As the saying goes, you get what you pay for.
You may think that 15 yuan socks are also very cool to wear. Then I can only say that if you wear really good socks, you can truly understand what I am talking about. Although some costs and effort are not visible on the surface, you will know that it is good after wearing it for a long time.

First, high-quality socks are mainly made of natural materials such as cotton, wool, cashmere, and silk.
When weaving, special knitting machines equipped with multiple ultra-fine knitting needles are also used to process ultra-fine yarns with the purest ingredients and the highest quality. Therefore, the knitting of good socks is usually very tight, and it will not become loose after a few times of wearing or washing. Coupled with the blessing of super long fiber, it is not easy to pilling.
In addition, socks need a certain degree of elasticity, and most brands will add a certain amount of elastic fabric. As for what proportion and how to blend it without affecting the comfort and softness under the premise of ensuring elasticity, each family has its own secrets. What I pursue is the indescribable upper foot experience of “warm and moisturizing” language.

Second, the socks can be worn, but the color cannot be changed.
The coloring of high-end socks is extremely firm, and will not fade or show old even after repeated washing. This is because the fiber has undergone processing such as “water purification” and “mererization”, which can not only remove the tiny floating hair on the surface, but also help the dye to enter the gaps better, making the coloring more pure and firm.

Third, “hand stitching the toe” is an important feature for judging the quality of socks.
In general socks, two pieces of fabric are stacked and sewn together, so that a line will be raised at the seam, so the toes will feel “dangling” when you put your feet on them. In order to ensure comfort, there is no overlap between the fabrics when stitching by hand, and the stitches must be aligned one by one. The cost and production time can be imagined.

It’s actually hard to really understand the difference between “good” and “bad” just by looking at the text description. But as long as you are accustomed to using good things and suddenly one day you switch to cheap ones, the feeling will be obvious.
