5pk Supersoft Patterned Ankle High Socks

I purchased these socks after buying the previous year’s socks and although they are as soft and comfortable the elastane running through the fabric of the sock is a white or light colour, this gives the impression that the sock is thin and a greyish tint when stretched across the foot. This makes the socks seem cheap and not as aesthetically pleasing. These socks should have a black elastane the same as last year’s version, and this is something to note for the designers of the sock. I will not purchase these socks again unless the fabric returns to the previous version.

I've been buying this style for years, in various colours as they've updated through the seasons. The latest pack unfortunately are noticeable thinner in quality and shorter than old pairs I've washed, lived and died in for years. Beware, I am a UK shoe size 3.5 - 4, but like to buy the 6+ size as I prefer a little looser around the leg and these fit snug, so I'm unsure how these would comfortably fit someone who is an actual size 6+. In my haste thinking they're exactly the same fit/quality, I unpacked the lot and threw them in the wash ready to wear anf will have to keep them now. But I will not be rebuying from here as the quality of all the women's basics it seems have lowered far below what I am willing to accept from M&S. Do better.

After wearing the older version of these socks for 2 years I purchased these online last week and the quality is very poor. They are very thin and practically opaque. I wear them to work under black trousers (M&S 60 denier tights would be thinker) Very disappointed with the purchase.

When I put these on they no longer look black. Definitely not as good quality as I have been used to in M&S socks

Had these socks many times before. They wash and wear well and do the job!

Lovely and soft, very comfortable, actually fit my small feet but they are not very strong - I had to replace after too few wears because they developed a hole
