SOCKS

^ Thanks I'm no where near your sock game

[grandmasterben]

I'm sorry to break it to you, but your sock addiction had started and you can be at my level if you really try

[toddjcoley]

Got these at tk max. Made in GB, might be alright, £3.99 for two pairs.

My sock fetish had begun. After buying those wool sock and not being blown away, I rolled the dice on some wild stags from Japan and was really happy but I didn't stop there I then order wigwam merino wool socks and they are just amazing. I have a pair of thorlo socks coming for the missus too and will be grabbing some two feet ahead from gosport soon.  My girlfriend is a nurse and has been trying the socks I have bought and she has found a huge difference in how her feet feel after work.

Get some Merz B. Schwanen socks and be blown away. They are done on a loopwheel machine, one sock at a time.

^  I do all my running in Thorlo socks.  They are the best athletic socks, bar none.  Extremely comfortable and amazingly durable.  When you consider how long they last, they are without a doubt worth paying a few extra bucks for.  I recommend them wholeheartedly.

To be honest, I've been a bit disappointed with the Two Feet Ahead socks.  Always sagging.

I'm from the USA, so I've seen TFA socks at several retailers and they are not that great, especially for the price. I like Smartwool socks for winter and any low pro, Korean or USA made running socks for summer. Koreans make dope socks.

I mentioned the Merz socks because dude said he has a sock fetish.

[Qinhan]

No doubt.  If their socks are half as good as their henleys they must be awesome.

[toddjcoley]

I didn't think of Merz. I have been meaning to look in to there gear though. Might leave two feet on the shelf then.

Cotton blend vs Merion wool blend? Thoughts.

[madmonday]

merino just cause it wicks sweeat & moisture in general & retains heat.  oh & merino cause when wet it tends to retain heat, nothing like wearing cold wet cotton socks.  merino wool sucks when wet, like most fabrics to be honest, but not as much as cotton.  oh & merino is just kind of light & airy without feeling like you are wearing those thin dress socks.

good sock related question

[toddjcoley]

So where can I get Merz Merino wool socks. Can't find anyone doing them in uk in stock. (found cotton) saw them on the German red wing site but €15 for shipping.:o

have 3 pairs so far and totally have to agree with you on this one…"ok" when wearing boots but with "normal" gear they´re getting on my nerves pretty fast!

I have many, many pairs of TFA and I like them however, they do not hold a candle to SmartWool.
