I was going to ask about the bowling shoes, but I didn't want to step on anyone's toes.
As far as socks go, I don't put a lot of thought into that, I use some kind of ankle length athletic socks from Wally World.

Man! I left work early yesterday and missed the start of this thread.
If you like pink socks, many places seem to be having sales on them. Google "pink sock" for examples.

Wow. You see, someone asked recently what's a Fred. This is a Fred. Because serious cyclists know the 13 should be upside down.

Yeah I always keep an eye out for sales on last years colorways from Defeet and their spinoffs. Cool designs. Swiftwicks are nice too.

I've been slowly replacing all my socks with wool socks, flat (dark) grey color. The local performance has a pair of factory seconds with minor defects that they sell at $15 for two pair.
