“I have reached an age where if someone tells me to wear socks, I don't have to.” Albert Einstein

The real thing is back along with the Made in USA note. Buy with confidence if that byline appears. (Posted on 2/27/14)Rating - quality change? Review by Julie
- Several years ago, I ordered several pairs of women's crew socks and was very pleased and happy with the quality of the product. However, after reading recent reviews regarding how the quality of the socks has changed, I will reconsider. (Posted on 2/13/14)
- quality has decreased Review by Otha

I noticed all the good reviews were either new customers or reviewed prior to 2013. I have been wearing worlds softest for over 20 years and I would rate them a 5 until my most recent purchase. Very disappointing to say the least. These new socks are not the same as the old socks. I don't what they did but something is different. They are not as soft and the sole is not as padded as the old. They also tend to be eaten by the shoe. I like to lounge around the house in my socks. The old sock kept my feet warm. These do not. They also tend to slide off the end of my feet. Please I beg you to go back to how you used to make these. I rather pay $1.00 for the old quality.

I thought I had my sock problem solved for my lifetime. When I ordered this time, I could not find my previous style, then I saw the cringe producing statement MADE IN KOREA. I tried them anyway--too thin, they cover your foot,they don't envelop it, much thinner and less comfortable. After trying these, I returned to the website to check other styles. I found one made in USA but they were out of my size. I will try again once more later to see if my size and still Made in USA has returned but ,if not, no more after that.

I have purchased the classic socks for a few years now. My most recent purchase was disappointing and not sure I would purchase again unless they go back to the origianal quality. Not only are they lower in quality but this is the first time they made my feet stink! I can't stand to take my shoes off after wearing this new batch of socks.

My last order late 2011 was great.Rating
My newest order in Dec 2013 was not the same quality.
1. Noticeably thinner.
2. Slightly irritating to the bottom of my feet.
3. Care instructions are different. Was wash warm-tumble dry medium. Now wash cold-tumble dry low.
The contents on old and new socks remain the same. 74% Acrylic-24% Nylon-1% Polyester-1% Lycra.
One or more of the contents must be coming from a different source (cheaper?)
PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE go back to the original socks. (Posted on 12/20/13) - Best Socks for My Problem Feet Review by Abby

I've been tortured with flat feet, walking on the inner side of my feet, etc. No socks had ever provided comfort....................'TILL NOW!!!!Rating
A small kiosk of Classic Crews (in a boutique) caught my eye. Bought a pair, put on the socks, walked around, and bought some more. Soon found my way to the WSS homepage and felt like a kid in a candy store. So many styles and designs, ooh yeah. It's been (2) two months since my discovery and I just ordered some more. These are the only socks ever to cushion my feet; no chafing anywhere!
Classic crews are my favorite...with Cozy crews right behind. (Posted on 11/30/13) - Just feels great. Review by Alex B

I have been wearing these socks for decades. The last order -- absolutely sucked? Thinner, shorter, etc. What happened to the quality? Notable and I mean Notable difference. Keep them the same they had been. Would gladly pay more! (Posted on 4/30/13)Rating - Lower quality than my original orders. Review by Wayne

I have to say that I am terribly disappointed with my last batch of "Classic Crew" socks. I've ordered batches of these socks several times in the past, but have found the the quality I received this time were MUCH lower in quality than my first two batches. Not only that, the tops are shorter than before, and do not stay up nearly as well as the original design. I have been told by an employee there that "for the past 25 years the socks have not changed." However, the quality (overall thickness, as well as heel and toe) is sadly less than my previous expectations. I've loved these in the past, but I am very, very disappointed now. I am not yet convinced that I should purchase more in the future... (Posted on 4/29/13)Rating
