Hi Philip,
I replied to your email directly, but in case you missed it, please see below.
We haven't had any communication from Chup that the size has changed, and we do run a quick spot check when we get restocks on these and we didn't notice anything to drastic. These socks are made on old machines and are also hand linked so some variation is normal. We have also not had any other customers reach out regarding a change of size and its hard to tell without having the pair in front of me, but theres a chance it might just be the pair you have there.

Thanks everyone. Jack has been in touch. I wasn't meaning to sound an alarm just see if anyone has new vs old experience with these. I can't say I noticed my old ones tightening up much @mclaincausey but I almost always hang dry my socks. I guess I could do an experiment and hot soak one pair and then dry it to compare.

Rather than return these socks which would have cost the same as their value, I decided to take a gamble after a little chat with @mclaincausey
I wore them just like this new and they sucked. Super sloppy fit, felt like wearing sacks on my feet, feet were sweaty and cold. Probably the worst I've ever had.
I threw them in the wash and they appeared to tighten up. They stretched out quickly and I was back to hating them. But I kept at it and hot washed and hot dried them a couple more times. Given the synthetic fiber, it's surprising that they do this, but they're basically the same size now as my old original pairs.
After a couple more wears, The fit is much better but still a tad looser around the foot from the og models. Length is now on par with the sizing chart from chup imo.
There were two other pairs in this order with the heather/mix color that have both tightened up similarly but maybe more permanently. Those are doing good and feel just like the old ones (I also have solid colors of the old models).
Anyway, still a little disappointed in the experience compared to the old ones but they're almost the same now and at least very wearable.

@pechelman good to hear that my foggy recollection wasn’t too far off about the STF aspect of these. I noticed a pair was a bit loose still recently, they were either larger or just haven’t shrunk yet; maybe I’ve washed them less.
Best socks on the planet when they fit imo
