Review on Smartwool Womens Everyday Jovian Stripe by John Anaya

I am a huge fan of Smartwool and have been wearing their socks for over 20 years and this is the first time I have come across a defective sock , but two pairs from two different sellers had the same manufacturing defect. There is traction in the calf of each sock. You can tell when you open the box: the stripes don't match on any of the socks, and there's a raised seam on the inside and outside of the sock. You can feel the defect so I don't think they would be comfortable and even if it were just cosmetic it would be ugly. The whole point of paying an incredible amount for Smartwool is the quality and they don't live up to their standards.
