather shoes, subtle dark tones are the better choice.

Which white socks go with sneakers?

Short white socks are ideal with sneakers: invisible no-show socks for a clean look, or sneaker socks that peek just above the shoe. SOKKS offers both options.

What material are the white socks made of?

Depending on the model, soft bamboo viscose or durable cotton, always Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified and therefore tested for harmful substances.

How do white socks stay bright white longer?

Wash cool and gently, separately from dark laundry, dose the detergent correctly, and skip the fabric softener. That keeps the fiber and the white intact longer.

What does the anti-hole guarantee stand for?

If a SOKKS sock gets a hole within 12 months, we replace it free of charge, thanks to the reinforced workmanship at the heel and toe.

Which sock lengths are available in white?

White socks are available as invisible no-show socks, ankle-high sneaker socks, and longer models. No-show socks go with low-top sneakers; short socks go with a sporty look.

Do white socks work for sports?

Yes, white socks are a classic for sports and leisure. Breathable, cushioned models keep your feet dry and comfortable even during training.

Can I treat white socks with bleach?

For whites, occasional oxygen bleach is gentler than chlorine bleach. More important, though, is washing them separately and not too hot, and skipping the fabric softener.

How do shipping and returns work?

Within Germany, shipping is free from an order value of €49; below that, a small flat rate applies. Returns are possible within 100 days.
