On occasion when one throws on a pair of socks in the morning, their toes might meet some new holes that were created from wear and tear. This problem all comes down to the quality of the brand one is buying from.
When going out to buy new pieces of clothing, it is the best idea to get your money’s worth. While socks vary in price and quantity, it is important to know that the money for these accessories is getting spent well because the last thing anyone wants to happen is new holes forming within a week.
One of the most popular sock brands known for its high-quality sports gear is Nike. I rate this brand of socks to be a 6/10 because they last for about two weeks before they start showing signs of wear and tear. Price-wise these socks are not too expensive, so the money spent is not necessarily going towards quality because these socks cost about $24 for six individual pairs. If one is planning on buying a pack of these socks, they should keep in mind that they will most likely be returning to the store to buy some more.
Next up while this brand of socks tends to be more on the spendy side. Lululemon makes great quality socks for everyday wear and athletic needs. I rate this brand a 9/10 because while they are super durable and high quality, and they are a costly alternative in comparison to some other brands. These socks like many others come in a great variety of colors and styles, while all having built-in compression.
With mainly positive reviews, another comfortable and high-quality brand of socks is Bombas. While leaning on the more expensive side, an individual can purchase 8 pairs of these socks for about $100. Their mission is to give back one pair of socks/underwear to homeless people for every purchase made. A great benefit of these socks is that they eliminate the annoying toe seam on the tip of the toe, and they create a unique arch support system. Overall, I have rated these socks a 9/10 because just like Lululemon, they are constructed with great comfort but are not budget-friendly.
Last but not least, Adidas socks are a good purchase because not only are they cost-effective but they also offer great durability. The reinforced toe and heel areas ensure that these socks hold up exceptionally well over time and with this comes a lack in the formation of holes. Overall, I rate Adidas socks a 10/10 because of their lastingness and performance when used frequently.
Wrapping it up, when it comes to high-quality socks, Lululemon, Adidas, Bombas and Nike each bring their unique capabilities to the table. Whether it is performance, comfort or style, these brands have proven that a good pair of socks can be just as essential as the shoes one wears.
