    I want a sock that allows slipping to occur between the sock and the sock liner, socks that hold their shape......no rolling, folding or stretching out, socks that wick away moisture, and socks that are not too tight at the calf.
    What are ya all happy with?
    Wigwams man, Wigwams.

    I have being using Wigwam Merino Light Hikers and Trail Mix Socks - also the Thorlo light hiker Socks - all seem good to me ! $16-20 depending whre you buy them !

    HAS anyone ever tried the Rocky Stretch Gore-Tex Oversocks yet $65.00 at MEC YIKES but if they keep your feet dry out there in the wet spring they are worth every penny and more ! RJ

    The COSTCO merino wool socks...........4 pair for $10.99 have turned out very well. I don't know if they stock them year around or not? Not too thick and don't get too stretched out in the foot.

    I bought 4 pairs of icebreaker socks once, still have 3 running strong and they've been washed hundreds of times.
    Have one pair of wigwams too, they're equally as good.
