Please note: Our 'Echidna’ socks are a luxury sock that should be paired with snug, well-fitted sneakers or lace-up casual shoes, or they will wear out quickly.
If you're after a more hard-wearing ribbed knit work sock, we recommend you try our 'Otto' or 'Otto' Loose Top socks.
From our Renew Collection and Merino + Hemp range, our 'Echidna’ ribbed, loose top Merino + Hemp socks are comfortable on your feet, and kind to the environment.
While they do not score high on the durability scale, as we have removed all elastic and nylon from our 'Echidna' socks, and finished the socks with our statement blue silk toe seam, they can be composted when no longer repairable.
Our 'Echidna' socks were also named as a Gold Winner, and one of a handful of products selected as the Editor's Choice, in the Clean + Conscious Awards 2024.
The timeless ribbed knit provides superior comfort and improved airflow, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter.
Made from a blend of merino wool and hemp, these socks naturally wick away moisture from your skin, reducing the likelihood of smelly feet, and the need to wash the socks after every wear.
Fibre Composition: Merino Wool: 96.5% Hemp: 3.5%
Weight: Approx. 90g per pair

Got Questions About our Socks? We’ve Got Answers.
Do Loose Top Socks fall down?
No. We have found over the years that when the correct sock size and style is matched to your shoe type we can keep the sock in place. A little give but not too much stretch, combined with a well-rounded, deep heel made as close to a 90-degree angle as possible, keeps our socks anchored to your feet, so that even with a loose top they won’t fall down.

What are your 'Echidna' Loose Top Socks made from?
Our 'Echidna' Loose Top Socks are made from 96.5% Australian-grown merino wool and 3.5% hemp for added strength and durability.
Are the socks itchy?
Not at all! Merino wool is incredibly soft, making them socks perfect for all-day comfort.
Can I wear these socks year-round?
Yes! Merino naturally regulates temperature, keeping your feet warm in winter and cool in summer.
Are they unisex?
Yes, all our socks are unisex – simply match your shoe size with our Size Guide.
How do I wash the socks?
We recommend a quick, cold machine wash. They should be washed separately, or in a hosiery and lingerie wash bag so they do not catch on other garments. They should then be air-dried in the shade.
