SOCKS

[tigerpac]

wigwam socks have served me well.  Made in the US and under $15 a pair for even their 'fancier' cool wool ones.

Anyone tried stance socks?

Yes. Pretty much the only socks i wear.  Even in uniform…

Just bought a stack of Icebreaker socks that were on sale.  The merino blend is fantastic to wear and surprisingly durable too.

There is a lady out of the UK that makes some pretty cool Merino wool socks….

I guess she makes them on the really old sock machines that are hand cranked.
Sort of like these:

These things almost look like primitive loop wheel machines…

Here is her shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/footfetishsocks?section_id=14739217&page=1 (Don’t mind the name…...)

OK with my Darn Tough socks.

Darn Tough socks or nothing.

Picked up some smartwool socks, going on reviews they were meant to be really good but I find them pretty average (falling down constantly) Looking for some nice thick socks with a flat toe seam, any recommendations?

[mclaincausey]

Mine never fall. Which ones did you get?

I love Smartwool also. I use them for basically everything hiking, skiing, running and in the office. They are nothing fancy like Anonymous ism but, as far as comfort nothing else compares.

I went for the hike mediums, maybe a hot wash to tighten them is in order.

I love their hiking socks

See above.

Smartwool = made in China, no lifetime (a legitimate one at that) guarantee

Darn Tough = made in Vermont, USA, legit lifetime guarantee

If it breaks, they will replace it.

Used to work in a shoe store that had a massive sock wall. We picked up Darn Tough and I have to say I was severely disappointed in the product. Socks wouldn't stay up on ankle and had multiple customers come back and complain that they would have holes after a few wears.

I'd say the best Made in USA merino wool sock is FITS out of Tennessee.

Do they have a seamless toe @rocket

Trying to find Darn Tough in the UK isn't as easy as I thought, but after putting my smartwool socks in the dryer they feel better so will try them for a bit longer.
