if so what type of cycling socks are best?

I have cycling socks, hiking socks, swimming socks, fall hunting socks, winter fishing socks, dress socks, casual socks, and sock puppets. (just kidding!) The best sock are red camo wool, thick bottom, reinforced toe and heel, just-below-calf length. Not only are red faster, but camo is stealthy, and wool won't give you away with the stink after a couple days walking in swamps.
Wool DeFeet are fabulous in 60 deg cycling, thinner wool better up to about 80 deg, then it's usually cotton or synthetic for me. Thicker is better.
