Those socks you bought have about as much activated carbon in them as a cheap pair of Odor Eaters™, and work about as well. They'll also clog up just as fast. You could've saved yourself some money by just dusting the inside of your boots with baking soda before wearing them. It's a whole lot cheaper, works better, and kills the fungus that is responsible for 98% of the foot odor.
