I am sick of socks having only two or three wears before they get a hole. They are not too cheap, 10-15 a pair. My nails are good, I do do walking, so maybe socks are made for a more sedentary lifestyle. I can’t wear tradie socks as they are too thick to fit in my shoes and I have wide feet. I have tried many brands and stores.
I bought some snoopy socks from typo/cotton on today, let’s see how they hold up.
What are your faves? Looking for some recommendations here.
I have switched mostly to men’s socks - my feet are right at the top of the standard size range for women, which means they are more stretched and wear holes quicker. The larger sizes of women’s socks are often a bit too big and less available, but the standard size in men’s business socks tends to work well.
For everyday I like the bonds with the cushioned soles. They come in different heights (low, crew etc). Seem to be on sale at least once a month. The colesworth underworks brand is similar. Not as thick like tradie socks, but thick enough that they don’t get holes easily. For thin dress socks, I find cotton more durable than bamboo.
Possum or alpaca socks are my favourite. Super warm and last for years. They’re thick though so might not work for you. I think I bought my last lot from Creswick Woollen Mill.
Hmm, I have spent obnoxious amounts on socks and really haven’t found ones that are all that… I think an old pair of snowboarding socks were my favourite for the functional aspect, but I hate the pilling if you wear them to bed.
Surprisingly, my boring Kmart socks have lasted a long time. I have quite a few pairs which might explain why it takes ages for a hole to appear.
My boring sock saga.

I’ve got holeproof explorers from the 90s.

I’ve have thought of that, even been thinking of buying mens shoes as I have wide feet.
I’ve been rocking fila socks since lockdowns.
White for home and gym and black ones for work.
4 years on and still got the same pairs
ok. And where did you buy these magic socks?
Rebel sport I think.
Maybe even target.
FILA the sports brand, make good socks.
Target definitely sells FILA brand, they are good quality and well prices.
Melb Central. Rail station level, left side if facing South.

Macpac socks are good - you can get thinner general ones that fit in regular shoes, not just the thick ones for hiking. They’re a bit expensive though

I love him. The man says, who has wide feet, the best socks he’s ever had are woollen socks he got from Aldi.
