Many thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you're disappointed with the socks you received. Although you're not able to know exactly what you'll receive in advance, you can manage your subscription in your account area and select a different category of socks (Go to Account > Subscriptions > Manage > Your Delivery). If you find that plain classic socks are boring, then it might be a good idea to try our Fashion or Fun socks. We hope you'll enjoy these socks more. Kind regards, The Sock Butler.
