Did you ji—FUCK

I cannot stand wool or synthetic socks. They make my feet sweat and then get cold. I dont understand how anybody can stand them.

cotton socks stay dry, they grip the inside of the liner better, and they feel a million times better.

Have you tried not jizzing in them?


FR though hit up cust service. Wifey warrantied a pair that developed a pinhole (secretly from my weenie) and kept the holy ones. Worth a shot.

Probably wears jeans too.

Op do you not wash your socks after each use? That's nasty if not.

Only issue I have with socks is they get starchy after I hang dry them (since I'm afraid to use the dryer as I've had them shrink before). The toe boxes can get punched out on one side but if you alternate feet each time that solves that issue.

I really enjoy these socks: https://patriotfootbeds.com/products/elite-socks

Thin but with a little bit of padding on the shin and heal, seamless toe (no weird sock bunching around toes), wool blend, little bit of elastic at the top to prevent them from slipping down, and they don't get filthy (can be worn for a few days without washing).
