TH Mills TH Mills has a 67 year history of manufacturing top quality, industry leading sock products in the USA. The company, founded by the Thorneburg family in 1953 and located in Statesville, North Carolina, began as a contract manufacturer making socks for the US Military and private label brands such as Izod®, FootJoy® and Justin Boot®.

In 1978, TH Mills introduced the Thorlos® brand which was the first sport and activity-specific sock brand: Running and Tennis socks being the original products. TH Mills was granted multiple patents on the variable density terry padding as a way of providing greater foot protection, foot comfort and a better fitting sock. The Thorlos brand was built on the consumer experience resulting from this innovative knitting technology. This launched the company and the brand on a 40 year mission to provide preventive and therapeutic sock product solutions for foot protection, comfort and foot health issues.

The patented fabric used in Thorlos was the subject of 8 peer reviewed, published clinical studies that showed the fabric to significantly reduce friction blisters, pressure and pain, and also to move moisture better than normal socks. To this day, no other sock product has published this type of clinical evidence supporting their product claims. Today TH Mills manufactures sock products for more than 2 dozen different activities in the sports, work, leisure and therapeutic footwear categories.

More recently, TH Mills introduced the Experia® performance running and sports sock brand in 2009. Experia combines much higher needle count (thinner) variable density padding with high tech fiber technology to produce sock products that offer a high level of support, are extremely light weight and offer a high level of moisture management benefits. Experia has become one of the largest selling running socks of all time.
