Why all Pals Socks do not match: Pals are a visual, wearable CELEBRATION of what make us weird and wonderful. All of our collectible socks come paired as two mismatched Pals. That's what makes them go perfectly together! Why? When everyone around you acts, thinks, looks the same … you end up in a bubble of sameness, afraid of anything extraordinary. The more kinds of pals you have, the more VIBRANT your life will be. The older you get, the more you get stuck in your ways. The time is now, EXPOSE YOURSELF to all life has to offer! Join us on our mission to create a more open-minded, more empathetic and more colorful world! When you wear Pals, you flaunt our ethos that the best pals are the ones who are different. You start the convo with anyone who offers up a compliment about why your favorite socks don't match (besides damning the man, of course). Pals are ethically sourced in a variety of countries including Colombia, Portugal and China. They use nontoxic dyes and have passed all EU standards. Kids al over LOVE and are OBSESSED with their Pals for the concept and design. The Pals brand is created by Hooray Hoopla LLC, a woman and LGBTQ+ owned small business based in Philadelphia, PA.
