I've always worn thick wool socks during winter/early spring and regular old ankle height cotton socks in summer. It just occurred to me that wearing cotton anything is probably a bad idea and maybe that's part of why I get so hot in summer. Anyway, cost isn't a concern, just want comfortable/breathable/durable socks. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Swiftwick.

Don't be that guy anymore.

Thin wool ones. Smartwool makes thin cycling socks that are pretty good, but overpriced and don't really last. Any merino sock of about the same thickness will work great. I stock up when they go on sale.

This....Swiftwick socks are awesome.

Another +1 for Swiftwick.

SmartWool Outdoor Sport Ultra Light Micro Socks - Merino Wool - paid about $7.50/pr.

Currently my favorite. Didn't think wool would be so cool.

This, all year round.
My winter cycling shoes are insulated, so there is no point in thicker socks.

Thanks guys, ordered swiftwick

$15+ socks, I think I will stick to my Walmart ones.

$9 on amazon... $36 for 4 pairs of something that'll give me comfort is well worth it. The wool winter socks I have are $15 and I have 6 pairs drop in the bucket compared to what the rest of this hobby costs!

Dollar Tree $1 a pair....

Nike Dri-Fit running socks.
