Re: Favorite socks for sneakers?

I like Gold Toe also and have been wearing them for years generally for walking and exercising with my New Balance sneakers.  Other than that I don't wear socks in the summer with my Skechers.  I do wear LL Bean wool blend socks in the winter as they fit nicely in my ankle boots and keep my feet toasty warm!    I also wear them if I walk outside on a cold day.

I like Maggie's organic socks.  They can be purchased on Amazon, their own website and even in Wegmans.

Re: Favorite socks for sneakers?

Tommy Copper has some that are tighter around the ankle, but pricier- I'm a sock lover, but sock snob. I dislike most socks, because too thick, too loose.  

im a 61/2 and most socks are too big in the foot so they slip down. Gotta get size small, but few brands offer sizes- 

I also like Talbots socks, nice cottony mix fabric, soft, small foot, wash well!

@haddon9 I prefer a shorter sock with sneakers when wearing shorts or crop-style pants.  Taller socks look bad in that case.

Re: Favorite socks for sneakers?

Only three choices for me, but so many variables.... what sneakers, what pants, where I"m going, what I'm going to be doing, and the weather.

 

  • Compression socks that I bought from Amazon (12 pairs).  Several different colors.

 

  • Knee-high stockings.

 

  • Black socks from Hanes.  They have a fuzzy/padded sole.  I bought 3 dozen pairs a couple of years ago .... all black.  Never have to worry about matching.

@SaveTheTurtles mine too! I have a pair of cotton Adidas ankle socks left over from the 80's that I used to wear to my aerobics classes and now I use them to wear to bed, after putting foot cream on. They're cotton and although thinner now, they still don't have any holes in them! 

 

I was recently on the hunt for socks to wear for exercising (walking on the treadmill) because the cheap cotton socks I've been wearing lately are developing holes in the toes. I remembered the longevity of the Adidas ones that I had bought way back when, so I bought a pack of Adidas socks, 3 white and 3 black (I would have preferred all white but they didn't have them) but, to my dismay, after removing them from their packaging, I discovered that they were polyester and not cotton! They HAVE to be cotton, otherwise I get blisters. ☹️ I should have paid more attention to the label before purchasing them.  Oh well... back to the hunt!

Re: Favorite socks for sneakers?

I don't wear socks with any sneaker. Uggs in the winter if it's cold without socks.
