    so many factors, wear and tear, detergent used , fabric softener, QUALITY of the sock, etc. Go to sockworld. you might find something in your price range.

    Just remember, "You get what you pay for."


    http://www.sockworld.net/

    is this some kind of sick joke to you?
    :lol::lol::lol::lol: who knew? I really meant an actual store that doesn't exist called sockworld. THAT was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better!!! :mrgreen:

    select your favorite department store

    locate the sock aisle

    purchase a package of socks that fit your needs

    take selection to register and exchange american currency for said socks

    at the appropriate time, take one (1) pair of socks and put one (1) sock onto each foot*

    enjoy your new socks



    * -(most socks are unisex but occasionally you will run into a pair of socks that are right or left...note note of this before putting socks on)

    american
    currency? so cate frances is full of shit then? i knew it. they don't have socks in australia. this is bullshit. :x

    was there ever any doubt?

    5+ years. But I don't wear one pair all day - I teach aerobics, and usually teach 2x per day, so I'll have gone through 3 pairs by the end of the day. Adidas socks are nice.

    oh jeagler...unless you are planning on importing said socks, i will assume you will be paying in american dollars...however, these could have been made in a foreign country so might be supporting child slave labor...there are ethical issues here jeags!

    i need to know more about this aerobics class norm. the fact that cate francis' offspring are constructing our country's socks is not important right now.

    At least a year, usually longer though. Then again, I wear them until I can fit all of my toes through the hole in the front.

    I have socks from 20 years ago in good condition....because I'm with cate...I hate wearing socks.

    I pretty much only have black socks.. Well, even with the coloured socks I have, I can't remember the purchase date. :think: Soo, this post is useless, but I'd estimate my socks last a year at least.

    EDIT: I also don't keep my socks on shelves so I guess that makes my whole post invalid.
