Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

These are not authentic socks. I have purchased several pairs this year and finally after seeing a few reviews about authenticity I bought a few pars from the company. So here is the deal, Balega makes socks in two locations, South Africa and North Carolina, not in China, none in China!!!! These socks I get from Amazon are made in China, the ones I get from Balega are made in South Africa. I have included a few pictures, the sock on the right is Authentic and made in South Africa, the sock on the left is Amazon, same sock, different colors, so they should be the same, minus color. You will see that the authentic sock is much more plush, the ankle fusion is actually very soft and thick, and they have not fallen a part. My Amazon ones have already started to show holes in the forefoot. Last image is the packaging showing the location where the socks are made, on the front!! Once again, why buy counterfeit socks for the same price? This has been a well documented problem on Amazon, fake Chinese knockoffs for the same price and Amazon turns a blind eye since they made a nice profit.
