I wear the shorty stripped socks that Riv used to sell almost
exclusively. Some tips. You have to have roomy shoes if the socks are
thick. You should not run around the house in your sock feet. You shouldn't
launder them nearly as often as cotton or other socks. They seem to hold

Only 30% wool, but these from Duluth Trading wear well:

I like the Smartwool socks from REI as well.

I only wear wool socks, for cycling and running. Most of them are by
Smartwool, but I have some from Rivendell (LOVE the fluffy hot pink
ones) - including the wool stripey ones (grey/white), some from
Columbia Sportswear, and some from Teko (equal opportunity sock buyer,
that's me). I like the th
My wife also loves her pair.
For my socks it's often the Striped socks from Rivendell. Either
shorty or longer. Plus it's nice they are made in Minnesota. In
fact, purchased a couple of pairs a few years ago from them at the
State Fair.
Otherwise the REI or similar socks seem to hold up remark
Nope, my wife got a pair and loved them. She was very disappointed
that they were no longer available.

management is wool's core competency. And the most important thing
about socks, as far as I'm conce
i wear the kangaroos, and wear them for everything in the summer fall
spring. longer ones in the winter. they last longer than the wigwam
or smartwool for me, and are a huge improvement over cotton.

I recently picked up a pair of Smartwool cycling-specific socks at REI
for about $15 and I really like them. They're called "Ultra light
mini" or something like that. They come in black or white.
I think this these are them:

for me, sometimes the weave of wool socks is too coarse along with
sometimes the wool itself is not particularly soft. with a coarse
weave, my feet end up not too happy. i sometimes even find this to be
the case with fairly expensive ones from smartwool.
