I don't know if I'd go THAT far... I finally bought some wool socks a few weeks ago (one thicker wooly bully pair and one Defeet summer pair) and they were great. Not "man, this feels good" just more that I just didn't think about my feet ONCE on a 70 mile ride in hot weather.
I'll still wear all my other socks but I'm digging through the sock drawer for longer rides.
