    I really rate the warfighter atheletic socks. Bloody good value. Very warm and comfortable. I wear boots all day everyday for work, and am on my feet for lots of the shift. They are all I wear now. I don’t wear any other socks at all, their socks cover all my wxcercise and casual needs. I have 5-6 pairs and have been wearing them for over a year now. Yet to wear a pair out. Made in nz at the ashburton factory too

    Just looked at those appear to be no small size which is what I need as a 6-10 size never fits a size 7 foot from any maker

    You could try the ashburton sock place they are made and see if they make something similar in a smaller size?

    Use a couple of pairs of light Icebreaker socks in the trail runners. Find two pairs helps a lot with blisters. A bit of a bonus with Icebreaker and Darn Tough is that they offer a life time replacement. So, once every 12 months back to Bivouac with my old pairs and replaced like for like for new, no questions asked. Job done.
