Innovation Sock Lab

The Innovation Sock Lab is where we put socks through real-life wear tests—then use participant feedback to improve fit, comfort, durability, and design. No hype—just honest testing that helps us build better pairs, every round.

Sock Lab Portal

This is your gateway to the Innovation Sock Lab. Participants can complete testing steps, check in, and share feedback. Staff can securely review submissions, manage workflows, and guide the research process.

Inside the Innovation Sock Lab

We purchase products ourselves to keep feedback unbiased, then test them in real life for comfort, durability, and performance—sharing clear results and occasional samples or prizes.

Here's How We Do It
How We Fund the Lab

The Innovation Sock Lab is free and research-driven. We test socks independently and keep feedback honest—supported by Sock Bandits purchases through the Sock Shop and Custom Socks orders. No added cost—just a simple way to help us keep building and testing what’s next. Thanks for being part of the journey.
