Wool socks.
 
Cotton socks just lose their warmth when you perspire. And they don't even keep you warm in the first place.

heard Wool is good. Always stays warm and wicks moisture.

Do you guys wear wool socks during winter?

Goapics1 01-16-2009 02:23 PM

How are you perspiring in cotton socks if they are not warm enough?

Fritz88 01-16-2009 02:31 PM

wool kicks ass.

Gonzo 01-16-2009 02:33 PM

I like mine but my feet tend to sweat a bit more causing an odor that rivals a dead animal.

googlegoogle 01-16-2009 02:37 PM

heard they sell silver socks now that kill bacteria. Its thin and used underneath the wool sock.

I've been wearing these Ragg Wool socks for years. Seem to last forever, and always comfortable (at least for ME) summer and winter. YMMV, of course.

DMAC 01-16-2009 02:43 PM

Do wool socks get Herm fired? If so, then wear them!

I'm wearing Smartwool right now. I wear Smartwool and Thor-Lo most of the year.

I remember seeing dale earnhardt socks in alabama one time...I was glad they decided to start wearing socks

SLAG 01-16-2009 03:00 PM

A true wool allergy is extremely rare. More than likely you just have a sensitivity to course fibers.

Wool is pretty good. I got some hiking socks from Cabela's that are crazy warm and keep your feet dry. They are better, but expensive.

Bugeater 01-16-2009 07:38 PM

If I'm going to be out in the cold for an extended period of time I wear a pair of wool socks, but I always wear a pair of cotton underneath them because they're more comfortable.

googlegoogle 01-16-2009 07:53 PM

They sell moisture wicking thin liner socks to go under the wool.

All i can say is cotton tube socks have always sucked.

Cotton kills.

Also, if you know what smartwool socks you like, Sierra Trading Post usually has good deals:

Can I wear those comfortably with flip-flops?

These wool socks are the only socks I wear for out doors/work boots. Awesome socks that really last and keep your foot warm. Sorry, I do not know how to put the picture of them up.

If you appreciate the natural warmth and long-wearing qualities of wool, then these socks will make an excellent choice for all your outdoor activities. Add a pair of Cabela's liner socks for maximum wicking performance. This is an extra-heavyweight stretch boot sock made of 50% Merino wool/30% wool/10% nylon/9% acrylic/1% lycra® spandex. The Spandex™ supported rib top helps these socks keep their shape and keeps them from sliding down into your boots. Made in USA.

Miles 01-16-2009 09:05 PM

Smartwool socks are great.

RJ 01-16-2009 09:28 PM

Wool sex.


Baaaaaaa...

This is the only combination that keeps my feet warm while skiing. I've tried the hi-tech socks with various fibers, but they've never worked for me.
