Great Socks!

By Ranked #135 - Socks August 25, 2011

I was a little skeptical at spending this kind of cash at first on socks, but this is what I've found:
- They are not too hot for the summer. They breathe well and wick moisture away. Also very good for the winter inside steel toe boots (traditionally very cold on the toes!)
- They form a great cushion around your foot from stiffer boots. I have a few pairs and wear them to work with my heavy steel toe boots every day.
- They stay in place. For some reason some of my socks twist up. These have never done that.
- They don't stink when I take them off at the end of the day. Also, my boots smell better.
- They stay where you put them. No pulling your socks up all day.
- I can wear these multiple days without washing when I backpack, and they dry out superfast!

I've been trying something new: I'm really cheap and used to buy the cheapest of everything. It would wear out fast and then I'd have to buy more. I've been trying out nice stuff lately and have found that I save more money by purchasing something one time instead of 3 or 4. Awesome!
