3 dozen pairs of identical socks. Mine are black crew cut. I'll wear them until the last few pairs are worn through and I'll never have a sock without a mate.
This is how I roll.
I buy that merino wool though so you sure as shit aren’t getting it for under 100.
Still, all of the problems I had with my feet before the switch are gone.
You can still get wool blend from Costco.
Welcome to Costco. I love you.
For real though I get that 90% merino blend and I’m happy with it. I haven’t found anywhere cheaper. It’s about the same everywhere you look.
Everyone recommends washing them a lot less than regular socks but i just don’t have it i me so I buy a few dozen pairs. I only skip putting on a clean pair if I haven’t had a shower, and that’s rare. It’s usually the first thing I do every day.
don't cheap out on things that separate you from the ground, socks/shoes, tires, bed, work chair
You do you. I subscribe to the "variety is the spice of life" mindset. I need different styles for different use cases and different colors just for fun.
See, I do that with my shirts because shirts, and it makes sense. The main reason I don't do that with socks is because they're paired items.
