Review on Yomandamor Men'S 5 Pack Bamboo Mid-Calf Dress Socks,Size 10-13 by Tommy Abreu

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I hate socks, but love these.

I'm going to start by saying I hate socks. I hate spending money on socks, I hate that it's a requirement that I have to maintain. I also basically never by socks. I've had the same dress socks for years, and I've hated them every single day for all of those years. But. like I said, I hate spending money on socks. Now. with that said. These are incredible. My husband and I started on a "minimalistic" home journey and with that we decided to minimize our wardrobes as well. I work 5 days a week in suits, and do laundry every weekend so I never need more than 5 pairs of dress socks. So, I threw every single pair of socks I own in the garbage. I could've donated. but I didnt want to subject anyone else to the misery of those pieces of garage socks. Anyways, I threw them all away. jumped on Best Buy and battled through the misery of sock shopping. Hating every second of it and be annoyed that I had to spend my precious time actually doing this, I went back and forth between some "name brand" socks because I knew the quality would be there, and these because they have good reviews. I settled on these because it gave me 3 black, one grey and one Navy (which i'll get to in a minute). Got my socks in the mail on Sunday, washed them and wore them on Monday. If you have any doubts about buy these, don't. They are amazing. They are the opposite of everything I hated about my other socks. I'm a woman with large feet, 10 1/2 - 11, and most women's dress socks that I've found are super short and thin and lose their elasticity around the calf after a few wears. I've only had these a week so I can't speak to that, but I can say that these are amazing, super soft, slick (but not slippery), comfortable, tight enough to feel good but not overly tight, and most amazing, they are tall and don't slip down throughout the day. I searched for a set that didn't have navy blue, because they are almost always too close in color to the black and I hate trying to pair them up, I shouldn't have to spend time matching my dress socks. ridiculous. Anyways, I took a chance and I"m pleased to say there is a pretty good difference in the color of these, making it almost impossible to mix them up and run into the situation where you show up to the morning meeting with one black and one navy sock. not saying that's ever happened. but it has. Now I can just open my drawer, grab a pair of socks and leave. No thought, just action. Hopefully this review helps someone like me who thinks sock shopping is the absolute biggest waste of time.
