I wear hiking socks made of at least 50% wool. The thicker the better. They are more expensive, but they're durable and comfortable.

Chec the inside of your shoes for roughness & snags!

Maybe look for kevlar or carbon fiber socks?

I really like (year round) Omniwool Merino Wool socks.

Wow! In one day?
My son loves socks for some reason, and I'm not joking when I say he probably has 80+ pairs of them. He recommends Adidas.

I like my Denali hiking socks, Green Treat dress socks and a couple of pairs of thick holeproof wonder socks that I just can't seem to wear out, although they are a bit rough. I've had them all for a couple of years, the hiking socks over 5.

Also tried bamboo socks, was very disappointed. Comfor was great, shortest lived socks in history.

But they have all kinds of fun socks. Of course they don't last forever, but what is life if you can't have fun socks?

Check out Stance socks. They were one of the first to add in a bit if spandex, making them quite comfy. I've also found they last a long time - my oldest pair is probably 6 years old. And you can get some funky patterns!

I knit my own and wear those when I need sturdy socks.

I travel quite a bit. Sitting for hours can be wearing so I use TravelOn socks. They help with circulation and they are well made.

I prefer Gold Toe Socks for overall quality, but a number of factors can go into how long any sock lasts.

Nike socks are pretty good. I usually buy the black ones. They last a long time for me. I think I have like 12 pair and only 1 of them developed a hole. Gotta clip those nails too.

just darn them by hand.

I've had good luck with Wolverine boot socks, I don't have much problems with my feet though (other than they are ugly.).

Features make some very good socks. they're wool, meant for runners (thus, you can find them at a running store). there's even a left sock and a right sock

Hey Marvin, you should look for socks that don't runaway on their own accord. I've got a cupboard drawer full of unpartnered, unmatching socks.

I suspect, that socks have a gender though I can't tell which is which. One of the partners does a runner.

Anyway I hope my drawer of unpartnered socks will produce some sockettes.

Good luck with the sock hunt!

My husband likes Macy's POLO and Alfani dress socks. The white socks for tennis are those yellow toe things. I think he gets them at SAM's.

I feel the same way about sheets. It's been YEARS since I've found decent sheets, despite the thread count.

"People's Socks" are really nice, but they're heavy/thick. That's one of the things I look for at auctions- new old stock vintage socks. Look for the Union Label.

I'd like to know too. I wear Stance socks, but even those get holes pretty quickly.

As much as Walmart is evil and must be destroyed, I buy my socks there.
I usually buy Hanes brand, or No Nonsense brand,. I beat the hell out of mine.
Within a short time (8-12 weeks), I start putting holes in them.
However, at about $8 per 6-pack, I don't feel too terrible about throwing them away when
they are too bad to wear. There is no way I'm going to pay more than that for socks.
I also hang onto a couple to use as dusting rags. They're really good for cleaning the blades
on the ceiling fans. Hope that helps.

Take the cheese graters off your feet.

What is going on with your feet that your socks don't last a day?
