Founded in 1988 by Ellen and Eric Gil, Socksmith started as a modest 450-square-foot boutique called the Sockshop and Shoe Company in downtown Santa Cruz. This small shop has since evolved into an iconic local landmark. They aimed to fill an industry gap for socks that combine high-quality materials with fresh, fun, and novelty graphics, all produced through state-of-the-art manufacturing methods. Designed with love in Santa Cruz, California, Socksmith offers a diverse range of socks to suit every taste and lifestyle. From whimsical patterns and playful animal prints to sophisticated geometrics and vibrant colours, there's a Socksmith design crafted to bring a smile to your face
