Surprise Sock Subscriptions

Foot Cardigan's Subscription Lets You Play 'Sock Lottery' Each Month

By setting you up with a surprise set of socks in the mail each month, Foot Cardigan's sock subscription service makes getting socks as gifts something to look forward to.

Offering subscriptions for men, women (starting at just $9 per month) and kids ($11 monthly), Foot Cardigan makes it so that you can buy into an ongoing monthly subscription or just dip your toes in with a one-time buy. The socks come in all sorts of fun patterns and colors, but rather than overwhelming you with choices when you sign up for a subscription, what arrives at your doorstep each month from Foot Cardigan is a complete surprise. With over 5,000 international subscribers, Foot Cardigan makes gifting easy and feet more stylish, one pair of fun socks at a time.
