About ONKE
We knit work socks. Heavy terry underfoot on every pair, 3 leg heights, 2 yarns, and the shoe size chart printed on every card.
What we actually make
ONKE knits 45 colourways of terry cushion sock. Underfoot they are the same: dense looped pile, knit right through the foot, meant for concrete and long shifts rather than for a desk. Above the ankle they are three different socks.
The low-cut quarter finishes just above a shoe collar. The cushion crew reaches mid calf, which is where a work boot shaft stops rubbing. The knee-high runs up under the knee for rubber boots and cold sheds. That is the whole range: 15 quarter, 15 crew, 15 knee-high.
Why height comes first here
Most sock shops sort by colour and hope you work the rest out. We sort by height because it is the only thing on a sock you cannot fix afterwards. A crew sock under a rubber boot leaves bare shin against wet rubber, and no amount of cushioning makes up for it.
Yarn is the second question, not the first. 12 of the colourways are a merino blend and 33 are a cotton blend, but the merino sits at quarter and knee height only. There is no merino crew sock in the range, which is why wool is a collection here and not a fourth section.
What we do not do
We do not take money and we do not send parcels. This site is our catalogue; the buy buttons hand you to a retail partner who stocks the range, and that shop owns the price, the payment, the parcel and the return.
So there is no basket here, no account, no delivery estimate and no returns desk. If a page on this site ever offers you one of those, it is a mistake and we would like to know.
Where the numbers on this page come from
Every figure on this site is counted out of the catalogue when the site is built, not typed into the sentence. 45 colourways, 3 sizes, 3 pack counts, 170 pairs in total. When a colourway goes, the sentence changes with it.
