When Sports Authority went out of business, I bought about 50 pairs of socks. All for about $1.50 a pop. All Nike Elite, Hyperelite, and Stance socks. The Elites and Hyperelites are my favorites for sure. So much padding and the perfect thickness. Thick enough to grip your insole, yet thin enough to where it doesn’t feel plastic on your feet. You can usually find uglier color ways at mall spots for like $4
Now that was a great investment, truly

dickies socks.

psockadelic are pretty legit actually as well. Darn Tough makes some good stuff.

Darn Tough socks if you want to splurge.
Merino wool and last forever. Got a lifetime warranty in case you do blow them out.

Couldn't agree with you more on their merino wool socks. Nice feel on the ankles too! Darn Tough is worth the money.

I fuck with Bombas, a little pricey but they’re quality and give a pair away for each pair you buy.

I really like these Uniqlo socks. They don't always have them in store and they're thicker than their usual fare. They're some kind of cotton/acrylic blend with a small amount of polyester, but not enough to make your feet smell. They last a couple years, in my experience, and are pretty cheap. I personally like the stripes at the top--they're understated, but also put out the vibe.

Also, yeah, Darn Tough. I've had nothing but good experiences with those. Mentally, I struggle with wearing wool socks when it's hot out, though. I'm told it's fine?

Stance is the corniest shit out. REI outlet or Sierra Trading Post usually has supportive hiking socks for a good price or I'll go with Muji/Uniqlo for thinner, more classy socks. I'll also buy Rototo or Anonymousism when I can afford it. Got one pair of Kapital socks but I wear them pretty sparingly. If you like solid cotton socks with an athletic feel, Socco socks are made in the USA and are much nicer than what Nike or Adidas does in that department. Realizing I could go on and on about socks...

Whatever is black, and on the clearance rack at Marshall's. Sometimes I'll find stance socks for like $1 a pair there which is cool, most recently I got 6 pairs of timberland ones for like $3.99.

Also I have a pair of those FP socks with the shin pad made out of their space age foam shit. They're comfortable enough that I usually forget I'm even wearing them until I get a shinner and feel nothing. They definitely work and just look like regular socks, in fact if I'm going to skate in shorts I usually wear those.

I wore whatever Hanes shit at Walmart for years, also when I wore Vans Old Skools, Eras and Half Cabs.
The last few years, I started taking my feet more seriously, after all the ankle and foot damage.

I've got 4 pair of Independent trucks socks that I haven't worn much. Actually pretty nice though
Adidas socks - 50% no show and 50% uh regular
Nike socks - same as above
Under Armour socks - all no show. Wear these for work.

Adidas ones seem a little thin to me and I only wear them with Adidas shoes because that makes sense.
Nike seem better, and yep, wear them with Nikes
Under Armour are probably the most comfy but make my feet sweat like the dickens.

I have a fair bit of shoes I guess, for different occasions.
Adidas:
3MC white: Sorta wear these as work shoes, but they're hella dirty and kinda hurt my feet (vulc)
Busenitz vulc black/white: never wear these, my feet feel terrible when I do. (reason I switched to cupsole)
Lucas white: Wear these as work shoes because they look kinda classy and are comfy
3ST.004 white: skate in these. Comfy on the heels. Awesome shoes.
Nike:
Torch 4: were my work shoes, now are my walking  shoes
Vapormax Plus: These are also walking shoes, but currently calling them my "dad shoes", dunno why
Team Classic: will be my next skate shoes when Adidas 3ST.004's die. Comfy!
Vans:
Half cabs: Always have a pair on deck. Only Vans I can wear without ache! (have not tried newer cupsoles)

Also have some Nike flip flops, Timberland hiking boots (for camping and hikes) and Sperry shoes for business meetings and mature things like that.

Athletic socks as they are made for sports, i.e., padded, breathable, and supportive/compressed in the right areas; plus they pull quad duty for skating, biking, hiking, and working out. Fuck those generic tube or crew socks (looking at you Hanes); I fucking hate when socks bunch up or start swimming around.

Skating in during the summer in Austin (miss you House Park <3) I learned my lesson fast; back then I skated the OG Busenitz (it has the mesh tongue for air flow) and paired them with some Adidas no-show socks that had a thin mesh top (that would rest right under the [meshed] tongue) that combo was super fucking breathable.

In cooler weather or if I am wearing hi/mids I use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MRZNTSH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Or these (synthetic but they don't fee like it, plus they aren't bulky:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HF15P8X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Right now I'm in these everyday (really nice basic sock and a great height for the Rowans).

For wearing in summer, you should choose socks made of cotton, in which high-quality synthetic materials are added for elasticity. Cotton will let in the air well, not cause allergies, and will not provoke excessive sweating. For winter, you can buy socks made of natural wool. They perfectly warm your feet, it's nice to sleep and walk at home in them. Wool, like other natural materials, is safe for health, although it feels rough, and not everyone likes it. In autumn or spring, it is very convenient to wear socks https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081TQ3L2Y because they are quite dense. And the legs breathe in them.

 Years ago I bought the Stance skate socks for no reason other than CCS had them mad cheap, I’ve yet to put a hole in a pair from wearing and I wear a set every day.

Recently for chilling around home I picked up some “Nordic Socks” and they’re bomb ass comfy

So, what’s it like being a bot? Is Amazon working you to the bone as well?
Any chance of a bot Union?

If you want an actual performance sport sock, Swiftwick are really good. Pretty expensive but they last forever.
