TORE? Yes, TORE — TOtally REcycled. Every single fibre, thread and strand of these great-looking SOCKSHOP TORE 100% Recycled Cotton Polka Dot Patterned Socks comes from waste items previously destined for dumping in landfill, but now, they’re ready to go onto your feet instead! They look the same, they feel the same as ‘normal’ socks, but in this case, all the cotton, polyester, polyamide and elastane used started off as discarded plastic bottles and old t-shirts (2.4 water bottles and 0.6 t-shirts to be exact). Why should you choose these socks over the alternative? Well, they don’t feel any different, and they won’t make you more popular. In fact no-one will know (unless you tell them) but you’ll know that you’ve helped out, by stopping a little landfill and contributed to conserving a bit of our natural resources. We think that’s good, and we think the socks are too. They’re soft and comfy, lightweight and finely knitted men’s socks that will look great on your feet, and maybe, wearing them make you feel a little warm inside too.
