For those of you who need socks for Christmas, the cut out date for Standard shipping has passed since you should count 8 weeks to get your socks with that option. If you imperatively need your socks for Christmas, you can still get them by choosing our fast express turn around, which will take 4 weeks and will guarantee you will get your custom made socks by early December. To check out our express prices, enter your information in the signup form at the bottom of custom-socks.com’s home page.
When to order if you have a deadline
September 28th, 2010 by admin No comments »Because lots of our customers need socks for events such as races, games, tournaments, barvitzmas, etc … they are sometime not sure when they should order as our turn around is 10 weeks. So to clarify this, here is how it works:
Even though, it often takes around 8 weeks to get an order produced, you should be ordering at least 10 weeks before your event to guarantee you will get your socks on time.
It works the same way for our express orders. Even though it stated as taking 4 to 6 weeks and, usually, only takes 4 weeks, you should at least place your order 6 weeks ahead of your event to guarantee you will be getting your custom design socks on time.
FAQ: About Seeing Your Custom Sock Design Template
September 13th, 2010 by admin No comments »One request that we get regularly is people asking us to show them a design template of their sock – or even a mockup sock – before they make a decision to place an order so I wanted to clarify that point.
When it comes to a template of your sock, you will get to see it right after you placed your order. While we understand that customers might want to see a template before making a decision regarding a manufacturer, we do have to pay our designer for his work, which is why we only make templates for our customers; there is nothing to worry though. We will send you the template for approval, will make corrections if needed, and will only start production when you approve the design.
As for mockups, this isn’t something we can do for the time being as our machines are set on minimum quantities of 50 pairs, the manufacturing cost per pair being too high for quantities lower than 50. However, once you place your order, we will send you pictures of your custom socks as soon as the first units have been produced.

We’ve been getting lots of orders these last few weeks and we only have a few machines left to take new orders so, if you need to get your custom socks made, make sure to contact us quickly (as a reminder, turn over is 6 to 8 weeks, which means you should order your socks 6 weeks ahead of your deadline to be sure to get them on time).
What are the prices to make custom socks?
July 19th, 2010 by admin No comments »The prices to get custom socks made vary, depending on the type of sock (ankle, crew, or tube) and the number of pairs ordered. Currently the minimum quantity is 50 pairs but there is a big price break for 100 pairs, which is why we usually recommend ordering 100 pairs minimum. Then, obviously, the more socks you order, the cheaper the price per sock will be.

Socks that wick moisture away
February 24th, 2010 by admin No comments »Following a few questions I received, I wanted to confirm for all our clients and potential clients that, just like us, are into sports, that our custom socks indeed wick moisture away. Our socks are technical socks that are made with 85% Ultra Wicking Acrylic, 10% Spadex and 5% Nylon (it’s like coolmax) so you are in good hands: you won’t get blisters contrary to socks made with cotton.
In case you are wondering, whatever custom sock model you order, you will get the same fabric and quality – and yes, they are durable, resistant and pretty comfortable as well (I obviously wear our socks almost everyday, whatever type of shoes I’m wearing).
Custom Hockey Socks Basics
February 16th, 2010 by admin No comments »Hockey is one of these sports where apparel is important. Players should not only wear the colors of their team but their team logo should be showcased prominently as well. As a result, unlike sports that are less organized, the apparel used for hockey teams must follow some established guidelines and socks are no exce
ption.
So here are a few things you should know if you are planning to order some custom hockey socks:
- The sock model should be tube, also known as knee-high (see picture on the right)
- The color should be solid and there are usually a couple horizontal stripes toward the top of the sock
- A team logo is often featured on the side of the sock, with the team name and/or motto
- The socks should not be made out of cotton to avoid blisters – go for wick-moisture away fabric instead
Finally if you are ordering customized hockey socks for your team, it isn’t a bad idea to order a few extra pairs for fans as they like to wear their favorite team’s colors …

What is the minimum quantity for custom socks orders?
February 9th, 2010 by admin No comments »Even though this is clearly stated on all our pages and in our e-mails, this is a question that comes back pretty often so I just wanted to make it clear for everybody:
The minimum quantity per order is 75 …
This means that we cannot take orders below that quantity and there is, unfortunately, no exception.
By the way, all custom socks must 100% identical within the same order; so we can’t mix colors, designs or sizes within the same order. However, if you need several variations, you can still place several orders, one order for each variation you want.
