I was wondering if they are any different than regular socks. And if so, in a positive way? Whats so special?
Thinner, wicks away sweat, better cushion (depending on price/quality).
I have DeFeet, CapoFormas, and some wool socks. I prefer the wool socks over the other two. They have a great feel, don't capture odor as easily, wick sweat away better, keeping your feet cooler on those hot summer days. Wool is very versatile; can be worn in all seasons--important if you do not live on the West Coast.
Downside is that wool is more expensive and higher maintenance than generic, synthetic socks.
