Quality has gone down

No, I don't recommend this

The quality is not as good as it was in previous years and we already have a hole in the toes. Hopefully they will last a while longer however

Lovely socks

Yes, I recommend this

The picot edging on these socks is the perfect finishing touch to a plain garment. They look great with school uniform and being black, they are practical and don't show the dirt.

Poor quality

No, I don't recommend this

The quality of these socks has gone seriously downhill. I’ve re-purchased for the last few years for my daughter. The set we just received are thin, baggy and don’t stay up due to poor quality materials used. Very disappointed. The socks have gone in the bin as they aren’t even worth donating. I know they’re cheap, but I’d rather pay more for decent socks. The older ones used to last for ages!

Very good quality

Yes, I recommend this

Soft, comfortable, elastic. The elastic is just the right amount - it doesn't press hard on the foot, but the sock doesn't fall off the foot while walking.

Too much fluff

No, I don't recommend this

Unfortunately these black socks, unlike the white ones, left lots of fluff when my daughter wore them and they also didn't wash well.

Always buy the children’s socks from M&S as you can’t fault the quality and durability.
