Best socks ever

What are your favourite socks? I have some Falke Softmerino but they go bobbly. I have some Transparenze ribbed wool socks but can't stand the feeling of the ribbed bit under my feet, also they feel a bit synthetic.

Does anyone have any fine wool socks they can recommend? Also after sleek ankle socks made to be seen.

Costco merino blend socks. So soft, warm and comfortable. Machine-washable.

I liked the free BAM socks, too.
Nice and stretchy; warm but not too thick.
They must have confidence in the quality of their product, to be sending out free pairs, in the hope that people will make a purchase from them.

Bam have never sent me free socks, even though i’ve bought loads. And T shirts! Sad

I'm another with a growing collection of free socks from Bam! They feel really lovely. One day I might even buy some Grin

For thin socks - BAM

For super thick fluffy socks - Converse

Ok, I wore the transparenze gennifer ribbed merino today for a test, they are weirdly snaggy and bobbly even though I’ve hardly ever worn them. I’m going to try cos.

I was going to say the Bam free socks!! Seemed to happen after I ordered something from boden. Must have forgotten to tick a marketing mail opt out as now I get all sorts of expensive catolgues throughly hr door but the free Bam socks make it worth it!

Boots own brand bamboo socks. I often by the men’s as they are a little longer but not massively when washed.

Bamboo socks form Aldi. They ahve slight cushioning on the heel and foot. I really hope thye have them again.

Bridgedale cotton hikers for wearing with boots or where a thicker sock is needed

I recently bought OH some ladies bamboo socks from The Sock Shop. They are super soft, and thinner than the Bridgedale bamboos we have

Sock shop have nice socks. Including bamboo. Shorter than average ankle socks, yet taller than trainer socks, so just the right length to sit just above the ankle bone.

I second Seasalt. I also got free BAM socks sent to me this week and they are very nice too.

Sorry to derail own thread but this pic is hilarious:

It's funny that they've styled the men's and women's socks the same way, that's unusual.

Another vote for Bam, but I prefer the feel of the bamboo socks from Thought (thetiesnkt not double thickness). Bam do better colours and designs though.

I love Falke and was lucky enough to pick up 10 pairs for 2.99 a pair yesterday. My feet will be stylish and toasty!
