I bought my son a package of socks like about 3 weeks ago. This morning, I saw one already has a hole in them! I was not too happy. Can you suggest which brands of socks are the best? I guess I'll have to pay a little more.. so much for saving money!

100 % " gold toe " socks are the best. kohls has them sometimes, but by the time they put them out their gone again. they do have a web site and might be able to tell you where in your area you can get them or just buy some online, goldtoesocks.com

I know where a Kohl's is. I'll have to check it out to see if they carry that brand. I sure hope so because I'm tired of socks that don't last a couple of weeks!!

I have bought lots of different brands and find that one sock gets a hole in it alot. I think it is how a person stands and if they put more pressure on the right or left foot. Of course, socks don't get a hole in one wearing,,,well, I guess they could but it would because something else happened. Anyway, although socks don't have a right or left foot to them if they actually got worn on the same foot then I can see how they got worn out. I did laundry last week and was noticing how many socks had holes in them and was just thinking WHY? and then you have this discussion. I handed my husband a stack of socks and he said whats wrong with them and I had to tell him they had holes. OOH I think part of it, if it is in the toe is if someone doesn't cut their toe nails and they get long and sharp. thanks for the discussion. I've talked to you before. Have a nice day.

ooh up by the band. I would say in the quality of the socks. I have gotten to where I think quality is everything and just better to buy the brand name. I just bought my husband a new package and they are Hanes. I was in Kmart a few years ago and they had white denim jeans and I really liked them. I got a pair and then notice that there was a rip in the inseam, so I put them back and got a different pair then noticed somewhere in he inseam in ALL of the jeans there was a rip...I didn't buy any! Don't remember the brand name.

This hole wasn't even in the usual trouble spots. It was up by the band! That's why I got so upset! Guess I'm going to have to spend more dough on the next package!! It's good to talk to you again.

There is a line of socks called "Golden Toe". They can be purchase through some of the larger department stores (Sears, JC Pennys) that are good. Look for the work line of socks versus the athletic line, typically the work line is more reinforce and hold up better.

I'll be checking those out. I can probably look them up on line to find a place that carries them here in this area!

I am not sure I have ever heard of that brand. I am to the place I am willing to spend more for quality that's for sure! I did have a high dollar brand of running sock one time. It got a hole in it like the second or third time I wore them! So I guess I'll just have to experiment.

I haven't bought socks lately, but I look (and very hard) for anything made in the USA. Not even sure the USA makes socks anymore, and if it doesn't, it should.
