Thin Sock or Thick Sock?

[Swamp Dog]

def something thin from SmartWool. I've even converted my husband to thin socks.

The only way I can wear my ski boots is with an extra thin sock...I think that's a good thing...

Fully agree.

And my feet are comfortable and warm.

No numb or pinched spots.

I bet they help you ski better...and I think $20 a pair is insane at the local ski shop so I mainly buy my ski socks from ems.com

I'll pay $10-11 in a pinch...or ski without sox.

This thread is akin to asking which you prefer, thick or thin condom.


I like the smartwool. Too much poly makes my feet sweat, I like the wool blends. (for ski socks....not condoms!).

Smartwool ski socks for me

Sorry doc, those aren't the ultralights. Ultralights have no padding:

Those are what I wear. They NEVER go on sale either. I have been looking for years for a cheap sale so I could stock up but always end up paying full retail for my annual replacement pair.

Well, just got mine in. They seem real nice, but for some reason I was expecting them to be even thinner. Felt much better than normal socks in my Kryptons. I think once I get the liner heat molded, they'll be great boots for me.

I just bought 2 pair at Joe Jones tent sale in North Conway for 7.50 a pair. They really work good.

I think these are the best socks.

Bridgedale, not cheap but worth the bucks

I also wear under amour hockey liners as well as the smart wool socks mentioned all over this thread

I've been using a hiking liner sock for a few years now with great success. What's nice is I can pick them up at the local Sports Authority for about $5 and they keep my feet nice and warm/dry in even the coldest weather. I usually buy an extra pair before the start of each season, but I've yet to wear a pair out.

Thin, either Smartwool or Hot Chilis, something like that but thin ones.
