Hi Jeffrey,
Thank you for sharing your feedback and review of Neurosox. We truly value the information you provided.
Neurosox are consistently rated highly for their quality materials, so we were surprised to hear about the early signs of wear and tear you experienced. However, please note that if your shoes have a tight toe box, it can cause crunched toes, which may increase wear and tear on the material. This also defeats the purpose of correcting your toe splay with the use of Neurosox five-toe socks.
I'm pleased to inform you that a replacement pair is on the way. We are confident that whether you wear your socks indoors without shoes or outdoors with shoes, they are designed for long-term durability.
