To think that Next socks are appalling this year and that I should have a full refund.

I purchased three packs of Next socks at £10 each a couple of months ago, I don't usually get them from there but they have pairs where the footbeds have a pattern so easy to differentiate between mine and my sons' black socks.
The 15 pairs plus others I have in my sock drawer have been worn in a normal rotation so not excessive where yet nearly every pair either has a hole or is wearing thin. In comparison, I have Marks and Spencer socks that are several years old and not a single sign of wear.

I emailed a complaint about quality, I got an auto-response saying they would reply in 4 days. Two weeks later - nothing. So after a chase, they offered me a 25% discount. Is it me or is that not good enough?

It's a recent thing, I have old ones still going strong, but ones bought at Christmas have holes in toes and heels, or would still have if I hadn't binned them.

There are so many low-quality socks. I tried to buy from wherever I could. At last, I have got some which I wear for a long time. Here is a link www.thenordicsocks.com/
