Have the 'Sockshop' chain of shops closed down?......could not see any in London's Oxford Street.....

Question

.......maybe I missed them, but there were a few branches before

Answer 1

Yet another store , gone by the sounds of it , they were mainly placed in airports

Answer 2

Alas, the one in Kings X has gone, too.

I think they closed down a couple of years ago, but for what reason I do not know.

The world is a sorrier place without them, though.

Answer 3

They branched out into shoes.

The sock market is a slow business.

Rest in peace socks, rest in peace.

Answer 4

I think you could be right. There used to be a couple in Manchester but I haven't seen them lately... it's all Knickerbox now!!

Answer 5

Yeah they've gone.  The fashion for wearing psychedelic socks or Burlingtons is very much over.

Ravel is soon to depart the high street as well and am not in the least bit surprised as their quality of shoes has plummeted considerably over the years.

Answer 6
