PALS STORY

OUR MISSION

Pals are a visual, wearable CELEBRATION of the unique qualities that make us weird and wonderful. All of our socks come paired as two mismatched Pals. That’s what makes them go perfectly together!

Why? When everyone around you acts, thinks, looks the same … you end up in a bubble of sameness, afraid of anything extraordinary. The more kinds of pals you have, the more VIBRANT your life will be.

And for the next generation (kids!) Pals inspires these impressionable new humans to become future global citizens, the kinda people who who stand up for equality, who are all in on adventures.

Putting on Pals creates a very simple teachable moment, that is is SO much more fun BECAUSE these two friends on their feet don’t match. Imagine a world where we can together manifest that social change. Strangers become friends. Hate becomes love.

This is the manifeetsto is woven through every single pair of Pals. Join us on our mission to create a more open-minded, more empathetic and more colorful world!

CONSCIOUSLY CREATED

Pals Socks are ethically-made by our partners in Colombia and China, who follow environmentally friendly and sustainable practices.

ETHICALLY MADE

Our manufacturing partners all meet BSCI, OEKO Tex, and Gold Wrap in-spections standards. They are certified for paying fair wages, no forced labor, no unpaid overtime, and no child labor.

SUSTAINABLE RESOURCES

We never use petroleum-based dyes, and we stay away from fleece and plastic-based synthetic materials. Cotton is our material of choice, and we are actively working to reduce the small amount of synthetics we do use like acrylic and polyester.

ECO-FRIENDLY PRACTICES

Our partners’ facilities partake in textile recycling and environmental responsibility. The Pals Wearhouse reduces waste in every way we can - if it can be recycled, composted or reused, it will be!

REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE!

We print most of our packaging and shipping cartons on 100% recycled paper (or FSC certified) and are in the process of purging all plastic in our packaging.

BUILT TO LAST

Yous Pals should last at least 10 years! (Although we do encourage all of our customers to drop off their Pals at a textile recycling center when they've reached the end of their journey.)
