Gold Toe Brands, Inc.

Gold Toe Brands, Inc.
Gold Toe Brands, Inc., is the third largest United States-based producer of socks. It makes more than half of the men's dress socks sold in department stores in the United States and produces more than 140 million pairs of socks annually. Gold Toe socks are on the American Podiatric Medical Association's approved list of brands for foot health.

The company's operations headquarters is located in Burlington, North Carolina, with executive headquarters in New York City. Gold Toe Brands, Inc., has shifted much of its manufacturing to China, particularly Zhejiang province. This attracted criticism from author Ted C. Fishman in China, Inc: How the Rise of the Next Superpower Challenges America and the World, who notes that although the Gold Toe Brands website boasts that its socks are made by skilled workers and inspected for quality, those workers "are likely to be migrant farm women toiling in the Zhejiang sock factories".
