Socks?

Post by Mike_S » Sat Jan 28, 2023 10:32 am

Off the wall...

What kind of socks do you wear?

I try to always wear wool, unless I am doing outside filthy work in a hurry then I use whatever cotton sports socks I have at hand, cause I know they are getting soaked and need to be washed after one wear.

Dring the normal course of a week, I wear wool, more than one day at a time. They never keep foot odor, they don't get damp and keep the dampness next to the skin, and they are warm, or comfortable, whatever is needed.

I grew up with my mother knitting wool socks, I probably still have five or so pair still in good shape, and they have some age on them! Like about 30 for them! In recent years I have been wearing wool form Darn Tough, hikers, over calf boot/hunting and crew socks. Love them, can't say enough good about them. Made in Vermont.

Merino wool for socks, long underwear top and bottom and then a wool shirt, usually a Pendleton.

Depends on the season/climate. Also the activity I'm into and whatever else I'm wearing. Usually none in the summer unless I'm working on something or doing yard work.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Mostly Kirkland cotton. If I'm outside for a while, while it's really cold, I'll wear wool.

I hear ya!!!

I have to say when I wear cotton, I like Timberland - no idea where they are made, but they are a respectable weight, and last quite a few years.

In my neck of the woods, people rarely wear wool socks. Might have something to do with the seasons.

1. Really hot

2. Surface of the sun

3. Pretty hot

4. Not as hot

I do have one pair of warm socks. I think I wore them in 2020. Once.
