Razors Edge ★ Posted October 21, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 21, 2020 I've been looking for some new socks, and have always liked DeFeet socks. Can you guess - to their discretion - which are Men's and which are Women's socks below: Sock #1: Sock #2: Sock #3: Sock #4: Sock #5: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sizing is just an illusion, since you could buy a small man's sock if you are a woman, or a large woman's sock if you are a man. They are otherwise seemingly identical in width or structure. Ankle height just varies for both from short to tall, so not even that makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Identical in all ways except the colors and the size/gender labels.

Zephyr Posted October 22, 2020 Share #34 Posted October 22, 2020 Is #4 womens? I only ask because they seem to be trying to be Wonder Woman without paying royalties. All the others appear unisex to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ask because they seem to be trying to be Wonder Woman without paying royalties. All the others appear unisex to me Or Shazam! But, definitely could be to avoid trademarks and copyrights. I think, in reality, it turns out they are generally unisex, but they go a double UPC route to create a differentiation. These Barnstormer ones (below and in a thread above) were under men's in one place, women's in another, but the DeFeet website just sells them by the universal European size chart with S - XL sizes regardless of a man or woman. Only some filtering on men's or women's socks - most are "unisex". Seems just Competitive Cyclist or REI or wherever are pushing gender choices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
