**EDIT 2** Vero Monte made it right!  The customer service team is pretty amazing and sent me the correct socks.  I also must admit, the original socks without the grippies stayed on better than I thought they would.  I highly recommend this brand and will be buying more!

**EDIT** Vero Monte reached out offering to make my shopping experience right. I responded in kind and will update here as the situation is resolved. Kudos to the customer service for their speedy reply.

The only reason I purchased these was for the 4 grippy lines in the heal.  Imagine my disappointment when they arrived WITHOUT the grippy lines. Without this feature they are just overpriced tiny socks that won't stay on a foot.
