Aldi likes to follow trends. That means we see the discount grocery store stock keto-friendly products, unicorn-themed toys and treats, glass-door cabinets, wine Advent calendars, knockoff Chik-fil-A food, and more.
And if there’s anything we’ve learned during the last few years, it’s that Aldi fans are devoted and eager. Because Aldi always keeps tabs on what’s trending, that has to be why they rolled out a new line of limited-edition Aldi fan gear, which Aldi refers to as its Aldi Gear Capsule Collection. This product line includes Aldi-branded socks, hydration bottles, pajamas, pet toys, and sandals.
I picked up the water bottle and several pairs of the socks to try. The socks come in an impressive array of styles, with something for everyone whether you prefer low cut or ankle socks or taller crew socks.

Aldi Men’s and Ladies’ Crew Socks and Low Cut Socks (Product Code: 706093) cost $3.99 for a two-pack at the time of publication.
These are Aldi Finds, which means they’re only in stores for a short time. You can’t order them online if they aren’t in stock at your local store.
Here’s more information on the socks, according to Aldi:
- Available in Crew or Low Cut lengths
- Socks are composed of 98% polyester and 2% elastane
- Socks have elasticated cuffs and toe/heel reinforcements with colorful jacquards on each sock
- Available in assorted styles of Men’s or Ladies’ ALDI Fan or Pun options
- Men’s socks fit shoe sizes 6-12 and ladies’ socks fit shoe sizes 4-10
- OEKO-TEX certified
- Made in China
The packaging states to wash once before wearing, using cold water and washing with like colors. Tumble dry on low heat.

My husband and I both tried on the various men’s and ladies’ socks, and they fit well and are soft. They are on the thin side, so they’re not that warm, and I’m not sure how long they’ll last, but that’s our only complaint. It’s pretty funny to wear socks with the Aldi logo emblazoned across the soles or “Aldi all day” printed around the cuff. These are definitely a conversation starter wherever you might find yourself going in your stocking feet.
The Verdict:
Aldi Men’s and Ladies’ Crew Socks and Low Cut Socks are part of the Aldi Gear Capsule Collection and come in several designs. Some feature the word “Aldi” printed on the bottom of the feet, while others have “Aldi all day” printed around the cuff or they have the Aldi logo printed on top of the foot. They’re on the thin side, but otherwise these are a fun nod to our favorite grocery store.
