I bought some socks this afternoon at Walmart. Six pair for $12.65,
including tax.

Let us know how they wear. My wife bought some socks there and the
heels were gone after about five wearings. But she walks all day.

Good grief! I thought it was only me.
I bought a 12 pack of socks from Costco in the fall and already a number of
them are in the trash with some others showing small holes in the heel area.
I blame it on the loose fitting, slip-on style duck shoes that I'm forced to
wear this time of year...if it's not snowy, it's muddy in the park.

The ones she bought were just trash - probably Chinese.
Nothing to do with her shoes. Getting hard to find good socks.
Reminds me - last year in a Florida flea market I saw a 3-pair bundle
of socks for 5 bucks. Long heavy duty winter work socks.
We were getting "Florida mementos" for the kids.
I bought them for my son who mechanics in a garage that gets cold.
Wife said "Hey, I was thinking of this keychain shaped like a gator."
I said "No, he'll love these socks." He did.
She still doesn't get it.
