Review on Stylish and Comfortable: MAGIARTE Women's Soft Cotton Ankle Socks in an Assorted 6 & 12-Pack by Chris Norman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm trying to make a quality product but it doesn't meet my needs

I was looking forward to these socks. The description seemed to match what I needed and these are socks to sleep in. In general, my feet get cold no matter how many blankets I use. So I want the socks NOT to be too tight, they should be soft AND they shouldn't be too warm. They are also attached more firmly with more elastic material, making the sock fit more snugly on the foot; I believe these socks can be very helpful for supporting a medium sized foot but may be too tight for sleeping. The thickness of the fabric seems almost right for my needs: not too heavy (but a little flimsy). First, I'm broad-boned and not overweight, so things don't always suit me the way they do for people of average build; Of course it's not the socks. Unfortunately these socks are too tight around my ankle and haven't even been washed yet which I think will continue to shrink them. I think the manufacturer should make a very large version that would serve us bigger girls as well as men who want to wear this kind of low ankle socks maybe as summer wear or in their sports/hiking shoes. The rubber band is really strong; I believe this may help keep them from slipping in shoes when worn in normal day-to-day conditions, which I'm pretty sure they were actually designed for (i.e. for a different purpose). In addition, the fabric will be scratched; I have sensitive skin and would have to wear these socks inside out and the outside is still a little scratchy. More importantly, these socks have a spiked seam INSIDE the sock, just above the toes. I HATE socks with seams on my toes and I reach for socks that protect those toes from those nasty and scratchy seams. I need SOFT, COZY socks to sleep (and walk) comfortably. They can become softer after washing if the right care product helps. But those toe bites—it seems—last a long time and will irritate until the socks are worn down or discarded in frustration at all the discomfort those toes seem to evoke in delicate skin. Personal preference aside, they appear to be a product that has taken considerable effort to "design with the customer in mind"; For that reason, I would wholeheartedly recommend it to those who don't have issues like me, and this isn't the socks' fault. I also appreciate that the company sent me a message through Revain asking for feedback. It's nice to speak to a company that really cares what we think of their product and I thank them for that.

Pros
