A little bit about us...
We are SOCKSHOP, a team of total sock fanatics based in a beautiful old mill in Bolton, in the north of England, UK. We are determined to bring you a huge range of socks, underwear, tights and more expertly handpicked by us.
Founded in 1983 by Sophie Mirman and Richard P. Ross after Mirman said "People should be able to buy socks as easily as they buy newspapers." SOCKSHOP outlets were placed for convenience on busy city streets, in train stations and at airports. SOCKSHOP was acquired by us, The Ruia Group, early in 2006. Not just selling our beautiful range of SOCKSHOP branded items we also stock over 45 brilliant brands including Jeep, Pringle, ELLE, Jeff Banks, Pantherella and so many more.

Kids don’t care about bamboo socks, but you should...
Bamboo is so friendly to skin, even delicate skin, and who’s feet are more delicate than children’s? Bamboo socks are soft and silky, plus because bamboo is naturally antibacterial, breathable and moisture absorbing, it’s perfect for kids.
SOCKSHOP bamboo kids socks, for boys and girls, in ankle, crew and knee lengths, are great for school socks because bamboo sock fibre handles heat and moisture really well. As feet get too warm, or too damp, bamboo absorbs, then ‘breathes’ both away to keep feet dry and cool - fresh too, because bamboo resists bacteria; growth, meaning no foot odour build-up!
Our kid’s bamboo socks include non-binding gentle grip Comfort Cuff tops to hold legs softly but securely, protecting both skin and circulation, and protective smooth toe seams to prevent rubbing, irritation and blisters on young feet.
