I wear cycling socks pretty much every day, nearly year round whether cycling, at work or any old time.
I find them much more comfortable than most regular socks and they last much longer.
I wait until the "N" internet store has them on sale for $3.99 and buy half a dozen pair...I much have 30 pair...as they get too old for regular wear, dirty and stretched, they become "work in the yard socks" and last nearly forever.
