As 2025 draws to a close and we celebrate the Holidays with friends and family, we look forward to the New Year. In fact, 2026 marks a major milestone for the Railroad Sock as we're turning 125! (And don't look a day over 100, right?).
While you're making your Resolutions, whether you're gonna start going to the gym or plan to update your style (don't forget your feet), we've got a great selection to help you meet your goals. Thanks for your support this past year and we hope to continue providing you with quality footwear options for many years to come!
FEATURED SOCKS

TIP OF THE MONTH
CRUSH YOUR NEW YEAR'S GOALS
…starting with your feet!
You've signed up for the gym, grabbed some new fitness clothes and running shoes...but don't forget the socks! Success starts at your feet and Railroad Sock has an excellent selection of Athletic Socks to help.
When selecting the perfect workout socks, consider the activity-level. For example, lifting weights is not as hard on the feet, so a comfortable cotton sock (like our Men's Sport Quarters or Women's Sport No Shows) would be a great option. But if you're gonna hit the treadmill or do another high-intensity workout, Merino Wool is just the ticket!
Our "Hike • Bike • Run" No Shows & Quarters are lightweight, yet durable, & feature a breathable mesh top, built-in arch support and a cushioned toe. Plus, you'll get the benefits of Merino Wool: moisture-wicking & odor-inhibiting!

GIVING BACK
SOCK IT TO HOMELESSNESS
In December 2025, we donated over 200 pairs of socks to Kansas City’s homeless community. For people experiencing homelessness, clean, dry socks are essential—not just clothing. Constant walking and exposure to the elements make foot health a daily challenge, and socks help prevent infections and serious conditions like trench foot. Healthy feet mean mobility, dignity, and comfort. Railroad Sock encourages everyone to support a local sock drive. Socks won’t solve homelessness, but they can ease tired feet, lift spirits, and offer hope.
ASK THE SOCK QUEEN
ARE MENTHOL-INFUSED SOCKS SAFE?
">Absolutely! We've partnered with the inventors of this revolutionary new infusion technology, Clothing 2.0, to perform extensive trials & research. Since the medication is absorbed through direct skin-contact, it was important to us that they be fully FDA-Compliant. For our initial wave, we have infused the sock fibers with Menthol to provide cooling relief for minor foot aches & pains. It's like those creams that have been around for many years, but instead of having to reapply every few hours, now you can just slip on comfy socks & enjoy all day!
