Ideally wear a pair of snug-fitting, polyester, moisture-wicking socks. You may wish to wear ankle socks in the hotter summer months and calf-length socks in the winter. For those who ride in the colder months, you can wear wool socks so your feet remain dry and warm. But they can be on the bulky side, so you may wish to have a “winter” pair of shoes that will accommodate thicker socks.
