I guess MEH’s retinas were seated since there are actually 7 ‘styles’ to choose from not 5!!
Or maybe they are just suffering from putting stinky eyes to close to their eyes?!?!

- @bigjl98 Where are you seeing 5?
  Okay, I see what you mean. I believe that’s referring to the overall styles being offered. Stripes, Dots, Argyle, etc.?
  Or we suck at counting.
  (Usually, I’d say it’s the latter.)

Got these before. They’re comfy and seem to be holding up well, but how many pairs of very high socks do I need?

Probably fewer than I have.

- @Pantheist It’s funny, but I have a drawer filled with identical ankle height black socks. As I add more and more of these high socks, I’m getting rid of more and more of the ankle height…
  
  Soon I’ll just have a couple pairs for when I wear shorts and it would be weird to wear calf height socks.

caryrh said Wed, Aug 16th 2017 at 1:25am ET:

I say the term “fancy” socks so I thought they were like merino wool or something like that.

The website states:

80% Combed Cotton / 17% Polyamide / 3% Elastane

So they are combed cotton socks which does make them better, but I’m still not sure about calling them fancy.

Are these socks smooth on the inside or do they have noticeable stitching?

- @Coldrice There are little tufts of threads on the inside where colors interface. I don’t notice the tufts when the socks are on my feet, though, and the Simply Unstitched socks I’ve bought from Meh in the past are holding up well.

They are stupid comfortable and if you are a confident dresser, everyone responds to a snazzy pair of socks. I have pairs that are a couple years old at this point and they have held up way better than some of my much more expensive brands. Seriously, these socks are a big part of why I keep my vmp…

And you will get complimented on these. Dare to be different than the rest of your office mooks trudging around in black and grey.

- @Al_Coholic I’m sorry these socks weren’t visually appealing to you. Selling more than 1 item a day is against the principals of the site. To get around this, however, they sell more items over on morningsave.com. Plenty of options for you over there, friend.

dave said Tue, Aug 22nd 2017 at 2:08pm ET:

For anyone checking in here, I screwed up a bit - we’re moving to a bigger & better warehouse and I should’ve taken that into account when thinking about when these would ship since we’re still moving stuff around warehouses and getting all the processes down.

As it is, they’re not going to ship until Thursday the 24th, which means that some of you will likely miss the end of that August 31st delivery window, and it’ll seem even later because of the upcoming long weekend.

Sorry about that, I should’ve known to say these likely wouldn’t arrive until September.

(It’s funny to post an update about socks just below someone who is very angry we sold socks.)
