“I have reached an age where if someone tells me to wear socks, I don't have to.” Albert Einstein
We wouldn’t dare tell Dr. Einstein that he has to wear socks…but we think that if he’d ever worn the World’s Softest® Classic socks that he’d have never made that statement! You don’t have to be a genius to appreciate the phenomenal softness of these socks. These socks are thick, cushiony, and undeniably soft – hence our name. They feature a reinforced heel & toe, flat knit toe seam, and tops that stay up without slipping or binding...all those things that make our socks so comfortable that they become your favorite thing to wear.
We don’t know much about quantum physics…we just make the world’s softest socks.

I ordered 5 pair of the new socks in brown . They were clos to the original. I just ordered 10 more. They have taken the comments seriously & the last five were very good. They could in my opinion make them a little smaller for a size large. (Posted on 10/24/14)Rating - color and quality Review by ronald

They don't have beige color and it seems like the quality isn't the same. I would order them by the dozens as they were great socks. (Posted on 8/11/14)Rating - NOT WHAT I'M USED TO. Review by Jerry

i called customer service and she explained that they are in the process of knitting the classic collections with the new yarn. she also said that they had sent out samples to wear testers within the last 6 months and that the wear testers felt that the new yarn was a lot like the yarn they used for years before the yarn company filed bankruptcy. the new socks should be available some time in September and they would put it on the website when they are available.

I bought about 35 pair of these socks for myself many years ago as well as many more for my family. I was interested in re placing what I believed to be the worlds best sock with new ones. Thanks to the reviews I have read I will be looking else where for my next purchase. THANK-YOU for saving me the head ache. I truly am disappointed. (Posted on 5/17/14)Rating - okay Review by ken

These used to be marketed under the name brand "Columbia." Mother Boyle's softest sock. They are not now. At least the same mill's name is on both. The only complaint I had with my last order is prior to washing, I turned them inside out and there was (after the washing) a lot of loose string. Otherwise, I like them. The white seemed to be appreciably better quality than the gray. I will order again. (Posted on 4/11/14)Rating - Quality Disappointment Review by C

I have purchased dozens of pairs of men's & women's classic socks over the years with the latest purchase in Dec. 2013.Rating
Only starting to wear the latest batch recently I first thought, based on the sloppy fit, that I had mixed up the sizes. I now realize that the quality is not the same and the World's Softest logo no longer appears on the foot -either on the side or across the toe- but has been replaced with a cloud emblem on the sole. As well reinforcement location on the sole has changed. The fit has changed, the warmth has changed and it has become a much lesser quality product.
Is there any intent to return to the previous product or, to my regret, will I have to search for another supplier?

Forgot to include my email in the last posting in case someone could recommend a good replacement for these (trying to get something similar to the original thick Worlds Softest Socks - instead of the cheap thin replacements that are now being sold). Email address: insprion@flash.netRating
Does anyone know a company that would do a special order for me if I ordered a large quantity? (Posted on 3/29/14) - Trying to find substitue for original thick World's Softest Socks Review by Russell
-
I have worn these for years and in the last few years the Hanes company seriously downgraded the quality and thickness of the socks. They told me that they were going to start making the original thickness in Oct of 2013, but my recent 3-2014 order still had the same thin cheap junk that I had to return. PLEASE can someone help me find a good substitute for the original nice thick socks that I loved for years. (Posted on 3/29/14)Rating
