They may look and feel just the same as any quality-made cotton socks, but our SOCKSHOP Plain Regenerated Eco-Cotton Striped Trainer Socks represent an small step towards a more sustainable way to make socks. We use regenerated (or recycled, if you prefer) eco-cotton for them, which is to say we and our producers help the environment by carefully collecting waste fibres during manufacture and re-process them, making them into useful yarn again.

The result is these five pairs of cotton blend men’s socks, every bit as soft and smooth but without the extra water, chemicals and energy that ‘virgin’ cotton needs, lowering impact on resources.

The finished sports trainer socks sit below the ankle, gently elasticated with slim honeycomb weave cuffs and properly shaped heels that ensure a better fit. They’re non-cushioned, lightweight, fine gauge and breathable, with a mix of coloured stripe patterns throughout the set.
