Men’s and Women’s Bamboo Socks
Bamboo socks are soft, cozy, and anti-fungal. They are breathable, four times more absorbent than cotton, and help prevent stinky feet. They are also thermo-regulating, self-regenerating, and require less water to grow than other textiles. These properties make them great for athletes and people with sensitive skin. Bamboo is a natural material that is biodegradable and eco-friendly. These socks are woven with a blend of bamboo and other performance-enhancing fabrics like polyester, polyamide, and elastane. The higher the percentage of bamboo, the softer and more anti-fungal the socks are. Those qualities are enhanced by their closed-loop processing that reuses solvents and water instead of using fresh, clean water (like other types of viscose fabric) which requires more energy and produces toxic chemicals.
The sock selection from Movesgood includes athletic, crew, and slip-in no-show styles in a variety of colors. All are made with 95% bamboo lyocell and 5% elastane, which is a blend that is spun in China and Turkey, both of which adhere to the brand’s Code of Conduct that ensures workers are treated fairly. Movesgood is a climate-neutral company and works on a lean production model that uses small batches of the best materials to minimize shipping distances.
These socks are made from organic bamboo and other fabrics, including a mix of GOTS-certified cotton, recycled polyester, a bit of elastane for stretch, and nylon.

Cariloha grows its own bamboo on a 10-square mile farm in China that doesn’t use fertilizers or pesticides. It partners with factories in the US, China, and Turkey to make their sustainable bamboo clothes and other goods. This family-owned business donates 1% of sales to eco-organizations and supports a family fund that helps employees buy their own homes. Its men’s and women’s bamboo socks are available in sets of two pairs. They are made with a mix of bamboo viscose that is GOTS and OEKO-TEX, plus some cotton and a bit of elastane. They have a no-pill weave that prevents abrasion and a special no-slip tab on the heel to stay in place. They’re breathable, moisture-wicking, and get even softer with every wash. men’s bamboo sock
