    I've got half a dozen pairs - they are brilliant.

    Got 5 pairs of RKEP socks from Eric too. I love these socks. Initially I was worried that the size would be too big as I have small feet. Turns out to be a non-issue.

    the part that annoys me about the socks are the cushion are wearing out after almost 6 months of wearing but the elasticity of the socks are still there.. there is no reason for me to throw out the old ones... sigh... :p

    ah... but the part that doesn't annoy me is that the cushioning manages to last as long as a similar pair of technical socks from nike or adidas... at only 1/3 the cost ;)

    and let's face it, socks wear out just like shoes do... eventually they'll reach the end of their useful life and the time will come to discard them

    yeah.. the best part of it is about the cost. Although shipping it all the way to malaysia it's still cost way lesser then those branded stuff... I find it quite hard to discard the items that are not spoiled until the extant of unusable. So its kinda annoying that having few pair of socks that you are not wearing it and yet not gonna throw as well...

    Haha... No, reason why I go thru so many pairs is cuz because they're so comfortable, I wear them every day: to work, to badminton, to casual outings, to everything... :D

    I have just order three pair of rkep socks from Eric. I hope that it is as good or better than Yonex's 3D socks. uploadfromtaptalk1398666929797.jpg

    Had to comment on this lol

    Ordered three pairs last year and to this day, they're the only socks I use to play badminton with.

    Great cushion, fit and quality.

    One thing to note though, the new gen with stylized R logo is not as cushiony as the old one with RKEP logo.

    Oh no, do they still do the old cushy ones?

    You recommended me these and they have been fantastic, trouble is, after many uses and washes they seem to have lost a bit of the cushy feel. So I was hoping to get more.

    Own those with RKEP logo. Indeed, they r cushiony, snug n comfy... but wearing Victor SH-P9100, my wide feet is compressed too tight at the outer sides below my small toes. Mayhaps, will try them again aftr breaking the P9100 wider a bit...

    Yes, but only in the low cut style.

    They are indeed fantastic. I think I'm up to about 40 pairs now over the past 2 yrs... but that's because I also buy black and grey ones for daily use...

    They've got the high ones back in now. Though the postage cost has gone up from what I remember. :(
