I have six pairs of old master socks and they are the best I have ever owned. I bought these new models and they are terrible. Old socks seemed heavenly to me, like slippers. These new ones are thin and crappy made. I want to buy some of the old socks. Why a champion changed something good is beyond me. The older style has a C on the top of the sock and is white. You can also feel the difference between new and old socks outside of the packaging. My old socks lasted over three years. In summary, it is like the difference between day and night. A bad champion shouldn't have changed anything good. What's even more annoying is that they're more expensive than the old talk of banging your head. I don't blame the seller who sold me the socks.
