Most by now have seen their ads on TV. Don't believe them. Their socks are way over priced and are Not the size they represent. I got this pair of men's size 15. I wear a size 13 extra wide, so these were supposed to fit easily. New and unwashed they were about a men's 9. My wife, who wears a woman's 10, said they fit her about right. After I Stretched them on and wore them once, and they were washed, they look like this. Their ads and claims are outright lies. Beware of buying $23.00/pair socks from them. They were expensive socks for my wife.

I'd never trust a brand with that name.

Jeebus.....clip your damn toenails. Someone said mine look like white cheddar tater chips or some such. Windridge's ain't a whole lot better. for thick socks. Costco merino wool ones. For thin socks, George brand from the nearest Wallys. Made in the USA the last time I bought any. Not sure, but I don't think I ever bought a pair of socks anywhere near $20+ windridge. Sorry about your bad experience with them. Thanks for posting, maybe someone else will avoid the issue. After all, that's kinda what this forum should be about. not jokin' about folks' toenails!

My wife jumped on me about needing to trim them, so no umbrage taken.

Why in the fugg would anybody be stupid enough to pay $23 for a pair of socks in the first place? I mean, what the he’ll do they do for you that a regular pair of socks for a buck wouldn’t? Who gives a flying rat turd if they’re sized? They just need to be close enough which 99.9% of all socks sold are within the range they are marked. Guess what I’ve got tons of socks and never gave a second thought to making sure they were exactly sized like shoes. They don't have to be. They’re socks.

There really is a sucker born every minute... I have a major problem with my left foot, and I can't find socks over the counter that fit well enough to not cause discomfort. I have to buy a larger size pair of shoes and use the left one for that foot, and a smaller size pair for my right foot to get one that fits it. I wouldn't pay $23.00 for these, either. They were bigly discounted, probably discontinued due to the pattern not selling. You'r generalization is typical.

Son of a bitch, you don't need socks, you need a bucket. It's a biatch now that gunny sacks are hard to find, and they take a bunch of fabric softener and washes, so it makes them expensive, too.

Quality sox are worth the price, if they fit. Smartwool stuff is well worth the price for me.
