Fruit of the Loom Socks Giveaway
(50 winners out of 2,033 entrants)
Required comment: What is the MOST important factor(s) you consider when buying socks?

1. Alicia Cou I would say Price, Comfort, Brand, Recommendations from friends/family, along with Quality… Some socks fall apart so quickly!
2. Amanda Cot Size! I have semi large feet, not clown feet but I’m a 10. Most socks are made for smaller feet and a lot of cotton socks shrink. It’s just not logical that I’d wear the same size sock as a person with a size 6 shoe.
