Default 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!

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!
