Factory Seconds

Occasionally we don't Get it 100% right..  but rather than send a perfectly good pair of socks to landfill, we sell them here at a discounted price!

When do we deem a sock as 'seconds'?

- Colour isn't right
- Brand name is in the wrong position / size
- we weren't happy with the sock height

Is the quality compromised?
- No, all of our 'seconds' socks are still extremely high quality and Australian made.. They are finished to the same standard as our regular socks, they just have one of the minor imperfections listed above. 

Please be aware, that our 'seconds' socks aren't covered under warranty, and they don't come in branded packaging.

The merino work socks are a great buy

The merino work socks are wonderfully comfortable, and I'm glad to get socks for small feet that aren't pink or for children!

They had to use slightly different packaging for my order and the note explaining it gave me a chuckle.

The site looked nice and was easy to navigate. Shipping was prompt. Glad to be able to buy good socks from within Australia.

No issues at all, I'll definitely buy from them again and would recommend them.

Thanks Alastair!

FAQs

What are the benefits of Merino wool socks?

Merino wool socks offer natural temperature regulation, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties. They keep your feet dry, warm in winter, and cool in summer—making them ideal for hiking, work, or everyday wear.

Are your Merino wool socks made in Australia?

Yes, all our Merino wool socks are proudly Australian made using 100% locally sourced Merino wool. We support Australian farmers and manufacturers to ensure high-quality, ethical production.

Are Merino wool socks good for hiking?

Absolutely. Merino hiking socks are a top choice for hikers due to their ability to reduce blisters, manage moisture, and stay comfortable on long treks. They're also naturally odor-resistant.

Can I wear Merino wool socks for work?

Yes. Merino wool work socks provide all-day comfort, especially for tradies, farmers, and anyone on their feet. They're durable, cushioned, and breathable—perfect for tough conditions.

Are Merino wool socks itchy?

Unlike traditional wool, Merino wool is ultra-fine and soft against the skin. Our socks are designed to be itch-free and comfortable for all-day wear.

How do I care for Merino wool socks?

To keep your Merino socks in top condition, wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle and air dry. Avoid hot water or tumble drying to preserve the natural fibres.
