What type of socks do you guys wear? I’m looking for some knee or like high socks that are relatively skinny.

Merino Wool ultra thin socks with no padding. Smartwool's have worked well for me

Smartwool ski socks. Little to no padding. Honestly I only wear ski/ compression socks. Great for everything.

You should get two types. Smart wool zero cushion for when your liner is brand new and targeted/full cushion when your liner is packed out

+1 for dissent labs socks. I like the gfx compression socks, the nano tour ones are my favorite fit but they make my feet sweaty, mostly ski the dlx-wool version.


also CEP compression ski socks are really good but for me the fit on the foot is looser than the dissent labs
