Step 1: Upload a good quality photo of your favourite chook. Ideally a side profile, with good lighting. Avoid shadows. The better quality image you supply, the better quality the image on the sock.
Step 2: Select your sock size (carefully! - we cannot accept returns for custom socks) and background colour. Note the base sock colour is white and we hand print onto this. The darker the background colour you choose, the more of the white undercolour you will see come through when the sock is stretched. The darkest colours will be experienced on our thinner dress socks which are less stretchy overall than our crew socks. However, as long as you aren't going crazy with the stretching you will still get a good result with our crew sock.
Step 3: Add your socks to cart and pay for your order
Step 4: Check the preview as it is created in front of you. If you like what you see, add them to your cart. If you need help with your images, select the option to have one of our design team edit your photos for you. Please note that no additional proof will be sent unless you have specifically selected and paid for extra help.
Step 5: Once your custom printed socks arrive, be sure to show them to your chicken (we know they'll be impressed) and then parade them proudly. Don't forget to share a pic with us on Instagram!
Our socks are 95% Polyester, 5% elastane/spandex.
The difference between our socks:
Crew socks are a medium thickness (not too thick, not too thin) and are printed all over. They are a versatile sock that is fun to wear in the gym, walking down the street, in bed and everywhere in between. Fully stretched they will reach to the base of your calf, or slouch it down a little if you prefer.
Dress socks are a thin sock (compared to the crew socks) with a smooth exterior. They are printed all over.
How To Care for Furriends Socks:
You want to snuggle with your Furriends socks for a long time, so treat them well and they will be your faithful companions for a long time. We recommended washing them inside out with like colours in cold water (not ice cold… just tap cold) via machine or hand. Skip the bleach and fabric softener. To prevent the sock monster from stealing one of your cherished socks, you can pop them into a garment/laundry bag so they emerge on the other side still as a committed couple. (If you have a canine or feline sock thief you may need to implement additional, more robust, safety measures!) Once washed, hang your socks out to dry which is good for your socks and the environment too.
Of course you are free to wash your socks however you choose. But this is what we recommend. Harsh chemicals and heat will shorten the lifespan of your socks. So don’t poison them, and don’t iron them… seriously.. why would you do that?
