SOCKS
-
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.

picked these up at portsmouth's factory outlets. marked down to £5 from £15. bit girly but all good. took the last 3 pairs

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.

I'm with ya Brooks. I thought Smartwool were better, but they aren't quite as good as Darn Tough. I mean, everyone wants to wear what the military is wearing, so get some Darn Tough. It's what the USA military wears (along with Danner or New Balance).
And they're made in New England (VT to be exact).
…best socks around, period!
