GOING GLOBAL
In 2020, Sox Footwear partnered with a cycling distributor to launch in the United Kingdom. This was the start of an amazing global initiative to grow awareness and expand the brand into a global market. From 2021, Sox Footwear expanded to key international territories like Belgium, Sweden, the Middle East and the United States of America.
Now we find ourselves in more than 20 international locations with Australia, USA and Germany being some of the most recent.

THE SOCKS
Our cutting-edge direct-to-garment (DTG) print technology redefines sock design by delivering vibrant, fade-resistant colours that stand the test of time.

Unlike traditional methods, the vibrant designs are printed on our unmatched super-soft synthetic socks that keep their shape and structure while moving with you, making each sock a perfect fit for performance and everyday use. Now, this homegrown innovation is gaining global recognition, setting a new benchmark for quality and sustainability in the apparel industry, as it supports reusable packaging and eco-friendly practices.
