I don't like any padding in my socks and very thin. Less blisters that way. I'll check those out thanks.
I like new socks. If I were independently wealthy I would only wear a (matching) pair once.

I do not like

Socks with holes in them.





Especially socks with Assholes in them.






it really creeped me out just doing research for this post.:finger:

Water is a great thermal conductor.....it sucks the heat away from you. I've had frostbite from ski boots that didn't totally dry out from the day before.

My hands got so cold on one trapping trip that I couldn't bend my middle finger & it felt "semi solid" when I grabbed it with my other hand. It blistered up bad for about a week & is still numb.

How long ago? I wanna say maybe 8-9 years ago I had a few toes not want to bend and where black n blue.....it was numb for a while then hyper-sensitive for a long time. Even long after cool water in the shower hurt and at first almost put me in tears. Funny now that I'm talking about it I can feel it again.

Amazing you did a thermal ablation on your nerves and didn't have any full thickness skin loss! Usually when it gets that deep there's skin grafts, or worse, involved.

What do you recommend for socks?
I've worn Redhead wool socks for many years and they are great.

Thick, warm, soft, and definitely don't wear out fast.
As a matter of fact, I'm wearing them now :mrgreen:

Bummer that Bass Pro discontinued the lifetime warranty but they're still a great deal @ $12.

Never mind.
Looks like they went with a different sock that's not as good after discontinuing the lifetime warranty.

So disappointed. I bought 6 pairs and have been wearing them regularly for many years. They are my favorite socks.

That's a shame. I have a Bass Pro close by. Sigh so it's mail order for me.

I prefer no socks in the summer, and thin black socks in the winter. If i’m hiking up in the mountains, I have thicker socks that I wear to prevent blisters.
