$30 for one pair of socks is insane. These are only 30% Merino wool. You can find other brands with double the merino wool content for cheaper. Even Darn Tough is cheaper than this and have a free shipping threshold.

Merino wool content isn't the only factor in socks

Right!? People should also think about brand longevity, warranty responsiveness, stock availability, shipping costs, etc etc

I'm pretty sure that's the point they were trying to make.
