So I spent good time and money trying to find the most comfortable budget-friendly socks for my own personal use. I want to wake up every morning and put on my favorite socks. So my strategy is to get a huge mass of my favorite socks, put them on the pile, and never think about socks again. After reading some reviews on Amazon, I went and picked up six different kinds of socks to try some out to see which ones I liked best. I'm pretty picky. My feet are a little bit sweaty. I exercise a good amount. I run. I bike. I expect the socks to be cheap. I expect the socks to be comfortable. I expect the socks to last a long time. My absolute favorite sock that I picked up for daily use is the Haines Comfort Blend Max Cushion. This may look like other socks that you've seen before, but don't be full. I had some of these growing up and when I went back to try to buy some more, I was full two or three times at getting cheaper variants of the Haines socks. I got a couple extra bucks and hunt down the Max Cushion instead. They're way more durable. They're way more comfortable. I love them a lot. In the summer, they wick them moisture away and they're cool. In the winter, they're thick enough to retain heat. They're perfect all rounders. Honestly, for $15, you get something like six pairs of these. They must not be selling this sock in stores as much as they sell the cheaper version of this sock because I can only find this one online. They're worth hunting down. I think that cheaper version of this sock is something that I wouldn't even care to wear at all. The cheaper version of this sock is too thin. It's grainy. It's abrasive. This is made with different materials. It's thicker. It's higher quality. It's only a few bucks extra. I think the price difference is only like $3 to move up to the Comfort Blend Max. I put a link in the description below. It's an Amazon affiliate link, so if you happen to use that link to buy the socks, I get some percentage of that sale, which would be nice because I wasted a lot of money on really terrible socks trying to make this video. One of the other socks that I got on my hunt for the most comfortable daily wear socks is these M&Z ankle socks. What I really like about these, these are meant to be kind of sporty outdoor socks. They're pretty thin. They're super light weight and they're pretty much the only summertime socks. What I really like about these is that on the heel here, you may be able to see there's a raised tab that protects the back of your foot from the lip of your shoe in the back. This is a sweet design. I don't know why most socks don't implement this kind of thing, but if you ever end up rubbing the back of your foot raw from any type of activity that you do, for me it was biking last summer. I ended up having to look for a sock that had this. If I was going to put on a super lightweight shoe and I wanted to just run outside and maybe go canoeing or go hiking or something, I would pick these up because it's a super lightweight option that prevents the chafing and the shoe. Okay, finally one more sock that I picked up. This one is a bit out there compared to the other two. I just moved up to a Northern climate a few months ago and it's cold. I picked up this. This is a Merino Wool Real Tree Boot sock. I paid $30 to get two pairs of this sock. Like the Comfort Blend Max, this sock has a cheaper little brother that is horrible. The quality on the cheaper version of this sock is something that's laughable. I'll never understand people that sacrifice quality for cost. You're going to end up spending more money on the product in the long run if you don't get something durable. To be frank, I think these socks are amazing. I got to use these all last winter when it was super cold outside. Not just for wearing boots, but for any time I might be outside in the cold for long durations. This was an abnormally cold winter so maybe you won't need a sock like this if you live somewhere warmer. But I've got to say the quality is so good that I think no matter what the price is on the sock within reason, I would recommend this sock because it's super durable, it's super comfortable, it's thick, it protects your feet, it keeps you warm. That's what the socks that folks are doing and this sock is going to do it for a really long time. If you happen to have a recommendation for some great socks that you've tried and that you love and that you wear every day, please let me know in the description. You can help me out, help some other people out because we all just want to wear the most comfortable clothes possible, right?
