On a side note - I’m using Opera on an android phone - I didn’t see any indication on the pictures for which set is which. I finally figured it out but it seems like there has to be a way to do something like the mouse-hover text descriptions you get on a desktop for mobile users. Or am I missing something?
@shawn (via @Thumperchick) Never looked at this before, but even if you don’t feel like dealing with the accessibility issues that have been raised before, sticking in a blank alt attribute for the sake of valid HTML might be worth it. But, this 508 specialist is still rooting for real alt text.
Ugly, ugly, ugly. I will stick to my normal, boring solid color socks. And continue buying the same boring brand, so I do not have to bother matching them. With the added bonus of getting them at half this price on sale.
@shaunjcw Apparently @ponagathos hadn’t been around teenagers in the last ten years or so. There are like five brands that sell individual socks, not pairs, so you can’t match them.
@MehnofLaMehncha
Oh, I am aware of the trend. Bought a bunch for my niece and she seemed to really like them. Cute on teen girls maybe, grown men, not so much. My opinion of course. This batch also seems particularly ugly.
I get the feeling these socks may be too tight for me. I got some Size 13 Puma socks from Costco that seem more like spandex than cotton. I want to buy these, but I have doubts.
I just want to tell you all that Unsimply Stitched is a brand that inspires fun and creativity through socks and underwear in a large selection of colors and patterns for every personality. They provide both classic and trendy designs in comfortable and high quality fabrics. They believe in embracing individuality and expression - so why not say it LOUD.
I am in for 4 sets of the elephant print and its companions, to go with my Unsimply Stitched Elephant Print Boxer Brief and of course I got VMP… it’s the shipping deal that never forgets!!!
Just so you know I pulled the mirrors off of my Cadillac, cause I don’t like it looking like I look back.
@mydrivec Gave them a quick google search, and there was this site called Modern Fellows that said they were hella soft. Considering they’re even 70% off and I’ve always wanted crazy socks, seemed like a no-brainer.
@mydrivec
Exactly! Like I said WTF is this $H!T? Not gonna catch a REAL man in them, no matter how fruity the guy. Maybe for the wifemate! Ya, Guys let your wives see these, might be good for them. Ya I’m not really politically correct. But Everyone wants to say the same thing I just did. Or not. Don’t care, not for me!
@jonjen2 a real man would not fret about how others view him in his socks. If you enjoy wearing them, that’s it…they do not broach onto any other meaning and definitely do not stand to dictate how man a male is.
@uninflammable Wait…sticking your dick in a guy’s ass is gay now? What if it’s just the tip, and not the entire shaft? Kind of like exploring and not really committing.
I wear socks every day to work… As a Nurse, I LOVE HELLASOFT Socks. Passed on the elephants though, even at a dollar off, would have only worn the True Elephant pair… Found that my soft boot socks beat my footie socks, they NEVER pinch my toes, as they shrink… Looking forward to these. And Yes, I have a Big Foot… So, these “Mens” socks should be Fine!
Why the fuck would anyone buy these? They’re expensive, probably wear out just as fast as any other socks, and most of them are absolutely hideous! There is no advantage to this at all!
@sparkyfarad When the apocalypse comes and everyone is desperately foraging for supplies that have long since run dry, these ugly pieces of shit will be the only things left lying around.
Aside: anyone else browsing on mobile hate those “Touch of Modern” ads? Whenever I accidentally tap one it takes over the browser tab and refuses to let me go back to Meh. Have to close the tab and navigate back.
For those who don’t routinely buy both men’s and women’s footwear in the same relative size: generally women’s sizes are equivalent to men’s plus 1.5, so 7-12 men’s is roughly 8.5-13.5 women’s. Give or take a half. In shoes, there’s also a width difference (one step), but not sure how much that really matters in the sock world.
Years ago, I bought a big box of black sock. Life was decision free in the AM. Then I got an “assortment” on sale. Now life is more complicated as I sort through missing and mismatched, but similar socks. Be warned.
I’m super sad that these haven’t shipped yet. I was including them with my other gifts for my dad for father’s day. Even though it takes a week for meh orders to get to me I thought for sure between the 4th to the 19th there would be enough time.
/giphy sad face
@Barney I missed that. Thank you! Now as long as I get a tracking number in my email by Saturday morning there is hope. If not, there is no way it will make it by the 17th.

Not for me
@Stallion
Not in their demographic, either.
When I need to dress up, I wear my newer Keens.
Bought all the socks.
"Sock it to me "-reminds me of old Rowan and Martians Laugh In show
@AttyVette This is a darned good deal.
@AttyVette
@AttyVette
Martians?
@AttyVette
As opposed to the new Laugh-In shows …
@AttyVette
/giphy sock it to me
Geez, I thought they were condoms at first…
@eeterrific I’d stay clear of mediocre condoms.
@eeterrific
@StrangerDanger well, they’re the right size…7 - 12…
This deal socks.
@ronmprime Of course it does!
It’s Bleaker Sock Friday!
SDF is soooo yesterday snooze.
Did Glen just get backup singers?
At least it’s not a speaker dock, chromebook, or knife.
I would be all over this if the price was $6-8. I love this brand too.
@Moose - Look at your fancy tables in the price comparison!
@Thumperchick well @shawn was very disappointed that I hadn’t used them yet
All the sets are hideous. I’d need more than a buck off each.
@hallmike fam this is like 72% off
I’m wearing Brut and Penny Loafers with real silver dimes. Perfect timing.
@Sevylor7 wouldn’t that make them dime loafers?
@Sevylor7
Cool guys use subway tokens
@MehnofLaMehncha
Can I get the elephants, lemons, and the red topped plaid in a (single) pack?
@Tin_Foil sure just send bill an email and he will take care of it.
possible-touching -mummy
Not creepy at all, meh!
@Ovlovian Ok, this made me laugh!
I wear 14 wide, so I doubt I can get these on my feet
In for elephant set, because Glen…
Gentle-chubby-bushbaby in lemon:
Been wanting to try these for a long time. In for 2 sets
Dafuq? Socks? What kinda place you guys running over there?
@TRD the mediocre kind?
@Thumperchick Actually, I like socks. No. I LOVE socks. Just not on a Friday night. I’ve had a few and I want to be responsible.
I was really hoping they were a proper ‘three pack’, instead of three pairs. You’re failing me, Meh.
Bah! Not even mediocre socks.
On a side note - I’m using Opera on an android phone - I didn’t see any indication on the pictures for which set is which. I finally figured it out but it seems like there has to be a way to do something like the mouse-hover text descriptions you get on a desktop for mobile users. Or am I missing something?
@Bingo you’re not missing anything. There isn’t a mouse-over for desktop mode either.
@Thumperchick @Bingo Yeah, but you can see a picture of each set at the top of the order page when you click on the sets in the order box.

@cshillaber enjoy
I never thought I would say this - but I am kinda digging those Elephant socks.
I am a sock fanatic but can only afford one set. My saddest day. scientific-vintage-vampire
@kruzen
Perfect
I think woot had these at one time (or fifty different times)? Didn’t buy them there either.
WTF is this $H!T?
@jonjen2… This is Meh. You can actually type the actual word.
/giphy This Is Meh
socks with zero reviews on Amazon. Either not many shop at Amazon or NO ONE buys these and they end up here.
@mydrivec Gave them a quick google search, and there was this site called Modern Fellows that said they were hella soft. Considering they’re even 70% off and I’ve always wanted crazy socks, seemed like a no-brainer.
@mydrivec
Exactly! Like I said WTF is this $H!T? Not gonna catch a REAL man in them, no matter how fruity the guy. Maybe for the wifemate! Ya, Guys let your wives see these, might be good for them. Ya I’m not really politically correct. But Everyone wants to say the same thing I just did. Or not. Don’t care, not for me!
@jonjen2 is this satire
@jawshark87
Nope, just me being myself. Guys don’t need to be gay, unless they are, and well, like I said; I am not very politically correct.
And don’t get me started on What bathroom do I use depending on what gender I affiliate with today…
@jonjen2 people like you make me sad.
@jonjen2 a real man would not fret about how others view him in his socks. If you enjoy wearing them, that’s it…they do not broach onto any other meaning and definitely do not stand to dictate how man a male is.
@jonjen2 I wish I could give this a negative star. Instead, you’ll have to make due with the knowledge that I’m glaring at you through the internet.
That has NOTHING to do with being politically correct. And has everything to do with you being an actual bigot.
/giphy bigot
‘…and while I’m being so proud of not being politically correct, how about a transphobic tangent?!’
Eat ‘$H!T’, @jonjen2.
@jonjen2 these will always be your cleanest socks
@jonjen2 I like the elephant socks I bought and will wear them proudly. Your posts are inappropriate for this forum - seriously.
@jonjen2 Gay is when you wear patterned socks?
Jeez, and for all this time I thought it was when you stuck your dick in another man’s ass
@uninflammable Wait…sticking your dick in a guy’s ass is gay now? What if it’s just the tip, and not the entire shaft? Kind of like exploring and not really committing.
Initially only got the Lemon set, but changed my mind and also got the Grey Set because I remembered my dad gave me $10 earlier
Side note, “wanting-nasty-dwarf.” I… I feel dirty.
@jawshark87 Oh that order deserves a gif.
Where’s me gold?
Haha. Even Amazon questions if these are for “men”… from their description:
" Mens One Size. Wonderful for ladies in love with cropped jeans as well"
@kbaum17 I’m not sure I see the humor here. Is there something wrong with unisex clothing?
SKI SOOOOOCKS!!!
Oh fuck it. I am in for those damn elephant sock. Plus the camo socks will fit right in where I live.
fitful-loopy-chlorine
@mfladd another location clue! we are narrowing it down…
It’s about time I had some hideous socks. In for two. Elephants and Lemons!

How about some woman’s socks? Even the mediocre socks were men’s socks… you do know there are women on here… right meh?
I wear socks every day to work… As a Nurse, I LOVE HELLASOFT Socks.

@Mandamm Just one big foot?
@Mandamm Hello Nurse.
Why the fuck would anyone buy these? They’re expensive, probably wear out just as fast as any other socks, and most of them are absolutely hideous! There is no advantage to this at all!
@Dizavid We buy them to confound you.
@Dizavid they look dope and are hella soft, thank u
Clearly only your opinion matters, @Dizavid.
@Dizavid these are laundry day socks
Too small and not toe socks… Too bad.
Damn… They won’t fit…
@sohmageek Ditto . . . not only Oldfeet, but big feet as well.
This is what happens when the world runs out of stuff.
@sparkyfarad When the apocalypse comes and everyone is desperately foraging for supplies that have long since run dry, these ugly pieces of shit will be the only things left lying around.
@sparkyfarad I’m not sure what you’re expecting from meh.com, a product of mediocre laboratories.
@Al_Coholic Hallelujah !
@jawshark87 I love those rope lights, radios, down alternative comforters, and grime bosses.
As Troy Baker says, life is too short for boring socks. In for two sets.
@harveydanger Update: order pulpy-resourceful-scout
Aside: anyone else browsing on mobile hate those “Touch of Modern” ads? Whenever I accidentally tap one it takes over the browser tab and refuses to let me go back to Meh. Have to close the tab and navigate back.
These things look like shit.
I wish they’d sell socks pre-stinkd, but wearing no socks with closed shoes does the job better anyways.
Aside from the Mediocre socks, this is… something new at least… eh?
@brhfl fuku fodder
@sparkyfarad I like how many justifications you seem to have handy for these!
Found them for $9.99 at Century 21
https://www.c21stores.com/products/unsimply-stitched-3-pack-argyle-stripe-crew-socks
@haydesigner sold out, but was what is the shipping?
@medz When I saw these socks, I thought of the pic you posted of you wearing your Mediocre socks. I then thought, “These socks just scream @medz.”
@Barney Ha. I may model them for you once I get them.
@medz Waiting…
@medz, a bit late, but their ‘standard shipping’ was/is $9.99.
@Barney enjoy
@medz I no longer have my foot fetish, but I do enjoy a good looking ankle. Nice socks!

There’s a bunch of cool socks by Blue Q on Amazon that I’d rather have instead. I never dress up nice enough to need any of these
/giphy cool socks
Are they blue tooth?
/giphy insane-fickle-print
Pineapple set for me. Wanted elephants, but those others… will have to sleep on it.
I am required to wear a suit to work…so I purchased all 4 sets of rebel socks. Gainfully employed man says Rawr!

I’m waiting for knee high '70s athletic socks to make a comeback. And then die out again in a week so that I can buy them here.
And bluetooth ropelights. Yeah.
i absolutely love the brand and am in the market for more.
thanks to meh, i can now stop checking woot every day.

Years ago, I bought a big box of black sock. Life was decision free in the AM. Then I got an “assortment” on sale. Now life is more complicated as I sort through missing and mismatched, but similar socks. Be warned.
I’m a sucker for fun socks. Bought the two fruit sets.
I hate elephants and teal.

@LadyLeela They gave a delivery date between 6/15-6/17, so maybe there’s hope?
Um, estimated delivery date. Is that like trying to hit a dartboard blindfolded?
@Barney I missed that. Thank you! Now as long as I get a tracking number in my email by Saturday morning there is hope. If not, there is no way it will make it by the 17th.
@Barney I thank you & the luck of the purple you bring! They shipped today & should arrive next Friday.
/giphy purple for life
@LadyLeela Aww… (purple blush)
Holy shit. I was apparently drunk and ordered three sets of socks. This is officially more than I’ve spent on socks in the past 3 years.
@DaveInSoCal
@mfladd i imagine it went something like this:
Me: Fancy socks! I’m buying two! (click)
Wife: Don’t buy two! Did that say pineapple?
Me: I’ll buy a pineapple one also! (click)
Wife: (sigh)
Me: (drunken giggle)
These socks already have holes in them after one use – were they one time use socks?
@plasticfork I’d call the company. Mine are the highest quality socks I own and feel extremely durable. That, or you really need to cut your toenails.
