In October 2006, Gold Toe merged with Moretz and production of model #2054S was moved to China in 2007.
Gold Toe used to be a well-made, comfortable and durable sock that stayed up on my legs and lasted a long time. But they must have abandoned their quality standards or outsourced production to overseas companies that aren't properly monitored, because the socks no longer fit well, aren't comfortable and don't stay up. The toe box is sewn irregularly and the resultant seam is uncomfortable. I bought 6 pair and I don't think any two are sewn exactly alike. The sock isn't properly shaped to follow the ankle curve, so the fabric bunches up in folds at the front of my ankles and uncomfortably overlaps under the tongue of my shoes. Worst of all, the socks slide down my ankles several times a day and bunch up inside my shoes at the toes. And they don't all match. After the first washing, my wife said she was sorry but a couple socks don't match. On close inspection, the odd looking socks do have the same rib pattern, but one is much more pronounced than the other, giving the socks a very different appearance.

The Gold Toe socks that I recently bought from Costco started unraveling after a few washes. Did their quality go down? Or does Costco carry the lower quality ones?

That explains why I was in love with the first pairs I got and didn't like the ones I got later!
