The description

Amazon Japan vendor JKXOJKX carries five-toe socks for both men and women. The five-toe crew socks for women come in a pack of five. They are crew length and earth-toned.


The good

For less than 2000 yen, I took a risk on an Amazon vendor with a string of letters for its name. The reviews were middling, but I thought, for the price, why not try? These crew-length five-toed socks for women are mixed-fibre - mostly cotton with some spandex and polyester. The colourway is earth tones. The vendor indicates the socks are sweat-absorbing and don't hold odours. The top of the socks have firm ribbing that holds up well, and it is easy enough to sort out the toes. The socks have been through the wash weekly for about three months.


The not so good

Five-toe socks offered by Amazon Japan vendors tend to come in packs of five and the price point is about the same. I think these socks are good value. The other comparable socks available are mostly single colour, often black or with stripes. I liked these ones from JKXOJKX because of the earth tone colourway. They are easy to pair up on wash day. The tension of the knit fabric means the tiny toes twist a bit, but after a washing or two, the knit relaxes. I've been wearing them weekly for about three months. They haven't pilled or become holey.
