HJ Socks

HJ Socks, also known as HJ Hall Socks, has a rich history rooted in Leicestershire, having been established in 1882. Since its inception, the company has prided itself on producing high quality, durable socks, a reputation that continues to this day. The company’s history began with John Hall, who initially set out to provide warm, durable socks for the local farming community. John’s reputation for honesty later earned him the nickname ‘Honest John’, from which the ‘HJ’ in the brand name is derived. Over the decades, HJ Socks has diversified its product range considerably. In 1989, the brand introduced Softop® socks, a patented design that addressed the discomfort of tight elastic in traditional socks. Featuring three unique relaxation panels, Softop® socks ensure comfort by avoiding leg markings and restricted circulation. They are particularly beneficial for people with circulatory problems or diabetes. Recognising the effectiveness and comfort of these socks, the Institute of Chiropodists and Podiatrists has endorsed both the Softop® and Diabetic sock ranges. HJ also provides a range of collections to meet different needs, such as the ProTrek™ range, praised for its technical performance in extreme conditions, and fashion-forward ranges that combine style and comfort. Its extensive portfolio, which includes socks for health, outdoor activities and everyday wear for both men and women, demonstrates the brand’s adaptability and commitment to meeting diverse consumer needs.
