Quite a few years ago I purchased some cotton blend Gold Toe trouser socks.  I LOVED those socks.  I wore them until they were completely threadbare because I loved them that much.

I purchased these socks to replace those socks (because my husband just couldn't stand me wearing those threadbare socks anymore).  I'm so disappointed in these socks.  I have large calves and the elastic in these socks doesn't seem tight enough, they start creeping down right away.  When I pull my snow boots off to change into my shoes at work, the socks come off with my boots.

I have searched everywhere for the cotton trouser socks that I loved so much, but I have been unable to find them.

These socks don't even come close to the quality and comfort of the socks I threw away.  To be completely honest, I wish I hadn't thrown them away when these arrived because I'd still rather wear the threadbare cotton socks instead of these.
