At first look, this is a great quality, mixed design triple pack of fine gauge cotton blend ladies' socks, that are comfortable, smooth, soft and breathable. Which is great. But the real story is that these SOCKSHOP TORE 100% Recycled Placement Stripe Cotton Socks are the first totally recycled socks - every fibre, every thread and strand of them is now living their best second lives as SOCKSHOP socks! TORE stands for TOtally REcycled. We've worked hard, taking every step possible to ensure that all our eco-friendly TORE socks (and their packaging too!) are made from 100% recycled materials. We use only non-harmful dyes too, trying to ensure that these are the least dirty - environmentally - socks possible. Just by producing one pack of TORE socks, we've managed to save two years worth of drinking water, and diverted the waste from 2.4 water bottles and 0.6 t-shirts from being discarded into useless landfill. It's only a small step, but every step, every sock takes us further in a big journey towards a better future.
