I bought 12 pair of these diabetic socks recently. They turned out to be extremely cheap and made of some material that feels scratchy and stiff. Very unpleasant to wear. I washed them all, hoping they would soften up, but if anything they became worse. Since I've washed them already, I assume I can't return them. I'm going to put them all in the Goodwill bag, I guess, but I'm not happy about having spent $20 on these.
