There was no hesitation when we purchased these goods. Delivery was excellent and was received promptly. The packaging on arrival is beautifully put together, so if you're looking to gift it there’s no need to buy wrapping paper and bows as the presentation on arrival already feel like a gift.

Comfort / Value

Insanely comfortable and comforting on the feet, these high-quality colourful cotton combed socks give you that pep in your step. They are soft as anything and are designed to offer great fashion and softness whatever the occasion. The combed cotton gives a natural softness and warmth. I found that the socks are long-lasting and endure a lot of walking, have a great grip on feet and do not move around. Not ideal to do sports in as the moisture would be too much. But on a day to day running errands or at work or even a BBQ they are perfect and the temperature is not unbearable. They are machine friendly meaning you can just stick them in the washing machine and no worries on damaging the quality. How much are you willing to spend on your socks. For a few extra pounds you will find you have to buy socks less frequently and your feet will be happier. The value for these socks is great as they are long-lasting durable socks which means? Less buying! Which is a blessing in disguise for all of us. Less worrying about taking your shoes off and finding a hole at the tip these socks last and endure. The only thing you have to watch out for is that they don’t go for walkies in the wash!

Appearance

The socks are gender-friendly as there is no particular style that directs to gender. They are an exciting brand to wear as the African inspired culture allows for a unique and exclusive way to brighten up any outfit with a fashionable trendy vibe.

They have a wide variety of styles available which are all displayed clearly on the website and they also have an automated pop-up chat icon – so if you have any questions you can easily drop them a message and they aim to respond to you as soon as possible the chat also remains there for 24hours, therefore, you can refer back to the conversation if needed. The socks they have available are all calf-length socks which have a thoughtfully placed tension otherwise known as “stay up technology”. The Y stitch heel cups at the back of the foot are seamlessly stitched avoiding any bulk that may build up as you may find in cheaper pairs of socks. In an extra effort to add arch support structure the socks mirror a strong natural structure across the midfoot.

Reviews found online of customers who bought AfroPop Socks;

[table id=15 /] RateUsOnline Verdict At RateUsOnline’ having tried and tested these items, I feel that this fun vibrant product is great value for money. I would recommend everyone interested to give this a buy. My feet definitely thanked me for it. These are such fun socks and when I wore these to family events, they really caught everyone’s attention in a good way. They were soft and comfortable to wear for the entire evening. They brightened up my mood when I wore them and on a plus brightened my outfit up too. I loved that I didn’t have to bend over every 5 minutes to pull them up, they stayed in place for me. I love the vibrancy and the overall feel of the sock on my feet they feel durable so I will likely not have to keep buying socks as frequently. I also like the fact that the designs incorporated a back story of African culture. It would be nice if they did provide different style socks such as pop socks, ankle socks, knee-high. However, they are limited to calf-length style. But you never know perhaps they will branch out in the future and provide the supply to the demand. It would be a great feature if they also allowed customers to send in custom made designs that they can create for each user and if the design is popular, they could even sell online. I would give this a big thumbs up and will most likely be buying in the future for myself and even gift for my friends and family. I loved them!
