SOCKSHOP

“One can never have enough socks. Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn’t get a single pair.” — Albus Dumbledore 

SOCKSHOP – Feel Good from the Feet Up

At SOCKSHOP, we believe socks are the unsung hero of the wardrobe—often overlooked, yet essential to comfort and wellbeing. But they’re also a quiet powerhouse in retail. Low-risk, easy to display, and great for gifting, socks are one of the most consistent, high-repeat categories you can stock.

That’s why we’re inviting garden centres to discover how SOCKSHOP socks can add both purpose and profit to your product mix.

Founded in the 1980s, SOCKSHOP became an iconic name on the British high street. Today, we’re a sock authority with decades of experience—designing, developing, and building some of the most trusted names in the market.

Our products are ideal for outdoor life, comfort around the home, and gifting all year round. Whether your customers are gardening, walking the dog, or relaxing indoors, our socks are designed to support real lives with warmth, comfort and style.

We use advanced knitting techniques and innovative yarns to create socks that are durable, breathable, insulating and comfortable—with a wide choice of colours, patterns and seasonal styles. We’re also proud partners of the Royal College of Podiatry, giving added confidence across our foot health-focused collections.

The SOCKSHOP family includes:

• Heat Holders® – The world’s warmest thermal socks and accessories, offering long-lasting relief to those who feel the cold.
