Gumball Poodle got its start in Los Angeles in 2008 with a modest collection of knee socks featuring fun words and bold color, and rapidly expanded its offerings from there–including dress socks, ankle socks, and gym socks. Currently making gym socks and debuting grip socks in July, 2026 (with a new innovative woven-in grip yarn), the brand now has over 175 styles to choose from, and is sold in thousands of retail stores worldwide. Nearly twenty years later Gumball Poodle remains small, independent, and woman-owned – proudly making every pair of socks right here in the USA.
