Have you bought some? Thoughts? I'd like go get a bunch for the gym and just every day use but even with the 20% off we're talking about well over $10 per pair.

I looked into them, felt the same way. I think the packages of socks I would have gotten to wear at work were $12 per pair.

I bought some Bombas athletic socks. They’re fine, but no better than Gold Toe. Plus way overpriced.

You pay $10 a pair for a $2 pair of sox. The owners of Bombas donate a $2 pair and pocket the rest. But you get to feel like you donated a pair, when you actually over paid. :lol:

Millenials are the best.

Do you want to round up your purchase for charity? No. That's dumb.

I always just say "I donate to charities on my own". Not going to help some corporation virtue signal that "Mobile helped raise $100k for charity" when they didn't do shit.

The socks you're purchasing are not the same socks they donate. They are "better." Supposedly much better.

I've never gotten Gold Toe either, so I may look into that.

The usual Nike / Adidas / Puma athletic socks are fine, but I think there could be better.
