So I guess socks have always just kinda sucked. Mine also look like that after a year or so of use.

    Same. Though, I actually appreciate that they could last a year. They go through many thousands of steps, friction, salty sweat, wash cycles, and are made to comfortably fit many shapes and sizes of feet.

    I'm sure they could last longer if made from stronger materials, but probably at the cost of comfort and fit.

    🤔 This is probably the most I've ever thought about socks
