Poor quality control

I originally ordered these in l/xl because the pair of compression socks I already own are size large but these were much too big and I returned them and ordered the s/m. The first pair of s/m that I tried on and wore fit fine but the next day when I put on a second pair, they were too big. Not quite as big as the l/xl I had returned but somewhere in between the two sizes. I tried a third pair and they also fit. I double checked the packaging and they all say s/m. I checked all the socks and of the 7 pairs, 2 are too big and 1 pair has one large sock and one small sock as you can see on the left in the photo. I took a picture of the 5 pairs I haven’t worn so you can see the difference in size. I’m not going to bother to return them because I’ve already returned one set of these socks and I still ended up with 4 pairs of socks I can use, which for the price is still a good deal (hence the 3 stars). However, I’m not confident about how these will handle washing based on their quality control standards. For sizing purposes, I’m 5’7” with 17” calves and a size 9 1/2 foot. The l/xl came up over my knee caps and didn’t feel tight. The s/m comes almost up to my knee and feels like it provides mild to moderate compression. The compression isn’t as strong as the moderate futuro brand I own but it is enough to keep my ankles from swelling after standing all day and they’re easier to get on. If the socks were all the correct size, I would have given them 5 stars.
