      Very interesting thread. I cycle in an Aussie brand; Bonds, which I then wear as my work socks all day. $10/pair. They're pretty decent quality holding up cycling and office wear for over a year. Boots tear them to shreds…

          I wear Holeproof all day socks, for almost all duties. Best socks I've used, and I've tried many dozen..

          Probably only avail in Aus though.

            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.

                      Anybody ever tried Darn Tough socks? MikeC I'm looking at you…

                      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.

                              I just ordered some smartwool socks. I usually wear Fox River socks but decided to try out some smartwool this fall. I got three pairs of the medium hikers and two pairs of light hikers. Psyched to try them out!

                                  Not sure if anyone else here likes good socks but I love these socks. 80% merino wool.Yes they are womens but they have packs of 3 with colors that work for a guy. Black, grey, grey striped. 9.99 for a 3 pack. That is the cheapest merino wool sock I have found. I love merino wool. Cool in summer and warm in winter. Very comfortable.
                                  I go the largest size and they fit me great. I figured I would return them if they were too small.
                                  I am a measured 9 1/2. I would think they would fit 10 and maybe larger.

                                  I have the mens merino trail socks also but they are a thicker boot sock. The womans are a perfect everyday sock.
                                  I know they usually only carry the merino socks in the fall. I would get them now.

                                        Been very impressed with the Red Wings Arctic work socks ( Thanks Clint D for sorting these out for me ).  Warm comfortable and cushioned, great in a work boot.  I am using these most days while at work on the rig and they get hammered.  They stand up very well to hot washing ( offshore laundries are not well known for using careful washing cycles )

                                        For dress shoes I have been using some very nice thin socks from a traditional Italian brand called Sozzi Calze.  Some of the stripe designs are interesting.
