It’s time you did more with your socks.
And we’re not talking about Bluetooth toes or Wifi woollies.
We’re talking about actual good deeds.
Did you know that socks are the most requested item by homeless shelters? But they are, sadly, the least donated clothing item.
Stand4 Socks wants to help put a sock in it (cold toesies, that is). That’s why they’ve spent the last 8 years developing and perfecting the most comfortable socks on the planet - without compromising on style or ethics by gifting a pair of socks to those in need with every pair purchased.
With designs that are both original and stylish, they’ve truly turned some heads (or should we say toes) in the sock-sphere. They even appeared on Dragon’s Den.
Plus, Louis Theroux has a pair and you just know he knows his socks.
Sounds toe-tally awesome, right?

Who are Stand4 Socks?
Stand4 Socks are all about, you guessed it, socks!
Founded by Josh Turner whilst in discussion with some friends, their business plan is simple: for every pair of socks bought, another is donated.
And so far they’ve managed to donate over 600,000 pairs of socks to people who truly need them - warm toes all around!
"A bold concept but when you stop and think about it, most of us wear socks, every day.... and if each pair could have a positive impact, then why can't socks change the world?"
Josh Turner, Founder of Stand4 Socks
Stand4 Socks’ mission
Socks aren’t something you’d ever think of donating, right? Who would want your used, stinky socks?
That’s where Stand4 Socks come in!
Buy one, gift one
Stand4 Socks wants to ensure that everyone who needs a pair of socks has one. Have you ever thought about how cold you’d be without socks? Or how much they make a difference on rainy days? That’s why Stand4 Socks donates a pair of specially designed antibacterial socks to those in need for every pair bought.
Specially-designed antibacterial socks
And they don’t provide just any socks, Stand4 Socks has created a specially-designed sock for those suffering from homelessness and vulnerable people.
That’s because the socks needed to be durable, long-lasting, and thick, as well as able to prevent infections and not need to be washed as much.
The socks they donate are also designed with dark, hard-wearing colours in mind and are an appropriate thickness for all seasons.
Just call them Supersocks (theme tune pending).
“Sock it to homelessness! Fantastic Stand4 Socks donates a thick antibacterial pair for every pair sold. Even have a pair with my face on!”
Stephen Fry
At the time of writing, Stand4 Socks has been able to donate over 600,000 pairs of socks to vulnerable people across the UK, Europe and Ukraine. These socks are shipped every few months in bulk from Sedex-audited factories, using only the highest quality and ethical materials. They then work with donation partners (such as trusted charities, organisations and groups) to distribute the socks to the vulnerable in the community.
