Frequently Asked Questions
Product & Fit
We recommend that customers wash their pairs with cold water and dry on the lowest, most delicate setting. These settings use less energy (better for the planet), but also help the stretch materials last longer when they’re not exposed to extreme heat.
We currently offer three sizes, small, medium, and large. Small fits US Women’s shoe sizes 5-9 and US Men’s shoe sizes 4-8. Medium fits US Women’s shoe sizes 9-14 and US Men’s shoe sizes 8-13. Large fits US Women’s shoe sizes 14+ and US Men’s shoe sizes 13+.
Organic cotton is not treated, so on low heat your socks will shrink a bit during the first wash. This is normal! After the first wash, they won’t shrink any more.
We updated our socks to contain more organic cotton, so our newer styles are 80% Fairtrade Organic Cotton, 18% Recycled Polyester, and 2% Elastane. Older styles are composed of 75% organic, Fairtrade Certified cotton, 23% Polyamide and 2% Spandex.
We donate $1 per pair, $1 per candle, $3 per t-shirt, and $5 per sweatshirt to our nonprofit partner.
Our black string on single-pair packaging does a little more than replace plastic waste. It also makes it easy to open! Instead of cutting it, pull the loose end of the string, and it will release the pair from the packaging easily.

Manufacturing & Sustainability
Our socks are manufactured in India, the largest producer of organic cotton as of 2023.
Our t-shirts and sweatshirts are manufactured in India with locally grown and harvested organic cotton. India is the world’s largest producer of organic cotton as of 2023.

Conscious Step Inc. as a brand is GOTS 7.0 Certified, with every step from our factory to our warehouse GOTS compliant. The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) tracks products from raw material processing all the way to final distribution, incorporating strict social and human rights requirements. Their criteria help safeguard workers' rights through:
• Safe and hygienic working conditions
• Prohibition of child and forced labor
• Freedom from discrimination, harassment, and violence
• Freedom of association and collective bargaining
• Fair working hours, living wages, and responsible employment practices
Our socks, t-shirts, and children’s socks in preschool and youth sizes are all certified at the product level. Our toddler size socks are made with the same materials and in the same GOTS-certified factory, but their grippers exclude them from the certification.
You can learn more about the key features of GOTS here on their website. Our license number is included on the packaging of our products, and can also be found here.
Our crew and ankle socks, as well as our t-shirts, are also certified by Fairtrade America. Fairtrade America sets social, economic, and environmental standards that protect workers and support sustainable development. They strictly prohibit exploitative labor and mandate protections such as:
• Binding employment contracts
• The freedom for workers to organize
• Democratic voting processes within member organizations
You can learn more about how Fairtrade America protects workers' rights here on their website.
Our factory is constantly vetted by independent groups and regularly undergoes social and factory audits from recognized groups such as WRAP and SEDEX. They are certified by OEKO-TEX Certified, Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and Fairtrade International. Our representatives based in India visit regularly, and our U.S. team visits annually. Our most recent visit was in January 2025.
We use GOTS Organic, Fairtrade, and Vegan certified cotton to make our socks. These certifications ensure that the cotton is not treated with herbicides or pesticides, and that farmers are paid a fair wage.
Our candles are made in the USA with locally harvested beeswax, coconut oil, and phthalate-free fragrance.
The paper used in our tags and boxes is made from recycled and recyclable materials, and the inks are soy-based.
We’re currently in the process of reducing all unnecessary packaging and using the most sustainable options when possible.
