    Good Ski Socks (with all this talk of boot fit)

    I use the SmartWool "Snowboard" version, as opposed to the ski version. They fit better and have just enough padding in the right spot, yet are thin. Plus, they go over the calf and stay up all day.



    What do you use?

    Smartwool ultra light in Alpine boots and mid-weight in anything with thermo liners (AT and tele). Nothing keeps my feet dry like merino wool.

    Ultimax lightweights here. Prolly have 20 pair of them.

    I also think the Smartwool snowboard socks are kick ass, but feel they're slightly overpriced.

    What mtnlion said. I started using them 2 seasons ago and now have 4-5 pair. Ultimax ultralights are awesome. I bought a few extra pair end of last season cheap and even got them in kids sizes.

    another vote for smartwools (even though it seems as their quality has decreased lately).

    have an older pair of these that i love:

    What do you use?
    Can socks really help that? Can I stop ordering from internet pharmacies?
