Colorful & Loud

We made giving socks cool again. And we are giving you over 3,500 reasons why!

Europe's widest sock range on Europe's longest shopping street: At ei4 Socks, over 3,500 different sock designs from various countries are on the shelves. In total, we have over 93,000 pairs of socks in stock - about two-thirds are in our Super Sock Center, while the rest are distributed among the smaller branches. Merino wool for days when you do not want to think about your feet. Alpaca wool when it gets truly icy. And particularly breathable bamboo socks for the summer. Your loved ones will thank you. Colorful socks that make a statement without screaming. Animal motifs from honeybees to wild boars, plus everything in between you can imagine. A highlight is our creative gift sets, which look like the result of weeks of brainstorming. We are happy to have done that for you. Licensed designs from pop culture including Star Wars, Harry Potter, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and more. Plus, our art socks bring famous works by artists like Banksy, Picasso, and Van Gogh directly to your feet. Three sock shops right on the Hauptstrasse in Heidelberg's old town - no franchise, no corporation, no chain store. A local Heidelberg company, grown here and stayed here. Come by, your feet deserve better.

The Legacy of the Palatinate

Surrounded by centuries of history, you will find the modern pearls of Heidelberg's remembrance culture at our shops.

The Postcard Dilemma

"Elizabeth Charlotte of the Palatinate wrote over 60,000 letters to her relatives from Versailles. And you have not even sent a postcard to Grandma? Do not worry, our souvenir shops are here to help."

Students since 1386

"In 1386, the University of Heidelberg was founded. This means: for over 600 years, students here have been inventing highly creative excuses as to why they unfortunately cannot make it to the lecture in the morning."

Perkeo & The Great Tun

"220,000 liters of wine fit into the Great Tun in the castle. When the court dwarf Perkeo was asked if he could empty it alone, he only replied: 'Perche no?' (Why not?). Pure Heidelberg pragmatism."
