The Single Most Important Reason for Having Reviews Think back about 20 years ago. If the holes in your socks finally got big enough to the point you couldn’t wear them anymore, you schlepped out to the store and picked out another pack. Maybe you asked a salesperson some questions about them, or maybe you just picked up different packages to compare softness and strength.
