BDI Supporting Local Manufacturer with BDI Socks
It’s rare that you can go to work every day wearing the same clothes as some of the world’s top athletes – unless you work at Burke Development, Inc.
Thanks to local sock manufacturer DeFeet International, the employees at BDI have unique footwear emblazoned with the BDI logo.
DeFeet International produces performance lightweight and durable socks for cycling, running and multisport activities. Praised for their comfort and resiliency DeFeet socks are worn by some of the world’s top athletes.
“It’s great to support a local manufacturer,” said BDI President Scott Darnell. “DeFeet produces some of the most amazing socks in the world. They are fun to wear and extremely comfortable, I wear them to the office everyday!”
DeFeet was founded in 1992 by self proclaimed Chief Sockologist Shane Cooper, who works hard to make sure the company stays creative and innovative. His first sock, the Aireator, was the first open mesh weave airflow design sock. He followed up on his early success by producing Coolmax EcoMade, a fiber recycled from plastic bottles.
