    Swazi Hunter Socks

    Just purchased a pr before Xmas. Strangest design i have seen, don't seem to match their online pic? Size medium. The toe ends seem to be like the end of a sack with seams protruding? Their 4 reviews are good but anyone else got a pr that don't quite fit their foot profile? When worn inside boots the toe corner seams can be felt. Any feed back appreciated.Name:  IMG_2902.JPG

    Bought some years ago, and they were fucking terrible, as you describe.

    Sizing of most stuff has changed.
    But my sock size has been an 8 forever.
    But now it seems to be the change point between sizes.
    So 6-8 too small 8-10 too loose.
    Am I the only one.
    Used Norsewear for years but went off them as they just weren't as good.

    I buy socks from haddads, their own brand, they’re pretty bloody good.

    Where did you buy them from? I bought a pair recently, and they're bloody awesome! I think they recently moved production to NZ Sock Co. in Ashburton (keeping it Kiwi!), who produce some fantastic stuff. The ones I bought sound and look nothing like the ones you're showing... In fact some of the most comfy socks I've worn!

    Swazi make a about six types of socks - my ones called Hunter socks. Your ones above look like the Ibex ones? Totally different style.
