Any brands to recommend?
Mongulai are the ones I’ve used the most.
Any brands to recommend?
I used to, recently though they have not been holding up, still work well but I wear hole through em anymore.have people had good experience with smartwool?
Why do you say they are significantly better than Merino wool which seems to be the go-to wool for socks?Mongolian Camel wool and/or Yak wool socks are significantly better than merino wool. Quality Alpaca is good as well.
I have sweaty feet, and I wear Darn Tough. I have no issues, but I do use deodorant on my feet also. Seems to make a big difference. I also wear a liner under them.Man all the people that love Darn Tough cannot have sweaty feet, those are the worst socks I have ever owned as a very sweaty foot guy. Always baffles me to see them the most recommended sock by far.
Start with a liner, pair with your favorite sock -- world of difference.
Liners: Injinji or XOSkin Toe Socks
Merino Socks: Farm-to-Feet Damascus
Bison Socks: Buffalo Wool Co. (variety of weights and options)
Yak/Camel Socks: Mongulai
Alpaca Socks: Haven't found a brand I like yet. Hollow and Void are okay, but didn't last long for me with Vivo's. (@Formidilosus what brand do you like? I haven't researched heavily.)
Interesting, I’ve never heard of that.I have sweaty feet, and I wear Darn Tough. I have no issues, but I do use deodorant on my feet also. Seems to make a big difference. I also wear a liner under them.
