I recently bought 3 pairs of these

http://www.sockshop.co.uk/products/mens ... index.html

all be it on ebay. After 1 wash the tops all unravelled and fell to bits ON ALL 3 PAIRS!

Needless to say the seller won't refund etc.. It's bad enough having diabetes but being ripped off because I have it is unacceptable.
 
They are diabetic socks.
They claim to assist circulation but they DON'T have a pancreas:lol:
Order flight socks instead, they do the same thing without the diabetes premium.
 
Oh I see! I didn't even know there were such things! I wouldn't be so gullible to think they'd work!
 
I buy soft padded sports socks as they are generally better than the (supposed) Diabetics socks.

1. they state they are diabetic, which is rubbish
2. they fall to bits and I can't get a refund
3. They play on the diabetic side to get your money

The other problem I have is fluid retention so even socks that have no elstic etc cause huge pressure marks in my legs, sometimes very unsightly! Off to Thailand with the wife and kids in 10 days so I won't be too worried about socks for 3 weeks ;)

Flight socks will not work for me due to the fluid retention. I need non elastic style :(

M&S do a range of socks with no elastic tops.

Thats disgusting, how come they won't refund our offer a voucher to the same value?

I took photos on an 8 mega pix camera, clear as day they are faulty. They refuse to pay the return postage to Northern Ireland so not worth my time returning them. Distance selling laws STATE they must pay for the return postage on sub standard or damaged items.

Stay well clear of balihainursery on ebay

See the attached photo, that is one set, fairly clear and obvious they are falling to bits after 1 wear. At £6 a pop that is unacceptable.
