T-Bob Posted October 10, 2016 Share I cant be bothered, its function over form. My feet are important to me. These falke socks fit great and are extremely comfortable, especially the thicker ones. I have some hiking varieties in them as well. No blisters!!!You forget though that Patch' loves to strike a pose... just look at the blue steel happening in his avatar! So I'd say that form is the function to some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket-Boy Posted October 10, 2016 Share To be completely honest here you cant blame CWC really for the pricing. Those socks are damn expensive to begin with when you buy them in their originating country.Add the nuts import tax on garments and duties/transport etc and its pretty much ballpark for the price. So maybe its a case of buying them if you want to prove you like to drop a lot of cash on cycling or something along those lines. Personally there is no way in hell that I will be paying anything close to that for a pair socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awesme Posted October 10, 2016 Share ye, clothes from out of country = eina. There is a 40% levy... penalty tax on any clothing imported so if it already started expensive it just gets ridiculous.

Ofaniy Posted October 10, 2016 Share Nah, will stick to my Versus Socks. The original sock dopers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock Posted October 10, 2016 Share Sock are the new cool thing to have / start a business doing... and these are from italy so you know they are quality (or you're just paying the weak rand and the 50% import duty!). 'only' 20% import duty...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted October 10, 2016 Share CAUTION OPINION TO BE RAISED. Ever since Versus identified a gap in the market (which is why they are so success full IMO) everyone has tried to get on the bandwagon like SOX,Fini,ect. ect. and power to them. But the point where you start asking R130 OR R400 for a pair you are killing your market. I bought one pair of Versus socks and was impressed but they were "kapoet" after pretty much 2 months of riding (NO I did not wear them every single day / ride) and thats were it ended , was nice for a while but I'm over it. However the Cheap "Shimano XTR" socks I buy at cajees/cyclelab for like R30 a pair last forever they are just as breathable(for what I can feel) and comfortable as hell. So thats what I will continue to use cheap socks that Look the **** (I mean XTR )and are comfortable for any type of riding I do. ** Let the stone throwing begin....

KingZA Posted October 10, 2016 Share Did anybody else notice how the GoPro ploy didn't actually change the direction of this thread! R 400 is cray cray but it's been coming because we are our own worst enemies. The more we buy into these expensive products (and by this i'm saying that 90% of cycling equipment out there) the more the industry will try and push the envelope. If they sell them then they make huge profit, if they put them on 50% off special then... ...oh wait they still make huge profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Hare Posted October 10, 2016 Share I see there are socks with the USA decal. Any chance that you've got socks with the Israeli flag and that of the Palestinian Authority? Palestinian on the left, Israeli on the right foot.... working together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
