Overview

Project Overview

Aldi came to us for custom socks for their UK employees. The brief was simple and the standard was not. We built the design around their brand colours and logo, then knit it into a dress crew that people would actually wear off the clock. The finished pairs went out as a gift at a team event.

The Part Where Precision Mattered

At Sockrates we like a brief with real constraints, and Aldi brought one. This is a chain known for tight operations and a fiercely loyal following. The socks had to feel like the brand without turning into a novelty item. So we designed around the logo rather than plastering it, and let the colour carry the recognition.

Getting the blue right was the whole job. Our Pantone matching has no per-colour fee, so we dialled in Aldi's corporate shade exactly, then tested it in yarn before production. The result reads as Aldi from across a room. One hundred pairs went out to store teams as an event gift, and the brand ended up with merch people keep in the drawer.

Contact Us

Can I see a sample before I order?

Yes. We can send free samples of past work so you can feel the Italian quality, and produce a spec sample of your own design for a small fee before you commit to a full run.

Can I order custom socks in a specific color or length, like all black or knee-high?

Absolutely. We match any Pantone color with no per-color fees, including a solid black base, and offer lengths from no-show and ankle to crew and knee-high.

How long does it take to get custom socks?

Free designs arrive in about 24 hours, and once approved, most orders are produced and shipped within 7 days. Need them sooner? A rush option adds 2-day delivery for tight deadlines.

How much do custom socks cost?

Our pricing is all inclusive to your doorstep with no rush or hidden fees ever. Pricing depends on the quantity but generally runs from $7.75 a pair to $18.75 a pair. This includes design, labels and full delivery.

What's the minimum order for custom socks?

Our minimum is 100 pairs per design, the lowest in the industry for woven socks. That keeps custom socks realistic for small teams, single events, and first-time orders, not just very large corporate runs.

Where are your custom socks made?

Our socks are knit in Castel Goffredo, Italy, the sock-making capital of Europe, right next to the continent's largest yarn mill. We're based in the USA and Canada and ship worldwide, so you get Italian quality with North American service.
