For too long we have been told we need to change to fit.


Convinced that happiness is on the other side.


We want to create a world where things are made for you, exactly as you are. 


 

We are two single mums with very similar struggles and very different legs.


Lyana with small ankles and strong calves and myself, Sally  (founder of Manners London) with thick squishy legs.


Neither of us have ever found a sock that works.


Hers slip down and mine sit like cheese wire, cutting off my circulation. 


Legs are different, and yet socks... socks are the same? Where is the inclusivity? Where is the innovation? 

 

 

We made this with you all in mind.

Whether your legs are thick or thin, whether you struggle to pull a sock on or whether it slips down, we want you to spend your days wrapped in things that respect your body.

Sox that are so comfortable you forget to take them off.  
The days of the corset are gone. Bra's are being burnt and yet socks still haven't changed...


We spent 2 years trying to find someone anyone who could produce this sock and after what felt like a thousand dead ends we finally found someone who understood our mission. 


So here we are with THE first sock that fits to YOUR body. Let us look after your feet so you can go and take in the joy.

The result is a sock made from 88% soft cotton, 10% polyamide, and 2% elastane. Enough stretch to fit wider calves without gripping. Soft enough for sensitive skin, swollen ankles, post-surgery legs. Breathable enough to wear from morning to evening without thinking about them once.
We launched on Kickstarter. People got it immediately. Because they'd been waiting for this too.
Since then we've heard from customers with lymphoedema, diabetes, invisible disabilities, chronic swelling — people who had genuinely given up on finding a comfortable sock. That means everything to us.


We're a small London business. Sally and Lyana, still very much here, still very much obsessed with making something that works for every body.


And honestly? You don't need wide calves or sensitive skin to love these socks.
Plenty of our customers just want socks that feel good. That look good. That don't disappear into a drawer never to be seen again.
We make them in colours you'll actually want to wear — earthy tones, classic stripes, clean neutrals that go with everything. Trainers, boots, walking shoes. A Sunday hike, a gym session, a long day at the office, or just a slow morning at home.
Comfortable doesn't mean boring. These are socks you'll reach for first.


Because legs are different. Socks should be too.
