I have a whole dresser drawer full of socks. Thin ones for some shoes, thick ones for other shoes, really thick for boots, dress socks, everyday socks, fuzzy socks for when I'm feeling cold, and brightly colored socks for days when I feel good. I wear the bright ones with my Mary Jane style Crocs. Then I feel just like a little kid again. I love socks!

When I used to wear socks all the time, I liked hanes ankle socks. My feet sweat so I prefer terry socks. Now I have neuropathy real bad, so I live in flip-flops, not a diabetic, been checked for that. In winter, I will wear socks and slippers, but when the neuropathy acts up, sometimes I just have to wear my flip-flops and have cold feet!

I wear black socks for work, I like the Target store brand (can't think of the name offhand though). They make them fairly consistently, so when I buy new ones they mix in with the old ones fine and I don't have to squint at a black sock forever to decide if it's the slightly smaller or slightly thicker version of the sock next to it.
When I'm not at work (and sometimes when I am), I like silly socks. When I need to treat myself I go shopping on sockdreams.com and buy myself something fun, like knee high socks with rockets or sloths on them. You can't see them when I'm wearing them (usually) but I know they're there! I'm also very fond of socks with stripes. I'm built like an elephant, so I LOVE that Sockdreams goes out of their way to label the knee-high socks that fit my wide calves.
Around the house, I'm barefoot all the time unless it's freezing; then I get to bust out my "fuzzy socks" - those extra thick type of socks that are not really meant to be worn with shoes. I usually get a few pair of those for Christmas so I don't worry about wearing them out.

Mine are the thick cushy diabetic socks I got at Walmart. They are so comfortable. I like anything that just slips on. I have one pair of shoes that tie. I have knee his for dress slip ons. I do have some non slip from the hospital. rarely wear those. I can't wear shoes with out socks. My feet sweat and smell awful. I'm ok with flip flops but when my feet get cold, I need my thick ones.

Try Dharma Trading.com
They have bamboo socks that are for dyeing, but they are really the best socks my family and I have ever found. Very soft, good a wicking away moisture and don't hold smells. So you could dye them any color you want but they come in a soft off white which is good too. Really table top dying, in zip lock bags is ever so easy and not expensive to do. Try the procion dyes from Dharma. My family likes the hoodies, t's and socks so much I do up batches every year for Christmas boxes. They are also not expensive at all. I like them better than the cotton ones. Oh yes and they hold up for a long time and even with lots of use, washing and drying and such stay very soft.
