Seems it is hard to find. Even in the north. I did find some nice socks for 17 dollars a pair.. Seemed a bit over priced to me. Or isn't that out of line these days?

Be careful if you opt to buy any European army surplus as the sizes tend to run way small. Hootie Teach a man to make fire and he'll be warm for the night.

Even Cabelas and Gander Mt mark down their stuff at the END of the season. before xmas stuff starts dominating the shelves. BARGAINS........

Members get an additional discount and lots of shipping/additional coupons too. He is right about the European sizes also. I have gotten really warm wool military pants from them, oh and a new tent this spring too. I got a PSE compound bow for my grandson for Christmas at an awesome price too. My next order will include their 3 pack of fleece mil hats. Rhymes

I can't knit very well but I can crochet, and when I also was looking for good socks I started making a pair. It sort of worked, everyone who saw me doing it got me wool socks for my birthday

Here in Norway we can find it everywhere, and at relatively reasonable price too, compared to the cost of other products.

I never would have spent that kind of cash on socks before, but my wife sells them and I get them from the reps usually free (I know good for me right). Smart wool is great, however I tend to like there medium to lighter ones better becouse of my sweaty feet, I have friends that are just the opposite! Some of the Wigwam socks also. I have socks that I run in and ware on a regular basis ( thinner ones like wigwam ingenous) that I have had for two years. White athletic cotton socks, pack of seven last aout two months or so. You may have to experiment to find what you like the best, ut in the long run you will e doing yourself a favor. And in my experience you want a wool blend. Usually anything morino wool, don't think I spelled that right, will be nice and soft. Watch out for moths in all wool also. Sorry to be so long winded.

I got one done now comes the fun part. Can I make the other one to match? I have a friend who knits wool socks for others. Her prices are very reasonable. You are hardly even paying for her yarn. If interested in contacting her. p.m. and I will give you her contact info. These are fun to knit and fun to wear! weaverpa or paskinner's other half

I got several pairs at goodwill for a $1 a pair. I've also knitted my own for me and my kids. Knitted socks have only been around since the 1600's before that they were sewn cloth or felted wool. Stuff some bits of wool in your shoes and they will felt on their own. Just because I've done this, remember that you can't wash wool the same way you do everything else. Hand wash cold with woolite or machine wash cold, delicate cycle and lay flat to dry. Heat+water+friction=a tiny rock hard wad of felt. Wool socks will felt some as you wear them anyways. If you want some waterproofing you can rub a SMALL amount of lanolin-available at the pharmacy-into your item. Too much lanolin is sticky and attracts grime. I've also found that the softer wools aren't quite as durable, but I would rather have soft than itchy. Ingvildr
