Frequently Asked Questions:
Will I get to see what the end result will look like if I’m ordering a personalized sock?
Yes. After uploading your photo and choosing which color of sock you want, the website will present you with a sample image. However, that image is clearly a mock-up of what the factory intends to put together. What that means is that what you get in the mail will not be identical to the image presented, but it’ll be pretty darn close. Also, please keep in mind that the image you’re seeing is not stretched out over your foot. So just know that whatever image appears on your sock will, without a doubt, be elongated and stretched out once placed on your foot.
Seems like most of these socks are designed to be gifted. Is it safe to assume that each brand delivers on a one-size-fits-all type of deal?
Although many personalized sock brands do guarantee that their footwear will be one-size-fits-all, it’s still beneficial to look at the size chart, if provided. It’s also a good idea to read customer reviews and see if a certain sock tends to run large, small, or narrow.
