Functionality. Performance. Durability.
All PILOI socks are made to exacting standards of excellence using:

• Patent-pending non-corrosive and secure clips. Having undergone rigorous testing, PILOI clips are proven to hold socks together through repeated washer and dryer cycles—noiselessly and securely.
• Stainless-steel clip. PILOI locking clips will be available in fashionable stainless-steel, permanently secured to each pair of socks, and positioned so the clips never come in contact with skin.  You won't even know the clips are there.
• Long-staple cotton. This is the same cotton that's used to make high-quality sheets and towels feel soft and silky. The longer fiber length creates a smooth, comfortable feel, and frays less, pills less, fades less and can even become softer over time.
• Y-stitched heels and arch support. Quality Y-stitched heels cup the back of your foot. A cushioned, arch-supporting footbed provides added comfort.

Environmentally friendly design
Socks that lose their mates get thrown away, filling landfills and even waterways.  

• PILOI socks, clips and packaging are all reusable and recyclable. The combination of the natural-fiber cotton socks, clips, and materials keeps billions of unmatched socks out of landfills.
• PILOI socks have the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification.  This certification means the yarn has been tested and certified to be free from detrimental levels of more than 100 substances known to be harmful to human health.

Societal Benefits
PILOI has made giving back a key component of our mission. When you purchase one pair of PILOI socks, we will donate the production cost of a second pair to non-profit organizations that fight against racism, discrimination and inequality.
