Frequently Asked & Questions

Where are the socks made?
Our socks are designed by our German team and then manufactured in Indonesia under strict supervision to ensure best quality. You can learn more about socks, how are they made and what benefits they offer.

Do you really need to wear socks?
With the rise of boat shoes and the ever-popular flip flop, spring and summer are the seasons a lot of people go sock-free. While we often make sacrifices for the sake of fashion, we have a few words of warning for those skipping the sock drawer altogether.

Why are socks important?
Socks are important for the overall health of your feet. Not only do socks absorb moisture, but they are also used to help prevent rubbing of shoes on the bare foot. Socks can also provide cushioning to pad the feet and help keep them warm. As we are going into the fall and winter months, socks can help prevent cold feet and even frostbite. Specialty socks, such as compression stockings, can improve circulation and prevent leg fatigue as well.

 

What are some of the complications that can come from choosing to skip the socks?
Wearing socks keeps the feet dry and prevents conditions such as athlete’s foot. Going sockless can result in conditions such as blisters or sores on the foot. Also, odour can develop if you don’t wear socks, since your feet have a lot of sweat glands.

 

How long can these complications last and what type of treatment would be involved?
Athlete’s foot would have to be treated by a local podiatrist or family doctor. It can become itchy and may need prescription medication to resolve the symptoms. As odour develops in your shoes, it could potentially ruin them.

 

When is it appropriate to go without socks?
The best time to go without socks is at night. This gives your feet a chance to air out. Other times to go without socks would be when wearing water shoes or showering.

 

Is there a certain type of sock you recommend?
My favourite type of socks are the ones that wick away moisture, especially during the humid summer months. Keeping the feet dry and free from sweat prevents infections and blisters.

What can people do if they don’t like the appearance of socks?
Voted has so many fashionable socks! There are different types of socks to complement almost any style of shoe. Socks can be used as a fashion statement or conversation piece. Have fun with it!

 

Stop Wearing Sneakers without Your Socks Because You Are Harming Your Feet More Than You Think!
There can be something oddly satisfying about wearing sneakers without socks. Your feet feel light, and there’s no bulky sock between you and your shoe. Perhaps you know deep-down that it’s not good for you, and maybe that’s part of the appeal of skipping out on socks. You might be fine at first, but this bad habit will catch up with you.

ABOUT US

VOTED was prompted by a passion towards engineered construction in clothing.

Fueled by our founder’s architectural background, VOTED takes a highly technical approach to the design & knitting process. With a strong emphasis on performance and comfort, our socks are made through stages of mindful and lengthy considerations.

Every decision made in choosing the weaving of threads, material composition, patterns, and strategic placements of padding & compressions are always made with the utmost sense of urgency. This mode of thinking has allowed us to create products that achieve a correct balance between aesthetics and function.

All the knowledge we have gained is inscribed in the very making of our socks. The things we know, we learned through being active participants in our community; by listening and engaging in dialogues, taking care of our people, and moving towards a collective improvement.

This is the very reason we chose ant as our monogram. Ants are symbols of cooperation, strategy, hard work, resourcefulness, and balance. To us, it represents resilience and persistence, as well as an organized, strong, and enduring community.

Fundamentally, VOTED was formed as a channel for change. To challenge the benchmark at which we judge what socks should feel and look, as well as the lasting cultural, societal, and environmental impact they could bring about in the world.

VOTED derives its name from the idea of democratic choice and recognition. Each sock’s design is curated and presented to the market s if it were up or a vote, emphasizing our commitment to offering sophisticated and high-quality products that resonate with its customers.

The expanded form of the name is a glimpse into the history of VOTED as well as the persisting spirit of the brand. VOTED was formed through a prolonged dedication towards learning the art and craftmanship of making socks.

The research began in 2020 and lasted two years before the brand launched in 2022. This pursuit to expand our knowledge and capabilities was and continues to be taken voluntarily, with a goal of finding paths hitherto unexplored.
