![Ankle socks sold in India — a USOXO multipack from AJIO and adidas three- and five-packs from Myntra — arranged as a colour-block layout, on this page comparing AJIO and Myntra sock prices per pair]()
Neither shelf prices socks by the pair. Divide the packs out and AJIO's median pair costs Rs. 68 to Myntra's Rs. 83 — and its cheapest is Rs. 19 against Rs. 30.
We read both on 10 September 2026, 138 listings in all. Below: the per-pair arithmetic on each shelf, the three products that appear on both and what each retailer charges for them, and the one difference here that no discount can close.
📅 Both shelves read 10 September 2026
AJIO Rs. 68 a pair median vs Myntra Rs. 83
adidas 5-pack: Rs. 551 vs Rs. 479
📅 Update log:
10 Sep 2026 — first published. AJIO's 65 listings came from its own search response for socks, socks men and socks women; Myntra's 73 came from its men-socks, women-socks and socks listing pages, parsed from the page's own product JSON. Both were read on 10 September 2026 as a logged-out visitor with nothing purchased. Per-pair figures are our arithmetic on each listing's own stated pack size. Both retailers re-rank and re-price without notice, so we re-read both shelves and log what has changed here.
Nothing on either shelf is priced per pair
Socks are sold in packs of one to ten and neither retailer prints a per-pair price, which makes the numbers on the cards close to useless for comparison. On AJIO's shelf a pack costs a median of Rs. 240 and on Myntra's a median of Rs. 326, and those two figures tell you almost nothing, because AJIO's most common pack size is three and Myntra's is five.
So we divided every listing by the pair count stated in its own title. AJIO's median pair costs Rs. 68. Myntra's costs Rs. 83. AJIO's floor is Rs. 19 a pair — a USOXO three-pack at Rs. 57 — against Myntra's Rs. 30, and 22 of AJIO's 65 listings sit under Rs. 50 a pair against 7 of Myntra's 73.
That is a real gap and it holds across the whole cheap half of both shelves. It also reverses completely the moment you ask for a brand, as the next section shows.
| Measure | AJIO | Myntra |
|---|
| Sock listings read | 65 | 73 |
| Median price on the card | Rs. 240 | Rs. 326 |
| Median cost per pair | Rs. 68 | Rs. 83 |
| Cheapest pair on the shelf | Rs. 19 | Rs. 30 |
| Dearest pair on the shelf | Rs. 449 | Rs. 499 |
| Listings under Rs. 50 a pair | 22 of 65 | 7 of 73 |
| Median badge | 57% off | 61% off |
| Single-pair listings | 13 of 65 | 6 of 73 |
| Listings carrying a star rating | 0 of 65 | 49 of 73 |
| Largest rating count on the shelf | None published | 18,484 |
Three products on both shelves, and AJIO loses two of them
The Decathlon Kiprun Run 100 quick-dry running socks are the strangest row on this page. Both retailers charge Rs. 249. Both state an MRP of Rs. 399. Both print a 38% badge. The difference is what arrives: AJIO's listing title says Pack of 3 and Myntra's states no pack count at all — it reads as a single pair, and Myntra's own product page carries 5,988 ratings against AJIO's none. Identical price, identical badge, and only one of those two listings tells you how many socks are in the box.
On adidas the order flips. The ankle-length pack of five is Rs. 479 on Myntra and Rs. 551 on AJIO, both measured against the same stated MRP of Rs. 599 — so Myntra's 20% badge and AJIO's 8% are nothing more than the Rs. 72 price gap restated. The pack of three runs the same way: Rs. 367 on Myntra against Rs. 379 on AJIO, both off a stated Rs. 399.
The honest summary is that AJIO is the cheaper shelf for unbranded cotton multipacks and the dearer one for adidas. If you know the brand you want, check both; if you just want socks, the arithmetic favours AJIO.
| Same product, both shelves | AJIO | Myntra | What differs |
|---|
| Decathlon Kiprun Run 100 quick-dry | Rs. 249 — pack of 3 | Rs. 249 — no pack size stated | Same MRP Rs. 399, same 38% badge |
| adidas ankle-length, pack of 5 | Rs. 551 (Rs. 110 a pair) | Rs. 479 (Rs. 96 a pair) | Same MRP Rs. 599; 8% vs 20% badge |
| adidas ankle-length, pack of 3 | Rs. 379 (Rs. 126 a pair) | Rs. 367 (Rs. 122 a pair) | Same MRP Rs. 399; 5% vs 8% badge |
₹ Watch the pack count before the price. AJIO's most common pack size is three (31 of 65 listings) and Myntra's is five (28 of 73). AJIO also sells far more single pairs — 13 of 65 listings against Myntra's 6 — and singles are the most expensive way to buy socks on either shelf, from Rs. 39 to Rs. 449 a pair at AJIO and Rs. 249 to Rs. 499 at Myntra.
The cheap end of each shelf, per pair
AJIO's bottom six listings all sit at Rs. 26 a pair or below, and five of them are USOXO or HEBTROCO three-, five- and six-packs badged 82% to 89% off stated MRPs near Rs. 500 — list prices we can find no support for on a three-pack of cotton ankle socks, and which we quote as displayed rather than as savings.
Myntra's floor is different in kind. Its cheapest pair, Rs. 30 from a ten-pack at Rs. 299, carries no discount at all: the stated MRP equals the selling price. Below Rs. 50 a pair Myntra has only seven listings to AJIO's twenty-two.
Note the badge behaviour across both tables. AJIO's cheapest pairs carry its deepest badges; Myntra's cheapest pair carries none. Neither pattern helps you — on both shelves the percentage is calculated against a number the seller chose, and the only figure that survives the comparison is the rupees per pair.
| AJIO, cheapest per pair | Pack price | Pairs | Per pair | Off |
|---|
| USOXO Men Pack of 3 Ankle Length Socks | Rs. 57 | 3 | Rs. 19 | 89% |
| USOXO Pack of 3 Ankle-Length Socks | Rs. 65 | 3 | Rs. 22 | 87% |
| USOXO Men Pack of 6 Colourblocked Everyday Socks | Rs. 130 | 6 | Rs. 22 | 87% |

One shelf publishes ratings. The other publishes none
Not one of AJIO's 65 sock listings carries a star rating or a rating count. Not a few, not most — none. AJIO's own product API returns null for both fields on every sock we read, which is how that shelf behaves rather than a fault in our reading; we have found the same on AJIO's other apparel categories.
Forty-nine of Myntra's 73 do, and several carry serious volume: 18,484 ratings on an adidas three-pack, 10,418 on an HRX quarter-length pack, 6,373 on a Jockey three-pack. Myntra pools those counts across colourways, so each one describes a style rather than an exact assortment, but a pooled five-figure count is still evidence and a null is not.
That is the trade this comparison comes down to. AJIO is roughly eighteen percent cheaper at the median pair and, on the cheap end, dramatically so — Rs. 19 a pair against Rs. 30. What you give up for it is any published indication of whether the socks survive a wash.
| Listing | Retailer | Price | Ratings shown |
|---|
| adidas Men Pack Of 3 Ankle-Length Socks | Myntra | Rs. 367 | 4.4 · 18,484 |
| HRX Men Quarter-Length Pack of 3 | Myntra | Rs. 224 | 4.4 · 10,418 |
| Jockey Pack of 3 Compact Cotton Low Show | Myntra | Rs. 399 | 4.5 · 6,373 |

How this page was read, and what it does not tell you
Both shelves were read on the morning of 10 September 2026 as served to a logged-out visitor in India, with nothing purchased and no account used. The AJIO side is 65 listings from ajio.com's own search response for the queries “socks”, “socks men” and “socks women”. The Myntra side is 73 sock listings from myntra.com's men-socks, women-socks and socks listing pages, parsed from the page's own embedded product JSON. Every selling price, stated maximum retail price, star rating and rating count is the retailer's own published figure reproduced without adjustment.
The per-pair figures are ours: each listing's selling price divided by the pair count stated in its own title, rounded to the rupee. Where a title states no pack size we counted the listing as one pair, which is how both shelves present such listings and which is why the Decathlon row in the matched table is reported as a difference in what the listings say rather than as a proven difference in what ships — we did not buy either one. Medians, counts and the matching of products across shelves are also ours.
These are two samples of two much larger catalogues, taken once, from result sets both retailers rank and re-rank continuously, and the shelves are not stocked identically: AJIO's most common pack size is three and Myntra's is five, and AJIO lists twice as many single pairs, so median comparisons describe these samples rather than either retailer's pricing policy. Prices change without notice; coupon codes, bank card offers, minimum-cart thresholds, delivery charges and anything applied at checkout are not visible in listing data and can move your final price in either direction at either retailer, and the prices and terms shown at your checkout prevail over anything here. We cannot verify whether any stated maximum retail price was ever a live selling price and make no claim either way; no wrongdoing by AJIO, by Myntra, or by adidas, Decathlon, Jockey, HRX, USOXO, HEBTROCO, TRAZO, Jack & Jones, Dollar or any other brand named is alleged or implied. Ratings and rating counts are each retailer's own figures reproduced without auditing them; a shelf publishing no ratings is an observation about listing data, not a statement about product quality. Nothing here is a judgement of cotton quality, stitching, shrinkage, grip, durability or fit: no socks were bought, worn or washed by us, and a discount percentage is not a recommendation to buy.
The short version
Read on 10 September 2026 and divided by pack size, AJIO's median sock costs Rs. 68 a pair against Myntra's Rs. 83, and its floor is Rs. 19 a pair against Rs. 30. Twenty-two of AJIO's 65 listings sit under Rs. 50 a pair; seven of Myntra's 73 do.
Ask for a brand and it reverses. The adidas five-pack is Rs. 479 on Myntra against Rs. 551 on AJIO, off an identical stated MRP, and the three-pack is Rs. 12 cheaper on Myntra too. The Decathlon Kiprun is Rs. 249 on both, with AJIO's listing stating a pack of three and Myntra's stating no pack count at all.
None of AJIO's 65 listings publishes a star rating. Forty-nine of Myntra's 73 do, up to 18,484 on one adidas pack. Cheaper socks on one shelf, published evidence on the other.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is AJIO or Myntra cheaper for socks in September 2026?
Per pair, AJIO, on the shelves we read on 10 September 2026. AJIO's median works out at Rs. 68 a pair against Myntra's Rs. 83, its cheapest pair is Rs. 19 against Myntra's Rs. 30, and 22 of its 65 listings sit under Rs. 50 a pair against 7 of Myntra's 73. That reverses on branded packs: the same adidas ankle-length five-pack was Rs. 479 on Myntra and Rs. 551 on AJIO, and the three-pack Rs. 367 against Rs. 379. Checkout offers and minimum-cart thresholds at either retailer can change what you finally pay.
Why can't I compare sock prices between AJIO and Myntra directly?
Because almost every listing is a multipack and neither shelf prints a per-pair price. Pack sizes here run from one to ten, AJIO's most common pack is three and Myntra's is five, and a Rs. 240 card on one shelf can be better or worse value than a Rs. 326 card on the other depending entirely on what is inside. Divide the price by the pair count in the title before comparing anything. On these two shelves that single step moves the answer from “Myntra looks 36% dearer” to “Myntra is 22% dearer per pair”.
Do AJIO sock listings have customer ratings?
No. In this read none of AJIO's 65 sock listings carried a star rating or a rating count — AJIO's own product data returns null for both fields on every one, which is how the shelf behaves rather than a gap in our reading. Myntra published ratings on 49 of its 73, including 18,484 on an adidas three-pack and 10,418 on an HRX pack. Myntra pools rating counts across colourways, so they describe a style rather than the exact assortment shown. If published reviews matter to your decision, only one of these two shelves offers any.
What is the cheapest pack of socks on AJIO and Myntra?
On AJIO, a USOXO men's pack of three ankle-length socks at Rs. 57 — Rs. 19 a pair — ahead of a second USOXO three-pack at Rs. 65 and a six-pack at Rs. 130. On Myntra, a Blacktank pack of ten at Rs. 299, which works out at Rs. 30 a pair and carries no discount at all. Note the badges: AJIO's cheapest listings are marked 82% to 89% off stated MRPs near Rs. 500, figures we cannot verify and quote as displayed, while Myntra's cheapest pair is marked at zero.
Are the Decathlon socks really the same price on both?
The listings say so, and that is the interesting part. Both retailers showed the Kiprun Run 100 quick-dry running socks at Rs. 249, both against a stated MRP of Rs. 399, both badged 38% off. The difference is in what each listing states: AJIO's title reads “Pack of 3” and Myntra's states no pack count, which presents as a single pair. We did not buy either, so we report the difference as a difference between the two listings rather than as a proven difference in what ships — check the pack size on the live product page before ordering.
Prices & codes last verified: 10 September 2026
Both shelves behind this page were read on the morning of 10 September 2026 as served to a logged-out visitor in India, with nothing purchased and no account used. The AJIO side is 65 listings from ajio.com's own search response for the queries socks, socks men and socks women; the Myntra side is 73 sock listings from myntra.com's men-socks, women-socks and socks listing pages, parsed from the page's own embedded product JSON. Every selling price, stated maximum retail price, star rating and rating count is the retailer's own published figure reproduced without adjustment. The cost-per-pair figures are ours: each listing's selling price divided by the pair count stated in its own title and rounded to the rupee, with a listing that states no pack size counted as one pair, which is how both shelves present such listings. The Decathlon comparison is therefore a comparison of what the two listings state rather than a verified difference in what ships, since we bought neither; check the pack size on the live product page before ordering. These are two samples of two much larger catalogues, taken once, from result sets both retailers rank and re-rank continuously, and the shelves are not stocked identically: AJIO's most common pack size is three and Myntra's is five, and AJIO lists more than twice as many single pairs, so median comparisons describe these samples rather than either retailer's pricing policy. Prices change without notice; coupon codes, bank card offers, minimum-cart thresholds, delivery charges and anything applied at checkout are not visible in listing data and can move your final price in either direction at either retailer, and the prices and terms shown at your checkout prevail over anything here. We cannot verify whether any stated maximum retail price was ever a live selling price and make no claim either way — several AJIO listings state MRPs near Rs. 500 on three-packs of cotton ankle socks — and no wrongdoing by AJIO, by Myntra, or by adidas, Decathlon, Jockey, HRX, USOXO, HEBTROCO, TRAZO, Jack & Jones, Dollar, Blacktank, Moda Rapido, FIMS or any other brand named is alleged or implied. Ratings and rating counts are each retailer's own figures reproduced without auditing them, and Myntra's are pooled across colourways; a shelf publishing no ratings is an observation about listing data rather than a statement about product quality, sizing or after-sales service. Nothing here is a judgement of cotton quality, stitching, shrinkage, elastic grip, durability or fit — no socks were bought, worn or washed by us — and a discount percentage is not a recommendation to buy. Zoutons may earn a commission if you buy through links on this page; it does not change what you pay, and nothing here was reviewed or approved by AJIO, Myntra or any brand named.
