Socks

I am currently wearing FJ ProDry socks but I am looking to change as they are not cheap and I would prefer something without a logo. I would prefer a no show style or maybe something that just rises a touch over the shoe to prevent slipping. I have heard stance socks are not bad but they are also not cheap either. I am also intrigued by Bombas as well. I am sure there are cheaper options out there.

Asher golf are my go-tos, but they might be more than FJ.

Uniqlo are pretty good, cheap and come without any logos.

I’ve tried G/FOREs and Stance but just started wearing FJs and love them. Stance were ok and I really liked G/FOREs!

I don't skimp on socks, think they are every bit as important as good shoes. Prefer Balega.

I wear Smartwool socks and they've been very good for keeping the feet from getting wet and stinky.

My wife loves Bombas. I just get whatever no show UA or Nike at the discount stores. I do have some G4 and they’re comfortable.

We're talking about socks. I mean you guys really have that much of a preference? So you're saying I should venture past the Under Armor low cut sock 6 packs from Sam's Club for $8.99?

Putterho not if that’s what works for you, no.

I walk probably 40+ rounds a year so I’m picky about socks.

Jaybananapantsarthur I'm with you my man. Socks are one of the LAST things you should try to save money on. I mean, you have no issues dropping $3500+ on a putter, $2000 on irons, etc., but you can't drop some coin on a good pair of socks? I walk most of my rounds since Covid hit and found out real quick how a good pair of socks makes a difference. I'm wearing a lot of stance tab socks for walking and love them (I wear Stance for almost everything).

Stance and kentwool have worked great for me. I walk most of my rounds.

The best socks and only socks I wear are Lulu Lemon. Extremely comfortable & perfect fit. I’m a 10.5 and get the M/L. Yes they’re $18/pack but have a lifetime guarantee (like all lulu lemon stuff). I always get them when they go on clearance. They have the best boxer briefs too. My boys thought I was crazy when I started wearing lulu years ago but it’s the most comfortable and well made “comfy” clothes I’ve worn.

CKirsch How often do they go on sale? (if you know)

TFixer5

CKirsch I was a Lulu guy for CrossFit until I found Ten Thousand, but Lulu does make nice socks and boxer briefs and I still wear them for the working out.

I only wear balega best socks in the game

DaHOF it’s random. If you go to their website, there’s a section called “we made too much” and that’s when I get them. I get the ones with “silver” as it’s supposed to keep odors away..I only buy their stuff on sale bc it’s so pricey. Wel worth it though.

I hate socks.

That being said, for the hiking adventure through the Mighty Five, I went with Darn Tough socks and really have been enjoying them. May have to buy some of their no show socks for the course.

Not even gonna lie... Target.... Hanes Cushioned No Show socks.... I used to wear exclusively Nike no shows... got too expensive. Then I went to Stance because I got a good deal.... not enough cushion for when I walked. Then I got a few pair of Bombas.... pretty good but their no show left part of my instep bare and the tongue would mess my foot up. Hanes cushioned no show have actually been perfect and I just refresh every year since they are dirt cheap.
