 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
So I am a bit confused about socks. I think there are some people here who would say that Nevica socks you can buy at Sports direct are poor quality - but the materials are 51% Merino Wool, 46% Nylon and 3% Lycra Elastane. That's decent, right? What am I missing?

You're probably missing nothing. Some socks will have extra cushioning on the shin etc. and will charge 3x the price but will they be 3x as good? I doubt it. Expensive socks may be marginally better but not worth the money in comparison to the specification of the Nevicas. Just check if the seams might give you grief and don't get thin socks if you suffer in the cold.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Brand snobbery, that's what you're missing.

how do they wash?
ive bought socks that have gone in the bin after one wash.
TKMaxx had some Salomon a few years £15 for 2 pairs. They have lasted me 3 years & still hold their shape & elastic compression

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Yeah good point, I don't know how they wash. They are quite thin and I do feel the cold (although when buying boots recently, the guy fitting them said to go for thin, smartwool socks and these are basically the same composition).
Oh well, i'll keep a look out for discounted brand names and see how i go.

I saw them at them at the weekend, looked OK, just a bit thick.

Previous years' Aldi ones have been good, although these look slightly different in the pics. To avoid the scrum on Thursday you can order online with free delivery.
