HELLO! 

SWAP SOCKS IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE LAUNCH OF OUR NEW MADE IN NORTH CAROLINA SWAP PACKS!

With an interested family-owned and operated knitting mill in our old back yard,

We spurred a movement back to our home state of North Carolina. 

By working exclusively with suppliers and manufacturers here, we can guarantee our new sock line is 100% Made in NC. Our goal is to reimagine one's sock drawer, all while creating a more colorful world. In other words, Mismatched socks for the world to see.


First, a little story. Before the NC Era of SWAP Socks, we were carried by The Original Three SWAP Packs. Gosh, they're so great. But, we're sad to announce we've lost a fellow pack...for now at least. The Cool Oceans were cleaned out by SWAP fans as if they were almighty Warriors. Speaking of the Warriors, they're undefeated. Steph Curry is undefeated. Steph Curry is from Charlotte, NC and loves the Panthers. The Panthers are undefeated. Cam Newton is on the Panthers and has fun. It kinda makes the Cool Ocean SWAP Pack gone, but also undefeated...and fun. It's solid math if you ask me. Anyway, without further ado. Check the other two out below, which are still available (get 'em while you can, just saying):


WHAT ARE SWAP SOCKS?

Our socks are designed to be distinctly mismatched, yet complementary.We use a high quality combed cotton/nylon blend to create comfortable, breathable socks that not only feel great, but also show support for sight through our eye-catching, mismatched designs. In the process, they spark natural conversation about the power and privilege of sight, which so many live without. 

   

SWAP Socks, through Seva Foundation, gives direct aid to those individuals by funding eye care projects that provide vital eye care services for each pack we sell.

 


SWAP PACKS

Every SWAP PACK contains 4 different socks. This gives you the freedom to swap styles around, and create 6 unique pairs to choose from.

Life is too short to match your socks. Seriously, we hear the average sock-folding human spends a month of their life trying to match their socks. Ridiculous. So instead of wasting time searching for a matching pair, you can confidently slip into any two SWAP Socks you like. We also happen to think keeping a tidy sock drawer is highly overrated... sorry Mom! This mismatched thing is fetch, and it's working. (and a lot of them are very complimentary across packs )


WHY VISION?

For us, it was a no brainer. There is a large population of people (285 million) who are blind or visually impaired, and yet the majority of these cases (80%) can be cured or prevented with access to basic eye care. There are so many simple, cost effective solutions that can address blindness and visual impairment, however 90% of people with impaired vision live in developing countries where access is often limited.

Seva works to build the capacity of local eye care personnel in these countries, and works in partnerships to provide comprehensive eye care services in the regions most affected. Restoring vision is more than just seeing clearly, it allows a quality of life that will lead to heighten economic productivity across many communities that suffer from blindness.



Here's another way to just look at it...

We’re thrilled to have you join us on our mission, while adding some fun on your feet for the world to see. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or comments.

FAQs:

How do I choose which SWAP Packs I want?

We will send you a link to a page where you can choose your packs.

Do you ship internationally?

Sure thing, just make sure to choose the perk with "(intl)" 

What sizes do they come in?

Our first SWAP Socks line will be a unisex design, engineered with the perfect composition to range men’s US sizes 6 – 12. That being said, we’ve seen our socks fit comfortably on females with women’s size 7.5 and men with sizes as big as 14.
