You can only use one discount code at a time.

First time codes are valid on orders of $30 or more. They are not valid on digital gift cards or subscriptions.
Product & Sizing
At this time, our larger size fits US men’s shoe sizes 8-13. Drop us a note at hello@consciousstep.com to let us know if we should make a larger size!
We currently offer two sizes, small and medium. Small fits US Women’s shoe sizes 5-9 and US Men’s shoe sizes 4-8. Medium fits US Women’s shoe sizes 9-14 and US Men’s shoe sizes 8-13.
We donate $1 per pair and $5 per sweatshirt to our nonprofit partner.
We recommend washing with cold water and drying on low heat. This helps reduce shrinkage and energy consumption, that’s good for the socks and for the planet!
Our socks are composed of 75% Fairtrade Organic Cotton, 23% Polyamide and 2% Spandex.
Organic cotton is not treated, so laundering on low heat will cause some shrinkage during the first wash. This is normal! After the first wash, they won’t shrink anymore.
