I wear regular cotton socks and then a pair of thick wool socks over them.

Darntough have a double weave that can be tight for size, but dat warrenty!

Bridgedales are EXTREMELY comfy with padding and breathing ares where needed.

Smartwools are my heaviest socks, best cusioned socks and very nice, but seasonal till I get some low tops.

Which I LOVE my Bridgedales for!

I have the exact same boot. I use Smartwool PHD midweight and Darn Tough midweight. Never had any problems. Not too hot, and the wool is great if you have to wear the socks multiple days in a row. Synthetic always gets nasty after a day.

I've got two liner-sock sets. One is smartwool phd and the other is icebreaker hike medium +.

I prefer the smartwool.

Foxriver or darntough, whoever is on sale/isn't in the laundry bin, if I wear a thin liner sock I can keep the cushioned sock from stinking up as quickly. Or at least I've convinced myself.

Darn tough socks, and a pair of liner socks, to reduce friction and stop them from smelling so bad.

Most important step, do fucking get liners, especially if you are prone to blisters.

I wear Wigwams, and have a pair of Smartwool. I keep meaning to buy some Darn Tough socks. My father in law loves Red Head/Bass Pro socks. He duck hunts, not for hiking so much.
Merino wool is nice.
