The socks are made by Alpkit. I first became aware of them, via a review on the Bike Radar site. To see the original review just follow the link below:

As the review quotes:
Although cheap, these socks have already outlasted a couple of pairs of other cycling socks with no signs of going through at the heel or toe.
Now winter’s here, we’re using these warm socks on nearly every ride. They boast a veritable tootsie topography, with stretch, cushioned and tough bits.
With 80 percent Coolmax fabric, they wick well and dry quickly, but they also get the ‘cat pee’ stench far quicker than wool-mix socks.
As the picture above shows, the most attractive element for me was the price. Just £6.50 for two pairs of great specified socks.
Ordered on-line and the service was 1st class. Arrived well packaged, with a personalized note the next day. Great service.
On first ride, the socks felt really good, but really came into their own after a number of rides especially in wet weather. my feet stayed comfortable and mainly dry.
The styling and design are great. I have a white pair and a pale blue pair. Have worn off bike as well, when jogging and long walks.
Highly recommended. Just click the title of this blog to find the Alpkit shop and offers on these great socks.
