Socks
 
I wear shoes with socks everyday. What is your favorite brand of socks? I usually use the thin trouser socks but would like a soft thicker one, not no show or ankle cut type. Preferably no seams. I have looked online but would like some opinions from those that like their socks.

My husband and sister both like the diabetic type of socks - one brand is Dr. Scholl.

The thing I don't like about them - they tend to pill - but both DH and DS have commented on how comfortable they are to wear.

I like the no nonsense ankle socks at WM, they stay snug and they are sorta thick but very cushy

I wear Hane's crew socks, and those no show kind around the house. I wear socks usually all day, everyday because I rub Vick's on the soles of my feet. It really works for the coughing spells I get with my Asthma.

Have you thought about the knee high cable socks we all wore as little girls?

I buy all our socks, mine & hubbies from " Foot Smart " great choices, for all kinds of needs. Hubby used to always buy those 12 pack types of tube socks, had never had what I consider decent socks. Now, he thinks about his socks, and loves that he has the best socks for different situations,- boot socks when wearing work boots- no more sliding down problems with wearing boots. Comfortable travel socks, cool socks, warm socks, thin socks, thick cozy socks, support & compression socks, work socks, casual & dress socks- We have them all!

I am very fussy about my socks and like Hue socks.......no seams and not tight at the top.

Love the diabetic socks! Mine have never pilled though.

You'll probably laugh at this, but I wear the socks with the individual toes in them....I have toes that curl under the one next to it, and I get blisters and very sore feet if I wear any other sock with my tennis shoes. I have to buy a size larger shoe, but so what? I'd rather do that than to have feet that hurt!

Thanks so much for posting this resource! I wear crew socks with work boots for a particular sport and finding socks that work has become a challenge in most retail stores. This site looks awesome!
