Sizing & Trimming
Two answers, you pick one:
- EASIEST OPTION: If your shoe has a removable insole, take it out and use it as a guide to cut your new FLAT SOCKS. This will ensure your perfect fit.
- NEXT EASIEST OPTION (only other option): The shoes you're wearing don’t have a removable insole, first, complain. THEN, count your blessings and flip your FLAT SOCKS over to find our trim guide on the back. Use this to cut down to your size!

FLAT SOCKS are designed to take up the same amount of room, or less, than boring socks. The actual thickness of the FLAT SOCKS does differ slightly by material:
- FLAT SOCKS (size SM): 11 5/8" long x 3 3/8" wide
- FLAT SOCKS (size LG): 12 5/16" long x 3 3/4" wide
- FLAT SOCKS (kids): 9" long x 3" wide
- Micro-Plush, BK Mesh, & Cotton: 1/8" thick
- Faux Fur, Curly Pile, Micro-Wool, & Microfiber Terrycloth: 3/16" thick
**The length and width are at the longest point and widest point of the FLAT SOCK. The longest point for length is from heel-to-toe and the widest point is at the ball-of-foot.

Materials & Care
FLAT SOCKS are made from a soft 100% polyurethane foam base cushion that serves several purposes. It keeps the attached top cover fabric in place beneath your feet, it holds its shape under pressure (no folding, wrinkling, or warping), it provides a slight cushioning underfoot, and the lower surface is nice and grippy which helps it stay put in place all day long! Also there's a sweet raised FLAT SOCKS logo, which looks amazing.
All of our top fabrics are made from 100% polyester, except for one option, which is 100% cotton.
| Material | Non-Technical | Technical |
|---|---|---|
| BK Mesh | Very similar to the mesh you find in athletic shoes; comfy and breathable. | 100% polyester BK Mesh; a tighter knit material that is lower profile, can be considered more breathable due to the pattern woven into the knit. |
| Micro-Wool | Super soft and cushy Micro-Wool material; it's not wool, but it feels similar. | 100% polyester Micro-Wool; a non-woven textile that has a lower profile than regular wools and furs. |
| Micro-Plush | Closest material to a traditional sock; creates a plush environment for the foot. | 100% polyester woven material is brushed for a micro 3D effect creating minuscule strands to both soften and wick moisture away through capillary action. |
| Faux Fur | Plush and cushy, it's not real fur but provides the same plush and fuzzy experience. | 100% polyester Faux Fur; a pile weave that has a medium profile due to the soft and plush fibers. |
| Curly Pile | Fluffy and comfy 3D fabric adds additional cushioning and a lush underfoot feel. | 100% polyester material; a soft, textured pile weave with coiled yarn strands and a medium profile for cushioning and airflow. |
| Cotton | Naturally soft, breathable, and gentle on your skin, like your comfiest cotton tee! | 100% cotton is woven into a highly durable mesh design for max breathability and moisture absorption while cotton’s hypoallergenic nature minimizes irritation. |
