Complain here about bad socks!!

[bucolic_frolic]

Socks are half the thickness of 1990. They wear out fast and provide little cushioning! Together with shoes built on molded memory soles but without arch support (like 1990 shoes), we will be a nation of FLAT FEET! Podiatrists are ecstatic! This is really bad and painful. Maybe it's a conspiracy to sell size 13 sneakers?

1. Solution (serious) for you:

darntough.com

serious.

100% lifetime warranty (i have used it and they honor it)

[we can do it]

16. Unless wool breaks out your feet, then feetures.

2. I once knew a cat named Socks

But no complaints.

But I'll check my sock drawer and see what I can pull up.

3. There are several companies that sell decent socks.

Darn Tough makes a wide variety of socks - not just hiking, but lifestyle socks too. They are expensive but have a lifetime warranty. I have a bunch of lightweight hikers, a few running pairs, and 4-5 pairs for when I go to the office.

Balega and Bombas make decent socks too. I wear both brands for running. Bombas also makes socks for dress shoes that are quite comfy. Bombas also donates a pair for every one sold. Some of my Balega socks are 4-5 years old and are still in great shape.

9. Bombas donated 10,000 pairs of socks to the Presbyterian Night Shelter in Fort Worth

I love those socks!! Comfortable, great colors, NO TOE SEAM, heels don't get baggy and they last a long time.
The athletic socks are great! I especially like the golf socks in the Texas heat

4. I don't wear socks. Living in Fl my feet would be too hot.

I do wear those sneaker socks sometimes. I know men generally have to wear them if they're working in an office.

5. Best compression socks.

6. I hear what your saying and agree. I tend to spend a bit and buy a few pairs and rotate them often, like shoes

Merlino wool blend is my fav. I never heard of darn tough and it looks interesting. A bit more expensive but a
lifetime warranty? that's great. Plus it's a family company which is what I like to support also.
Now if I could find a car/truck with those credentials...Hummmmm

7. Duluth trading

They have some high quality socks along with some seriously good work and sport clothing.

8. I like Thorlos

A little pricey but they have good cushioning. I’ve been wearing them for decades. I’ll have to take a look at Darn Tough.

[Iggo]

11. I especially like the ones where you can see the tops of you toes through the material.

Except I’m a goddam liar!

I go Wolverine boot socks when I can find them. And when I do, I buy a LOT of them.

12. We had to wear knee socks

In school, but I had a pair that slipped under my heels

[bucolic_frolic]

13. What do you mean by "slipped under your heels"?

I'm trying to visualize but it's not coming through. You mean they lost elastic and fell to your ankles?

[XanaDUer2]

14. Yes they were butter yellow

With a pattern, thin. They werr new, but wouldn't stay up. This was in the 70s
