Thread: Socks

The only kind of socks these days I can seem to find are the ones that do multiple foot sizes which I find bunch up behind my heel and cause blisters on my feed... What brands out there do you fullas recommend that are for specific foot sizes? or just in general.

i live in these:

Mate I have been wearing "Skins" socks of late in camouflage of course keep the calves / achilles in sync. Normal socks Explorer do a good job ex KMart

Thanks guys. @ebf those look good. I might cheek out the Hiking socks they sell.

Icebreaker Mens Hike. I use these every day on the hill, I don't even change them on a 5+ day trip. I have a backup 'calf' pair that I keep in dry bag. Bombproof, warm, comfortable, quality.

Yeah these and or bridgedales.

I love my Bridgedales.

Falke. Not sure how easy they are to find here. Smart wool otherwise.

How long are you guys getting out of a pair? Of the above posted? Also when you take them off at night do they leave fluff all over the floor (I don't see the problem but someone's complaining )

had about 2 years worth from 4 pairs - daily use, starting to wear thin on the heels. they have lasted longer than my boots

they do leave fluff on the carpet

I wear these for work/hunting/fishing/walking/going out for dinner/weddings/reading and sleeping if its cold.

Shit they must smell jut awesome! I had an uncle" gumboots" many years ago, mum used to tell us he never changed his socks, when they wore out he just put another pair over the top! Same uncle used to wear his prescription safety glasses, with the fly mesh side guards to the same places you wear your socks!!!!
