The rule is buy the default-gendered variant. If there a special "men's section" or "women's section" for a certain product category it means you'll be ripped off.
Men's socks are higher durability
It's a lot more than socks. Went looking for a duffel coat once for work and checked both isles in stores. Mens coat - nice woven and well fulled 100 percent wool, thick quality stuff, Women's isle, cheaper felted wool half the thickness... Same price, same basic style, same store.
Ever since whenever I go looking for stuff I check both isles. Higher quality fabrics are generally reserved for men's items though women's stuff is priced the same. You'd never know the difference if you only shopped one gendered option.

I appreciate the misuse of isle instead of aisle. The mental imagery of navigating around stores compromised of isles makes me want to go shopping so I can go on an island hopping adventure looking for booty to haul back to my kingdom.
It could be highly inconvenient, since the Isle of Mann and Isla Mujeres are so far apart.
