Zockster Review – Monthly Sock Subscription Service
Zockster is a new sock subscription service that sends you socks every month. Zockster makes their socks from bamboo instead of cotton. Apparently bamboo is naturally odor-resistant and anti-bacteriaI! I was pretty impressed with their pricing model and eco-friendly production, so I was excited when Zockster offered to send me a package to review!
The Box: Zockster
The Cost: $5 a month plus $2 shipping
The Products: 3 pair of white ankle socks for men or women. (Men’s dress socks are $6 a month plus $2 shipping)
Men’s Dress Socks
White Ankle Socks
I was immediately impressed with how soft these socks are. I guess it’s the bamboo? They definitely have a silky texture to them!
Verdict: If you are looking for basic, comfortable socks at a great price – I think Zockster is the sock subscription for you! With shipping, the white ankle socks are only $2.33 a pair, and the dress socks are only $2.66! What do you think of Zockster?

I’m guessing this is now Bamboo Supply Co. it’s $14 a month for two pair a month. Socks are comfortable. We got an interesting pair last month. Tall, black, red polka dots with a green heel and toe.
Not too pleased with them. I’ve been trying to cancel my subscriptions for months and they’re not getting cancelled. Going to have to get a new bank card to stop the transactions.
I would love to try these socks, but I wear a size 15 shoe.
Be wary of bamboo fabric. It’s touted as natural and sustainable but rarely is: http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0122-bamboo-fabrics

I actually contacted Zockster about this because I report on organic fabrics for a publication… they use raw bamboo to make their socks. Their material is certified by the OCIA (“The Organic Crop Improvement Association”).
