Final Stretch! 

Well what a journey it has been? With only days left on the campaign just wanted to extend a massive thankyou to each of you. I will be sending out a survey shortly asking which designs and sizes you would like. However, before then we have one final ask! 

Together we have exceeded our second stretch goal and now working towards two final ones. If we can reach £20k (which is £3,253 at time of writing), we will release a range of functional ankle socks (shown above). These will have features such as: 

- Massage effect base to help circulation 

- Non slip heal tags to easily pull on socks on the go

- Reinforced arch support for added comfort and performance ​

+ Tangibe impact, Stand4 causes while out running in the gym or hiking!​​ 

Please keep sharing our campaign for the final 5 days!

Wow. What a few days it has been: not only have you all helped us smash our goal for minimum quantity bamboo, (thank you!)  but, we are now only £128 off breaking our stretch goal of £15,000! 

At this point,  we will release new "office friendly socks". I refuse to design a black sock, but appreciate there are times when you can't always wear bold bright socks. That's why I have created a range of socks which are black to the ankle, but still bold under the shoe line! These socks allow you to still stand for a cause, whatever the occasion! 

Thank you all so much for your support so far. Please keep sharing our campaign with your friends. This isn't the only stretch goal I have up my sleeve and remember each pair is also making a bigger impact around the world! 

Kind Regards,

Josh

Extention & Bigger Impact! 

I want to keep everyone up to date on our project. Working with Indiegogo we have decided to extend our project. We do not expect this to impact the delivery time of your socks, but instead, allow us the opportunity to have a greater impact on the world! 

We will also be releasing some exciting new socks we have been working on so stay tuned! Let's show that together socks can have a big impact in the world! 

Kind Regards,

Josh
