MAXHOSA socks and Sock Shop pairs sit at very different listed price points in the South African stores checked for this guide. On 1 November 2026, MAXHOSA AFRICA showed selected socks at R400, while Sock Shop listed its pairs at R110 each. The numbers are useful context, but the products have different designs and brand positioning, so the comparison is not a claim that they are interchangeable.
This is an independent guide to publicly listed prices. Sock Shop is not affiliated with MAXHOSA AFRICA, and MAXHOSA products are not sold by Sock Shop.
MAXHOSA and Sock Shop prices at a glance
ELIHLE – MSOCK 17 by MAXHOSA AFRICA
The official product page listed this sock product at R400.
Sock Shop listed pairs
Sock Shop’s live shop listed individual pairs at R110 each.
The listed prices differ by R290, but the MAXHOSA product details shown at the time of checking do not explicitly state pack quantity. For that reason, this guide does not convert the MAXHOSA listing to a per-pair price or present the products as a like-for-like comparison. The numbers are a snapshot of two listed products, not a judgement about quality, construction, design value or the makers’ work.
A distinctive Sock Shop alternative
If your priority is choosing a graphic or playful pair for an everyday outfit or gift, Sock Shop’s collection offers individual designs across animal, food, nature and classic styles. The live shop listed pairs at R110 in the price check recorded here. Product pages show details for each pair, with secure PayFast checkout, delivery within South Africa and collection in Heathfield. MAXHOSA’s designer collection serves a different style and price preference; Sock Shop is a practical alternative when you want expressive socks with a clear single-pair listing.
Why the prices are not directly equivalent
MAXHOSA AFRICA positions itself as a fashion and lifestyle label, and its sock collection features its own designs. For example, the ELIHLE – MSOCK 17 listing is R400, states 72% cotton, 25% Lycra, 2% nylon and 1% elastane, and says it is made in South Africa. Sock Shop’s range includes colourful graphic, novelty and classic pairs. They speak to different design preferences and brand choices, so price alone cannot establish equivalent material, construction, sizing or care.
Delivery and checkout charges can also change the total. Check the delivery information shown by each store before comparing your final basket. Prices may change after the date of this snapshot.
What can you buy at Sock Shop’s listed price?
Sock Shop’s live shop lists individual pairs at R110 in the check recorded here. Designs include the classic Classic Argyle Pair Socks, the floral Blue Iris Flower Pair Socks, and the playful Hanging Sloth Pair Socks. Each product page is the source for its current design, material, sizing, price and stock information.
