SY socks on court

Our story

Great socks that do something meaningful.

We make socks for the course, the court and the road. Every pair you buy gives a pair of period underwear to a schoolgirl.

SY makes socks for the course, the court and the road, and every pair does something beyond the game.

We believe great products can be the easiest way for people to do something meaningful. You were going to buy socks anyway. We make sure they are the best pair you own, and that each one helps someone else.

What goes into every pair

  • Anti-slip Nano Grip. A pro-grade grip yarn knitted into the sole under the ball of the foot, so your foot doesn't slide in the shoe.
  • Left and right fit. Each sock is shaped for its own foot and marked L or R.
  • Arch support. It holds the foot when you run and jump.
  • Stay-up rib. The sock stays up and doesn't slide down.
  • Non-binding cuff. Just enough stretch to hold the leg, never enough to squeeze it.
  • Anti-odor. Fresh from the first serve to the last hole.
  • Breathable mesh. Heat and sweat move out, so your feet stay cool.
  • Cushioned heel and toe. Padding where sport lands hardest.
  • Seamless toe. No seam to feel, so it's comfortable all the way to your toes.

Two sizes: One size fits most (US 9–11), in white, and Large (US 10–13), in white or black. Packs of 3, 6, 9 and 12 pairs.

Why period poverty

In many communities, girls miss school every month because they have nothing to wear on their period. A girl who misses five school days a month misses fifty a year. Reusable period underwear gives those days back, and it lasts for years, not one cycle.

One pair sold = one pair given

For every pair of SY socks you buy, we give a pair of reusable period underwear to a schoolgirl. Mesomana, the company behind SY, hands every pair over itself, with local charities and schools in African communities. Each handover goes on The Exhale ledger: the date, the place and the count.
