Pretty Good Sock Review by Wayne

Rating

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)

Quality Disappointment Review by C

Rating

I have purchased dozens of pairs of men's & women's classic socks over the years with the latest purchase in Dec. 2013.
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?

Worlds Softest Socks Review by Russell

Rating

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.net
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

Rating

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)

The real thing is back along with the Made in USA note. Buy with confidence if that byline appears. (Posted on 2/27/14)

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

Rating

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. (Posted on 2/9/14)

disappointing Review by Waymil

Rating

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. (Posted on 1/29/14)

Letting down your loyal customers? Review by Kathee

Rating

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. (Posted on 1/7/14)
