This is Tabio

Comfort, Craftsmanship and Premium Quality.

Always, in all ways.

Our Mission

Our mission is to have people experience true comfort on a daily basis at a reasonable price. Every pair of our socks is crafted with one purpose: to enhance your lifestyle with superior comfort.

Our Values

Proud Craftsmanship

Japanese craftsmanship requires the ability to understand subtle differences that are not always obvious. This subtlety is called “bimyo.”

Our attention to “bimyo” details, like stitching pressure and room temperature, allows us to create consistently perfect socks.

Discover our factory and meet the people who make it all happen.

Quality Materials

We’re proud to design and craft our socks in Japan, and we source premium yarns and fabrics from around the world.

Including American-grown Supima Cotton and cashmere that’s selected by hand. Only the best materials go into our socks.

To ensure their longevity and maintain their superior quality, please refer to our fabric care guide.

Superior Comfort

We craft each pair of socks with your comfort in mind. From athletic socks that whisk away sweat to dress socks that stay where you want them.

It might seem excessive, but we think that’s what your feet deserve.

Two Generations of Tabio Leadership

Our founder, Naomasa Ochi, started making socks at the age of 15 and has spent his life pushing the limits of comfort and quality. Today, his son, Katsuhiro Ochi, continues to build on this legacy of leadership. We are proud to be the most popular sock brand in Japan and produce over 30-million pairs of socks annually for people around the world.

Made in japan

Our commitment to being "Made in Japan" comes from a singular goal: to create the perfect sock. In our relentless pursuit of this ideal—a sock that feels like a second skin—we've found that the technical expertise and meticulous craftsmanship of Japanese factories are essential to bringing our vision to life.

Sustainability

Since 1968, founder Mr. Ochi has pursued the dream of crafting the world’s most comfortable socks with Japanese techniques. Tabio's commitment to quality and harmony has shaped a reliable, responsible business.

Present and Future

Tabio has over 200 stores in Japan, more than 20 in China, and various locations across Europe. We're continually expanding to bring our exceptional quality socks to more people worldwide.

Tabio ships to over 120 countries worldwide, with our store located in Covent Garden.
