Champion has killed one of its own great products.
Almost unbelievable. I've worn Champion socks (and nothing else) since 1993. I usually replace my socks once per year. Last year's socks were still in OK condition, but I was really looking forward to the thickness and fluffiness of brand-new socks. I ordered 3 packs of 6, and put them straight into the washer when they arrived. After they came out of the dryer, I noticed that they were MUCH thinner than ever before. In fact, brand-new, they were already thinner than last year's supply.
I thought, well, the geniuses at Champion must have figured out how to make a thinner sock that is just as supportive and comfortable as the thicker ones. So I foolishly through away last year's socks, and put the new ones in the drawer. I've been wearing them for two weeks.
Sorry, but these socks SUCK. Way too thin. Uncomfortable. They feel sticky. Even if you haven't been sweating, removing these socks at night is more like peeling them off your feet.
These socks are a total disaster, and a betrayal of the noble Champion brand. I also recently replaced my Champion sweat pants; the new ones are just as thick, soft, and comfortable as the old ones ever were. So, what the hell has happened to the socks?
Truly disgusting.
