Good quality socks ain’t cheap. You can get Chinese crap three for $10. I’ve done both. The former last forever and the latter get holes, rips or tears too soon. The Darn Tough brand are made in the USA and guaranteed for life. $25

The Uniqlo Fed ones I got, $7.90 a pair, best socks since the original Borg Fila socks late 70s.

Don’t feel bad at all. If they‘re high quality then it was money wisely spent. Good quality socks are hugely underrated. Cheap out on the pants or shirt but spend on the socks.

My $7 of 3 packs of sports socks from the local supermarket are the best.

Crazy trend started with Nike Elite basketball socks and bled over into other sports...other companies followed.
The fit of my shoe dictates the sock. I prefer a thiner sock in Ubersonics and a thicker sock in Barricades.
I used to prefer a thicker sock when I was younger but I blister wearing thick socks. I think the advancements in shoe cushioning offset the need for the sock to provide cushioning.
Bought the black Nike mid qtr tennis socks a few years ago for $13 and don't use them to play in. They're kinda awkward, don't wear well casually.
My go to's are the 6 pack Adidas from Marshall's and TJ Max for $9.99 that sells wise where for $20. Superlite is the thinner sock, can't think of the thicker sock.

Last weekend, I was in Las Vegas and was looking at a simple(time and date) Patek Phillipe watch that was $40,000. Even if I wanted to buy it, there were none in stock. Even their complicated $200,000 watches.

Material matters. I like about 50% poly 50% cotton.

Or you can buy a 12 pack at Costco and use the leftover to have a beer after each set for a month or two.

Welp. Stopped by the Alpharetta store to grab Diadora B.Icon's. Noticed a pair of socks. Grabbed em spur of the moment. Shoes were on sale for $105. Total was $140. Damn...that's alotta tax. Rushed shoes in the trunk, wifey was waiting in the car and I've been catching sharp barbs for my shoe habit.
Os1st or whatever socks...designed for plantar...were $24 !! Oh well they fit nice and the construction around the arch seem to pull the arch in a non resticting way. $24 tho

Not sure they are worth $25 but I got the ON socks and they are really nice. Very comfortable.

Darn tough socks are amazing. Lifetime guarantee that they stand by. Lots of styles to choose from too. And no they do not itch.

I was at a ski resort two years ago and saw a lot of geriatrics wearing On sneakers. I had no idea what they were. Now I see Lululemon guys my age in On clothes. One of the rare cases where the elderly got there first. I still prefer Lululemon because I used to think it was overly effeminate, and I like to see how far I've come.

Costco's Kirkland Athletic socks work for me. I can play a full out match and not get blisters.
But they're pretty expensive. I think I pay something like $1.75 per pair.

I’ve been wearing LuluLemon since 2016 and switched to On Clothes in 2020. On clothing is far superior for athletic purposes.

I've been an all Nike guy for a couple of decades.
The Nike Everyday Cushion Crew socks are my go to.
Can't stand low cut socks in the heat and humidity of South TX.
I've been buying different colors over the past 3-4 yrs.
They are holding up really well and they come in cool colors.
Usually about $15/pair and got some on sale at DSG for BO get 50% off next one.

I had gotten these and they tore my feet up so I stopped using them. However I have figured out if I put them over my fila socks it works out great
