What wool socks?

Smartwool and Filson. To me the Filson feel better.

I think icebreaker is the best when it comes to merino wool. Smartwool and wigwam are good for socks, although I have had some scent issues with smartwool products...never with icebreaker. Spendy though.

I wore one pair of wigwam socks on a 50 mile backpacking trip over 4 days. They were still keeping my feet comfy, dry, and semi non-stinky. I have gone a week wearing one sock on less intense trips and they smell fine afterwards. Crazy how well merino wool works.

SmartWool. I wear them daily and they last for years!

x 2. I have both, and they're both great, but when you can find a deal on the Filsons, grab 'em.

Darn Tough boot socks I will second that but I havent tried any others yet.

In the cold, cotton is "white death". Holds moisture and will kill ya!

All good stuff recommended here. I love merino, and layer it to match conditions.

We are very lucky to have a outlet type mom & pop store that carries 71% merino wool socks for $2.50 a pair !!! I wear them all winter work and hunt. In late season when it drops to the teens I switch to my Cabelas calf length wool socks that are taller and thicker. I think they were $12 a pair ? May buy some Smartwools or others that are closer to 100% merino or Icelandic wools to try if I get the chance.....

I get Browning wool socks for x-mas every year. Usually use a combo of those and poly pro.

Under every pair of socks should be a pair of polypropelene or silk sock for its wicking abilities. It aalows your feet to stay dry and warm.

The ones my wife knits for me with Maine wool. How Cool is that.

[The Whittler]

For got to add that's 100% wool from sheep in Maine.

[Stone Knife]

Smart wool with liner socks also.

I went on a serious binge last month at Costco    :D   They sell a 4 pack of Kirkland wool socks for $11.  The blend is similar to Smartwool and the quality seems decent.  Also made in the USA.  Get'em while you can, they're a seasonal item!

Smart wool, wool power, Browning, Filson, are all realy good socks. I got a catalog from Orvis the other day and they have a sock that look realy good and they are at a realy good price!

[Knotter]

Thoro Mountaineering socks, Bass Pro sells a Merino sock at a good price.   If I had to choose - Thorlo hands down the best sock I've ever used.

Some people don't fare well with a poly layer for sweat wicking under the wool. Personally makes my feet a LOT dang colder. Have a friend that has the same problem.
