Smartwool is pretty hard to beat. Rag wool, esp. if it has cotton blended in, however, is about as bad as anything I've seen.

Fleece socks become matted pretty quickly and really have failed miserably for me, much to my surprise.

All you guys that hunt barefoot in the sub-zero snow are real men. Somehow, I've never met such people all the time I lived in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Iowa. I'm impressed. Wish I could do the same.

Maybe we need a good sock thread. I think I'll start one.
