Lately I find myself having sweaty feet and it's so annoying and frustrating tbh! This is something new to me ( I don't know why, perhaps stress or toxins from bad eating habits ) so I never had to look for fancy socks and or shoes. I Would like to get some recommendations on socks that you have owned and your experiences with them.
Buy better quality dress socks. The pack of 3 for $9 will usually do what you're experiencing. Try a pair of these.
smartwool socks. the wool pulls moisture away from your feet and helps keep them dry. they are are pricey, but super comfortable. http://www.smartwool.com/socks-1/dress.html?gender=9914
Also make sure you put cedar wood shoetrees in your leather shoes when you're not wearing them, otherwise the moisture won't get absorbed.
I take my shoes off in the car and at work when I'm in the office. Keeps things fresh. If you're walking around downtown or something you're screwed.
Try ministry of supply. http://ministryofsupply.com/products/atlas-dress-socks The socks wick moisture away and are breathable. I have five pairs and swear by them. Their other stuff is also good--own a number of shirts and pants that have been a godsend in 100 degree weather.
I just posted this above. Just curious, but how'd you hear about them? I came across their store while in Boston last year.
I have learned to never be cheap on socks. For working out, I used to buy the jumbo 12-packs of Hanes from Wal-Mart for the longest time, but they were not very comfortable and it was already assumed that you would be throwing them out within a few months because of the holes. I have a few pairs of Nike Dri-fit running socks over 10 years old which I still wear (and wash) to this day.
I used to wear Smart Wool socks only, but I finally switched to Teko. Smart Wool socks are more expensive and the last 5 pairs I purchased shredded in just a few months. I think their quality has gone down. I never remembered them being so crappy. The Teko socks I purchased the last time I got Smart Wool socks (I was starting to get disappointed in Smart Wool) lasted about 5 times as long as the Smart Wool. I also tried a brand called Darn Tough, but I absolutely hate those socks. After a few hours of wearing them, it feels like I just put on a disgusting sock from the previous day. Check out Teko.
I got involved in a kickstarter of theirs a number of years ago. Over the past couple years, I have really gotten into functional wear, and ministry of supply delivers that for a casual work environment. For personal wear, I have found outlier, mission workshop, and nau as great options.
Either way, you should get wooden shoe trees for you dress shoes. They'll absorb odors and keep your shoes in nice condition. That's the main concern with sweaty feet.
i actually wear smartwool for bball, but for dress socks prefer the woolen versions of falke and gallo: http://www.falke.com/uk_en/men-sock...asion=sns_carrying_occasion_filter|Functional http://www.theartofgallo.com/man/socks-man/shopby/materiale_online-wool.html
