SOCKS

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

I love the Kapital Chimayo socks, have 3 pairs and they go well with my engineers as well as other boots

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

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…

[toddjcoley]

I have left all my bonds at home, love there singlets and raglan's. cant beat a bluey! shame they are made all offshore now.

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.

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

[toddjcoley]

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 only use different types of woolpower socks, theyre swedish made and awesome. when its too hot for socks, i dont wear any ^_^

[toddjcoley]

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

[superfuzz]

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!

I love Darn Tough socks, use them from everything to working out to dress shoes

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.
