Which Socks to buy???

[Lumberpat73]

I've always used a liner sock with a midweight wool sock for hiking. I've heard so much about Smartwool socks and bought a pair today. They're the most comfortable socks i've ever worn but feel pretty thin. I'm worried about long term durability, should I invest money in these or something else?

Drymax socks are the best.

Get DarnTough brand socks if you want durability.

Smartwool socks are not the most durable. But they still are my #1 choice.

I like smartwool and wigwam

I like WrightSocks, ankle length. They are a double layer, and I don't get blisters wearing them. Not especially durable.

Darn Tough socks are awesome. I will never hike with smartwools vs. my DTs ever again.

[buzzamania]

I wear midweight Injinji toe socks and then the medium weight smartwools

[Croft]

Smartwool Pro's. Don't need liner socks with them. Carried two pairs at a time, wore out two pairs and came home with two pairs that still have hiking miles in them.

I like the heaviest smartwool socks ....never tried some of the others mentioned on this thread though

If it doesn't, it just has to live up to its warranty.

Darn Tough. Period. The most durable by far. And made in the USA!

[njordan2]

Fox River socks are the best. And, they are made in the USA.

[swjohnsey]

Wrightsocks also made in the U.S.A.

I like Bridgedale socks. But you need to buy a pair or 2 and try them out. I started out hiking with heavy full -grain leather boots with Thorlo and Smart Wool socks. But as my pack and shoes became lighter I started using lighter socks..

i used Smarwools on my thru. Went with the thinner ones, except in winter. Think I only wore through 2 pair, if memory serves correct.

Comfy. I did use liner socks. Kept smell down. Warm.
