@placecm I’d be more concerned by the Amazon reviews that say these socks run small for their size. (I have size 12s and have had trouble with undersized socks (and shoes) before.) If not for that, I probably would have ordered some of these. (I need something besides caffeine to help me wake up in the mornings.)
@phendrick@placecm That’s good news for me. I’m barely a size 6, which means that “fits 6-12” usually means “fits 7 or 8 well, 6 will be baggy and slipping around”. You can make your own joke here.
@placecm At this point, purchasing from Amazon is also starting to have the moral cost of giving money to a retail-and-tech empire that has grown way too big and powerful for the good of society. Don’t forget to factor that in.
This is one of those deals that I would have purchased immediately if you didnt make me think about which set I wanted. Once I had a minute to think about it, I decided against it.
@ConAndLibrarian-Look at the picture, my man, as you count the socks in the picture think about how many you get for $18!! In other words, you get all of them; there’s No picking, No choosing!! Duh¡¡
@ConAndLibrarian Even though I wear a size 13w shoe I was going to try these, until I saw there were several sets to choose from. Invariably when this happens I notice there are some styles in each set that I like much better than the others. It’s frustrating that I can’t make up my own set, and the whole proposition isn’t worth the bother. They wouldn’t have fit me anyway, and yes the trapped were probably sour anyway. imho
@RiotDemon-Well, I’ll be dam; you’r right. This is the 2nd time I’ve had to apologize for being both wrong & plum fuckin dumb. My Bad. I went back to check the other photos, so Thanks, for the heads up & sorry for the sacasm!! Again, My Bad!!
My feet are size 13. Do NOT sell undersized socks to oversized people! Ill fitting socks are uncomfortable. You do NOT want large uncomfortable people knowing your URL.
@Everbody- I’m fortunate cause I wear Size 6 shoes, so they fit me at the feet, but I like them over my calf which these don’t do. I did buy some about the last time I bought those from Meh, so I might’ve got them mixed up. Did the other 12 pair go over the calf,…Anybody?
One is that fashion says no socks with sandals, and Crocs may be like sandals.
The other is that fashion also says no Crocs, so you’re already breaking the rules.
My feet sweat and the parts of Crocs that aren’t holes don’t exactly breathe, so I go for socks sometimes. Other times, like if I am wearing them to the lake, no socks. But fashion is not dictating that; whether I am going to want to be barefoot/in some water or just didn’t feel like putting on real shoes dictates that.
Then I have Crocs that are like shoes (with laces and everything) so there goes any rule to cover all Crocs.
@sammydog01 You do you, my friend. I might make some internal noise about mullets or capri pants or whatever, but decent people will let it go. Hell, I keep wearing cargo shorts even though my wife says it’s not cool.
Frankly, your kid is right, fashion-wise, but it’s your feet; I wouldn’t feel too bad about dying on that hill
@sammydog01
If your more comfortable wearing socks with crocs, then wear them. Don’t forget, as a parent it’s your job to embarrass your children with your fashion choices, among other things.
@djslack@ciabelle@RiotDemon@Superllama7@decoratedwarvet@Mothersnakes Thanks for the input- I guess being fashionable just isn’t in my future. Especially since I wear a t-shirt from Woot or Meh every day. And since these are my comfiest pair socks probably can’t make them look any worse. I was curious though.
@terrence- Okay so the last ones Were J Korn. Thanks!! I was looking for that answer! Thank You, Thank You Very Much!! These say they are Zeke though! If J Korn’s are Not over the calf then these are, if J Korn’s are over the calf then these are Not!! Just So You Know!!
This will push the amount of socks I have over 100, but what the Hell, 75-80 + 12, okay, wait that won’t,…never mind! I’ve decided to get them anyway. With over 18-22 Suits & 20 Sport Coats, that’s No Biggy!! As Trump says, “I’m not bragging, Believe Me!!”
$19.99 on Amazon right now (at Meh’s comparison link above), so less expensive with Prime free 2-day delivery. Not a deal. And… polyester.
(Prior regular buyer - Haven’t bought anything here since forever, now.)
I have this strange Meh sock addiction. Whenever Meh socks it to me, I feel compelled to buy 3 of the deal in order to avoid choice, since there are typically 3 varieties for sale. However, today there are 4 and I can only purchase 3 so Meh left me with choices again!!!
Sorry Variation M, you didn’t make the cut. Now I have a totally ludicrous amount of socks (all of which come from Meh) in my collection.
@jds2001 I got my girlfriend to buy my the fourth set. Between these and the ones from July, I now have enough pairs of fun socks to be able to wear a different pair every day for like two months. (Incidentally, it appears as though seven pairs from the July deal match with pairs from this deal.)
I want a set but I haven’t even washed the last set I got a month or so ago. I don’t even wear fancy clothes that would warrant me wearing it socks like these – but I still want this…
Dang it! I was all set to see Larry Niven’s Puppeteers, maybe buy one. But these? Sure, they have two heads. BUT THEY ARE A PAIR of socks, not a two-headed alien. Grr.
@karaoke99 It isn’t losing a sock that is annoying, it is trying to make sure I am putting on a matching pair in the mornings.
/giphy ain’t nobody got time
I have bought socks from Meh a few times in the past and they often fall down my right leg. I find this highly annoying. My legs are the same damn size! I don’t limp! WTF
On a price per unit basis, this wasn’t a bad purchase at all. The socks are a bit thin, as dress socks usually are, but the colors/patterns are excellent. Great to jazz up my drab corporate attire!

This socks.
But if it’s 18 here and 24 on amazon… and amazon shipping is usually free but meh’s is 5 bucks… this isn’t really a deal… save a dollar. Meh!
@placecm So order three 12-packs here and save $1 + $6 + $6 = $13. Is that a deal for you, or no deal?
@placecm I’d be more concerned by the Amazon reviews that say these socks run small for their size. (I have size 12s and have had trouble with undersized socks (and shoes) before.) If not for that, I probably would have ordered some of these. (I need something besides caffeine to help me wake up in the mornings.)
@phendrick @placecm That’s good news for me. I’m barely a size 6, which means that “fits 6-12” usually means “fits 7 or 8 well, 6 will be baggy and slipping around”. You can make your own joke here.
@placecm Amazon shipping isn’t free for me unless I spend over $25.
@placecm At this point, purchasing from Amazon is also starting to have the moral cost of giving money to a retail-and-tech empire that has grown way too big and powerful for the good of society. Don’t forget to factor that in.
@lljk a lot of people are shocked that I don’t have Amazon prime. I work retail. I see what it does to retail. No thanks.
@phendrick @placecm They’re now $19.99 on Amazon with prime.
Sir, I believe it may have been made for us.
@phendrick Hmm well if they run small for their size then they might fit woman who mostly get left out of the sock deals.
@Kidsandliz In fact, many of the good reviews of these socks on Amazon came from (self-identified) females, wearing them themselves.
Where’d you get that picture of my legs???
This is one of those deals that I would have purchased immediately if you didnt make me think about which set I wanted. Once I had a minute to think about it, I decided against it.
@ConAndLibrarian-Look at the picture, my man, as you count the socks in the picture think about how many you get for $18!! In other words, you get all of them; there’s No picking, No choosing!! Duh¡¡
@decoratedwarvet there’s four different sets to choose from.
@ConAndLibrarian Even though I wear a size 13w shoe I was going to try these, until I saw there were several sets to choose from. Invariably when this happens I notice there are some styles in each set that I like much better than the others. It’s frustrating that I can’t make up my own set, and the whole proposition isn’t worth the bother. They wouldn’t have fit me anyway, and yes the trapped were probably sour anyway. imho
@ConAndLibrarian @Mothersnakes Uh . . . sour trapped? I suppose that if I were trapped, I’d be sour as well.
@RiotDemon-Well, I’ll be dam; you’r right. This is the 2nd time I’ve had to apologize for being both wrong & plum fuckin dumb. My Bad. I went back to check the other photos, so Thanks, for the heads up & sorry for the sacasm!! Again, My Bad!!
@ConAndLibrarian @rpstrong I typed in “grapes”, as in sour grapes, must have been corrected to “trapped”.
@ConAndLibrarian @Mothersnakes Did you get your autocorrector from the Meh app store?
Time for stocking up, hosiers!
Sock it to me
/image laugh in
I have nothing useful to contribute.
Except to comment that, if I buy any more socks, they will actually and for real come take me away in one of those padded wagons…
How do they compare to the Foot Cardigan socks we’re used to getting?
That’s some top notch sock related fiction in the write up.
A++++++ would read again.
My feet are size 13. Do NOT sell undersized socks to oversized people! Ill fitting socks are uncomfortable. You do NOT want large uncomfortable people knowing your URL.
@Everbody You are so on point! Even if you aren’t a size 13, don’t tell me my wide ass 12’s are going to fit these twig condoms.
@Woody1 That sounds both uncomfortable and ineffective!
@Everbody- I’m fortunate cause I wear Size 6 shoes, so they fit me at the feet, but I like them over my calf which these don’t do. I did buy some about the last time I bought those from Meh, so I might’ve got them mixed up. Did the other 12 pair go over the calf,…Anybody?
@Everbody- I meant the pair I got on 07•25•18 What Brand were they J Krow, or Zeke?
@Everbody @Woody1 “twig condoms”?
Variation: Meh.
Question- is it OK to wear socks with Crocs? My kid says no, Crocs are like sandals. I disagree. Any thoughts?
@sammydog01 your kids are right
@Andrew_B Darn it. Crocs are so sweaty without socks.
@sammydog01 There are two ways to look at this.
One is that fashion says no socks with sandals, and Crocs may be like sandals.
The other is that fashion also says no Crocs, so you’re already breaking the rules.
My feet sweat and the parts of Crocs that aren’t holes don’t exactly breathe, so I go for socks sometimes. Other times, like if I am wearing them to the lake, no socks. But fashion is not dictating that; whether I am going to want to be barefoot/in some water or just didn’t feel like putting on real shoes dictates that.
Then I have Crocs that are like shoes (with laces and everything) so there goes any rule to cover all Crocs.
@sammydog01 The socks aren’t exactly the problem, however…
@sammydog01 you’re already embarrassing them by wearing Crocs, what’s some socks?
@sammydog01 You do you, my friend. I might make some internal noise about mullets or capri pants or whatever, but decent people will let it go. Hell, I keep wearing cargo shorts even though my wife says it’s not cool.
Frankly, your kid is right, fashion-wise, but it’s your feet; I wouldn’t feel too bad about dying on that hill
@sammydog01-Do What You Like!! Forget the old Rules & Make New Ones!! Fuck the Fashion Police!!
@sammydog01
If your more comfortable wearing socks with crocs, then wear them. Don’t forget, as a parent it’s your job to embarrass your children with your fashion choices, among other things.
@djslack @ciabelle @RiotDemon @Superllama7 @decoratedwarvet @Mothersnakes Thanks for the input- I guess being fashionable just isn’t in my future. Especially since I wear a t-shirt from Woot or Meh every day. And since these are my comfiest pair socks probably can’t make them look any worse. I was curious though.
@sammydog01 I think you need group Z to match those Crocs.
I wish I could see a bigger image of the color options . . .
@michaelkriz open image in new tab. Goes as big as you want.
@michaelkriz- I hope you know, you can enlarge the image on your cell fone, or tablet by using two fingers, or tapping YOUR DEVICE!!
As someone named Anthony… when this deal showed up in my Twitter feed, I had to sort of stop and have a moment. I look forward to my socks.
At 6am in my morning ritual while downing a Bloody-Mary is not a time for me to make loud color sock selections for work.
I’ll wear any color as long as it’s black or white
For the man that has everything, these are the perfect gift. But I don’t want any more!
It’s like a bunch of early Glen prototypes…
@shahnm Maybe Glen on acid?
Are these the same as the jkorn ones sold previously?
@terrence- Okay so the last ones Were J Korn. Thanks!! I was looking for that answer! Thank You, Thank You Very Much!! These say they are Zeke though! If J Korn’s are Not over the calf then these are, if J Korn’s are over the calf then these are Not!! Just So You Know!!
98% polyester? That’s a surefire recipe for stinky feet. Meh.
12 pairs is way too many to buy all at once.
so 2014…
This will push the amount of socks I have over 100, but what the Hell, 75-80 + 12, okay, wait that won’t,…never mind! I’ve decided to get them anyway. With over 18-22 Suits & 20 Sport Coats, that’s No Biggy!! As Trump says, “I’m not bragging, Believe Me!!”
@decoratedwarvet And we are all so impressed by what Trump says.
These are effectively pure polyester socks people. They are great insulation for your feet…
$19.99 on Amazon right now (at Meh’s comparison link above), so less expensive with Prime free 2-day delivery. Not a deal. And… polyester.
(Prior regular buyer - Haven’t bought anything here since forever, now.)
@obxer Was thinking this is a Very Meh Deal today. Maybe it’ll hit a hoarder deal soon…
I worry a bit about the description “12-pack of socks”.
I am absolutely expecting to get 12 individual mismatched socks (6 pair).
I’m okay with this, in for 3.
@6k5zr4tm7mxi85z I hate to break it to you, the specs indicate:
What’s in the Box?
12x Pairs of socks

Too much work trying to match up pairs after the wash. I just get a bunch of socks all exactly the same so I don’t have to pair them up.
I know someone will point out just wear mixed sets, but way to OCD to try that one.
@raccoon81 How about the fact that they end up being about $2.00 per set and, if you lose one, oh well…you are out two measly dollars.
@karaoke99 It isn’t losing a sock that is annoying, it is trying to make sure I am putting on a matching pair in the mornings.
/giphy ain’t nobody got time
Hell yeah I love weird socks, in for set Z
Can I use these in my Red Hot Chili Peppers cover band?
You lost me at 98% polyester. I prefer mostly cotton socks: feel better, wear better, smell better.
Big feet… means… I need bigger socks
I have bought socks from Meh a few times in the past and they often fall down my right leg. I find this highly annoying. My legs are the same damn size! I don’t limp! WTF
@jmkiii switch sides so they fall down on the left sometimes?
@jmkiii Have you considered handstands?
@jmkiii Double sided sticky tape. That’s what beauty pageant contestants use to keep their boobs from falling out.
@sammydog01 I thought it was butt glue… Maybe I need to try both.
