The old USGI Olive drab socks we used to get when I was in were great.
The black ones sucked. |

I usually wear ankle socks (the thinnest cotton I can find) and then regular boot socks over them whenever I'm breaking new boots in or going to be rucking a lot

My feet sweat alot. I like Under Armour Heatgear Socks for when it is hot. Other than that, Issue Green socks work well. This. Except that I can't stand the issue socks. They only stay up until they are washed the first time. UA Heatgear stay up all day. |

Wigwam Ingenious socks are the best I've ever used. They absolutely destroy Smartwool, which goes limp and does not stay up. They have a liner built-in.

White socks. Seriously.
I have tried everything..Wigwams...Fox river...anything else at the PX thats super moisture wicking for only 9.99 etc...Nothing is better than white socks. Especially when you can wear them without getting bitched at for it, lol If you're changing your socks at least daily you'll be fine. |

When I was in the Army, I wore hot weather boots year around. In the summer I used military issue brown socks. For the winter, I wore a thicker cotton sock that had a NSN.
An interesting point, I had NCOs care more about my socks then which boot I wore. |

The best socks for military boots are the ones you can change most often. Cheap, white and new for the win. When I was in Afghanistan I wore a pair of white socks for two days and threw them away. It beat washing issue socks in a bucket and hoping half the nastiness was gone.
If you do enough walking your feet will be pretty damn tough, I don't think crazy $$$$$$ sock tech. is going to matter. |

I used to wear two pairs of socks. The first pair were as thin and silky/cottony as I could get––-like silky dress socks. The next were my issued wool socks. The first layer would let my feet breath a little and keep the wool socks from bunching up when they got soaked (usually with sweat). Then, I'd change socks about half way through the day. ^ This is the correct answer. While roadmarching, we would put on a pair of calf length panty hose under our socks...never a blister because it allows your foot to slip on the rubbing spots instead of rub and get a blister. Yes...i'm serious. Not the first time I have heard this, Came from my best friend when he did alot of this when he was with the 82nd. We had a guy try this in basic training...well, he wore dress socks because they were nice and smooth/silky/slippery...but he didn't wear the normal socks over them. He was a stumbling, hobbling mess and fell out of the march about halfway through. Most of the bottom of his feet fell off, they became 1 gigantic blister. Apparently too much slipping and sliding creates HEAT from the FRICTION and yeah...it was nasty. |

I really like the current green issued socks.
They were great while deployed to Kuwait and Iraq.
I tried a few lighter weight socks during the summer over there and they were comfortable but stank and one of the brands seemed to cause or at least promote athlete's foot. I'm currently wearing them in issued Bates temperate weather boots, and will continue to wear them as soon as my Redwings arrive. |

Huge +1 to Fox River
If you're going to do heavy walking then get the liners- they are sliky/smooth/like panty hose. Whenever I'm going to do a ruck I put a liner on underneath a pair of normal fox rivers and I don't get any blisters. Granted I've done a couple of rucks in just Fox Rivers and have been fine. |

I'm 30, and have been wearing jungle boots since I was a kid snapping up old USGI Vietnam issue boots in the surplus store. Even before joining the military, I had some tough ass feet.
I've put thousands, and thousands, and thousands, and thousands of miles on Welco/Ro-search, and Altama jungle and desert boots as a kid, in the military, and now as a civilian adult. I've worn all kinds of socks as well. Primarily on long humps nothing more that dress socks under issue black socks. It worked better than pretty much everything. Once in Iraq, we were authorized to wear plain white cotton socks. It was pretty nice. Don't know if I'd try do do some crazy ass humps with them, but when it's 126 air temp in the shade, and the pavement's cooking (Or, 140 in Kuwait and the sand feels on fire) it's nice not to have that extra insulation, and as a civvie I wear thick ass wool socks year round even if it's 75-80 out. IMHO one of the GREATEST improvements, is good insoles. More so than socks, and good boot laces (I.E. gutted paracord) that stay tight, and also stopping to re-tighten the laces. Also, as mentioned, conditioning. |
