SOCKS

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

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

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

If you want local hookups I'm just a PM away. Their quality doesn't seem to have dropped when they moved off-shore, which is something good

I'm really tempted by Gammarelli socks, as worn by the Pope. They go up to a size UK 13 / US 14 / EU 48, which is good for those of us with larger than average feet.
(OK, the Pope's are white, but purple is better. :D)

I can't speak to their socks, but I've noticed a decline in the quality of their underwear since they moved production offshore. Their old undies lasted me for years, the new ones are thinner and seem to lose their elasticity a lot quicker.

yes I recently got a short pair for running and been sampling them, they're well made and comfy, maybe slightly warm for running this time of year but I'm going to wear them for a half marathon in a few weeks and see how I like them then, love the guarantee for life, I will buy more. I think they make a lighter weight pair than the ones I have

Ok most brands we have been talking about have a few different lines of socks, eg lifestyle, hiking, hunting & running. What do people recommend in work boots? I am guessing hiking as lifestyle ones could be a bit thin.
