Administrators Bryan Bosch Posted June 9, 2015 Administrators My Ride Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Whatever you do, avoid cotton. Sounds strange to say it, but a thin, quality wool sock is better in hot weather. It's very good at wicking sweat away. http://community.smartwool.com/why-merino-wool/the-comfort-of-merino/your-body-in-wool/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 +1 on the wool! I like smart wool with silver thread. Silver is antibacterial so it keeps the stank down. Have several pairs that have lasted 4 yrs. Pricey but worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyNuke Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I use wool socks too, either smart wool or REI brand wool socks. kinda pricey but I wear them almost every day in boots for work and they last several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyinTiger Posted September 16, 2015 My Ride Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) I use Bauer hockey socks for the past few years. They are boot length with ankle padding (thicker area in the sock for ice skates) that works really good with my Sidis and hiking boots. More so with the reduced lateral support of the hiking boots when I ride with them. The newest are some special blend to work with hot feet and cooler temps. About $20 a pair (black). https://www.bauer.com/hockey-apparel-on-ice-base-layer/premium/ng-performance-skate-sock Edited September 16, 2015 by FlyinTiger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyinTiger Posted September 16, 2015 My Ride Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Just want to add that after multiple people in the health professions mis diagnosing me with athletes foot, that resulted in two forms of staph infections that kept me down and out for months, I have to pay added attention to my feet. I have two forms of dermatitis that wage war on my feet (slice between your toes with razor blades to get the idea). No pity please. Doesn't help that I spend as much time as possible with my feet in sweaty shoes and boots, or slinging a fly rod while my feet soak in the river/stream or ocean I'm standing in. Hence, the best sock I can afford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kojack06 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) I really like the Klim vented socks. I wear them as a patrol officer also. They work well in hot Central Texas. Edited April 28, 2016 by kojack06 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bryan Bosch Posted April 28, 2016 Administrators My Ride Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 What are they made from Ko-j? I bet we have similar summer weather (hot/humid). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to hold up well. I machine wash them but line dry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilometer 9 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Darn Tough Mountaineering Over the Calf Sock. I've worn these in the military, hiking all day as a wildland fire fighter, on duty as a police officer, mx racing, track days, and now adventure riding. I've had the same 8 pairs since 2008, these are hands down the best made socks I have ever owned!! I've used these in +110 and -30 weather, they wick sweat, stay cushioned, and dry out super fast. And.........and....... life time guarantee!! Which I have never had to use. Just my 2 cents. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you go Darn Tough, you'll never look back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
