Costco Kirkland women’s fine merino wool hiking socks. I’m a 11 1/2 fit fine

Love them and some pretty fantastic colors 🌈🌈🌈. If not secure in your manhood can buy neutral colors

20 bucks for 4 pair . Great warm weather durable hiking sock or can wear with fav pair of skinny jeans


Don’t judge me😉

I won't judge you Tom  :chuckle:

If they’re back in stock for the coming season, try out the wool socks at Costco.. I think they’re in the neighborhood of $10/3 or 4 pack. I’ve been using them for the past 3-4 years year round. Haven’t worn out a pair yet.

I’ve used a fair number of the other high end brands and the Costco socks are just as good for the money.

Are they good for warm weather? I will be in back country for 10 days early september so most likely warm and sweaty
Been using them exclusively during hot, September hunts. Been using during my training rucks as well.

I know you said "not $20 a pair" but I love the Darn Tough socks I get at REI. They feel great and have a lifetime warranty. You do anything to get a hole in them they send you a new set.

In the early season when I'm wearing light boots I wear these by themselves. I love them- super comfortable, keep my feet a good temperature. I wear them all the time when Im not hunting.

Costco socks.... in August:September in December, to work, in dress shoes and slacks, in shorts, at the gym... Costco wool socks lol

 :yeah:

This is what I wear. I bought some of the same type of wool socks from Bass Pro a couple years ago.
This is all I wear with my hiking or hunting boots, Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter.

Darn Tough crew lite hikers are my favorite with a thicker and taller sock for winter - hunters or hikers.

You can literally send them in for any reason - they wear out, they don't fit, you don't like them, whatever.  They will e-mail you a code for credit and you can buy another pair.

I can get over 300 miles from a pair and then send them in and get another pair.  Plus, they are the best socks I have worn.  Google it and you will see they are well liked from PCT, AT and other long trail hikers, military, GoRuck and most other groups that put miles on and have tried most of the others.

Been using Georgia boot company socks I found at work sports. They have a light, medium and heavy. Pretty happy with them for around 10 bucks a pair. In my work boots for long days so like to keep my feet dryer and comfortable. Aren’t as nice as smartwools, but half the price.

Ps. I might be a little of a sock snob, or as my wife calls it fancy sock hoarder  :rolleyes: :chuckle:

I enjoy the first lite compression socks.
I enjoy my smartwool and darn tough.
I hated farm to feet.

People actually send back socks that have 300 sweaty miles on them?

Cotton socks from Walmart for 10 bucks for a dozen pair.  If it's warm, one pair.  If it's cold, maybe 3 pair.  Lol, I'm a cheapo.  :yike:

LOL, me too. Bi Mart.     I worry about boots, not socks.  On my hardcore trips Ill burn them to cut pack weight.

Now that's funny!! I get a good pair of Darn Tough socks and don't worry about them going bad, being unbreathable, etc.

Maybe its my size 15 state of mind.  I have a hard enough time getting the perfect boot.  If I can find a sock to get on my foot, Im thrilled.  :chuckle:

or Im just that simple. LOL
