Heritage & History
Sockwell was founded in 2013 in Asheboro, North Carolina, in the heart of America's hosiery manufacturing belt — the region of the Carolina Piedmont that has been the center of American sock and hosiery production for over a century. The founders chose to establish their compression sock brand in North Carolina specifically because the skilled knitting workforce and technical textile infrastructure existed to produce premium merino wool compression socks to the quality standards they demanded.
Compression socks were historically associated with the medical market — compression hosiery prescribed for varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis prevention, and post-surgery recovery. Sockwell's insight was that the same compression technology could be delivered in merino wool, with the natural odor resistance, temperature regulation, and next-to-skin softness that merino provides — making graduated compression wearable all day for travel, work, and sport rather than just medical use.
Made in Asheboro, North Carolina
Sockwell's Asheboro, North Carolina knitting facility produces graduated compression socks using 17.5-micron merino wool that is certified ZQ for responsible wool sourcing. The graduated compression — strongest at the ankle, decreasing up the leg — promotes healthy circulation by helping blood return from the feet to the heart, reducing fatigue, swelling, and discomfort from prolonged standing or sitting.
The Circulator Moderate Graduated Compression sock is Sockwell's most popular style — a 15-20 mmHg compression level appropriate for everyday wear during long flights, desk jobs, or retail work. The Elevation and Pulse lines deliver firm 20-30 mmHg compression for more demanding therapeutic needs. The Sportster and PhD Running socks apply merino compression technology to athletic applications. The full women's and men's collections are knit in Asheboro using the same equipment and expertise that North Carolina has applied to hosiery manufacturing for generations. Made in the USA, designed for the demands of modern life.
