A store owner is searching for a high-quality sock supplier with Shopify integration, specifically for streetwear/athletic socks made from breathable, cotton-based materials. They currently use Printful but find their socks overpriced and low quality, with similar issues at Printify.

I’m looking to add socks to my store, but I still haven’t found a high-quality supplier that integrates with Shopify.
I primarily use Printful for most of my products, but their socks seem to be overpriced and low quality, same with Printify.
I’m specifically looking for streetwear/athletic socks that are breathable (preferably cotton-based), as I’m not a fan of disposable apparel and definitely don’t want my customers’ feet to stink!
Is it still possible to run a sustainable POD sock business in terms of both materials and cost-profit balance?
