Smartwool or the REI version of.

Dont forget about " FEE-FEE " use

White cotton shorties, even with boots. Wearing shorts in the summer I probably look like a nerd in them and tennis shoes but I have the fashion sense of a color-blind clown. should look into that probably..

I wear those for work in the winter. The new Puma socks they have are pretty comfortable for lighter wear.

Might have to check those out ... thanks for the heads up!

A guy I worked with years ago said "your life is only as good as your socks"

I think he was on to something.

I really like Smartwool socks. I wear light ones in the summer and heavy in the winter

 

[The Nothing]

I had a SAD for awhile (sock acquisition disorder)
I'm a HUGE fan of my Smartwool socks, especially their "micro" socks since I wear shorts year 'round. There's just something about wool
Right there with Smartwool is Keen. I'm a fan, not wool, but comfy.
lastly
Also a big fan of Farm to Feet wool socks. US made wool. US made socks. Even US made cardstock for the packaging. They make a wading sock which is awesome if you're a wade fisherman. Knee height length keeps materials from bunching, cutting off circulation and causing cold feet.

Under armour charged cotton socks. They work for every application and last.

Darn Tough of Vermont. Merino Wool. They have a lifetime wear guarantee. Wear them out...get a hole in them...and they'll replace them for free. They'll be the last pair of socks you buy.

Whatever is on sale at Walmart

 

[Medic!]

I don't care what I wear. As long as the holes can be repositioned so my toes don't stick out.

 

[WAYNO]

I'm the prince and the pea when it comes to socks. If they don't fit 100% perfect, the rest of the package goes to the Goodwill. Every time I find socks that I like, I go back to buy more and too often they no longer carry them.

I like medium weight boot socks, polyester/cotton blend. If they don't stay up, I'll never wear them again.

Fred Meyer sometimes carries these...



Available in crew length, or over the calf boot length. I buy the store out whenever I find them.

WAYNO.

HEY EVERYBODY! @Medic! still wears "TUBE SOCKS"! Been there done that.

Costco socks. The ones with the gray heel/toe with red/black bars.

 

[RicInOR]

I have been wearing mostly cotton blends - from Freddies.
But the more I learn about Merino, the more I like it.

I tried to get some CostCo (Kirlland) wool - they were out of stock - online.
I ordered a pair of Darn Tough. What is difference between their Hunting and the Hikers?

Reviewers on Amazon say People Socks have changed - were great, now they seem to be sucking profits.


I'll look at some Smartwool.

 

[Motomom34]

I wear Hanes socks but not the value pack. I buy the good ones that are 3 to a pack. I found that they do not lose their shape. As for winter socks, I have many pairs of wool that I picked up at the Army Navy store plus quite a few pairs from Burton.

 

[teflon6string]

Thick wool socks, winter and summer. Those taller merino wool blend jobs in the winter (Costco) and the shorter Gold Toe (brand) wool blend ankle socks (Fred Meyer) in summer with shorts. Had this conversation a few times, and some ask if the wool makes my feet too warm or sweaty. Quite the opposite. Actually far less than any synthetic or cotton sock, thick or thin. Dry, cushioned and comfy in sneakers, dress shoes, hikers and snow boots.
