The black swazi ones part Marina and one of the few socks in a true size small to fit my size 7 feet. Wear them for work, tramping and hunting so pretty much 7 days a week. Current ones are 2 years old with no wear or tear

Yeah me too.
I tried some of the Haddards socks, they are pretty good but I find they slip down faster than the Warehouse/Nato socks.

Those Nato socks last for bloody ages.

just the work socks from farm lands i think there might be three options thermal-work- gumboot. Get good wear out of them easy couple years plus. I just buy a three pack every 12 months and add them in to the weekly rotation. Can go through couple pairs off socks a day during winter months at work.
One of the best wearing socks i have owned

With the comfort of good boots today, no great need for thick socks. Icebreaker or similar merino light hiking and a mid weight version for some winter use.

I have a few different pairs. Lightweight for summer and heavier for winter.
Also have A pair of Thorlo socks that I was given. Just as nice as the Bridgedale imo

Up until recently i'd only really used the work socks from Farmlands, but have recently tried a pair of the Macpac Expedition socks and I really like them.

Yeah their good. The last lot of gumboot ones didn't last too well but that was on account of a puppy

I wear the bridgedale coolmax liner socks under what ever woolen sock is lying around and they have been great. They stop any of the issues with heavy weaved fibres. No feet issues at all after getting them.

Bridgedale or icebreaker, best thing with the icebreakers are if they get a hole you take them back to shop and get a new pair

Durex

I just run the thicker tradie brand socks form the warehouse. Day in, day out in work boots and when I get out on the hill and cant say I have a single complaint about them. Might try some fancy pants socks and see if they change my life.

I couldn't post the link from my phone earlier and couldn't remember what the socks were called but its these ones from Swazi here

They look quite short. Plus if I don't need a semi to go hunting I don't need swazi either.
