My new favorite socks!

These socks aren't cheap at all, but I now own three pairs! If you are looking for a well-padded sock that doesn't burn up your feet in heat or over long pack trips, this is the best sock I have ever found. I have tried several other brands but have always walked a balancing act between padding to comfort sore feet and temperature control during summer temperatures. These socks feel substantial enough on your feet to eliminate binding from laces and abrasion on foot pads, but keep your feet cool at the same time. They do seem a little fragile in the weaving around the heel, but I have had no problems so far.

After a year of wear (and three extended treks), a hole develops in the same place between the two levels of thickness on the back of the heel. They have a lifetime warranty, but frankly I don't want to hassle with returning old socks.
