Socks?


Recommended Posts

What are you wearing.....
Looking for some input on some golf socks. I like the lowcut ones that ride around the heel, seems to lessen the golfers tan I get. I have tried alot of brands, but none that I have repeated, they either are too thin, or wear out too fast, or make my feet sweat too much, you get the idea. Anyone have any good brands they use and where did you get them?

One thing I noticed on tour was a lot of non TM/Adidas players wearing adidas socks. neither her nor there, just find it interesting to see Ernie Els and Vijay wearing an adidas logo on there socks. Wonder if there sponsors notice.

I'm having trouble finding a low cut sock that doesnt fall under my heel. All Puma socks I've tried do this. Most Adidas too, although I found one recently that doesn't. Maybe I should stop buying my socks at TJ Max.

Nike no shows, but not the dri-fit. Thorlos are great socks, but not easy to find and big money.

I can usually find Thorlos in The Walking Company shoe store which is in most major malls, I believe I also found some at Nordstrom as well. I agree they are very padded and expensive, but well worth it.

OK. get ready to laugh... I wear Joe Boxer brand sport socks from KMart. They are the ankle-cut ones, but they are super thick at the bottom providing very nice comfort. My wife picked them up one day and I totally love these socks! I made her go back and get more. They are probably less than half the price of UA, Nike, or any other "name" brand. Not ashamed at all.

I wear the no show model of running socks from BackCountry.com. If you get them on sale, they're less pricey. But they are super thin, wick away moisture, and fit right.

The old faithful 1000 Mile socks for me.

Not the cheapest, but they work brilliantly and last forever.

LOL!! I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing with you. Last year I was out of town for a tournament and I realized I had forgotten my golf socks. So I drag all my buddies into K-Mart at 9:00 PM the night before the tournament and picked up a 3 pack of them. They were fantastic. I still wear them today when I'm going out for a walk with SWMBO or to the gym. You're right they are very soft. K-Mart saved the day!!

I've found that I need to wear two socks to prevent rubbing/blisters, especially on hot days.
New Balance makes an ultra thin no-show sock that has a constriction band around the foot at the arch. I think Nike might have something similar.
Then I wear Footjoy ComfortSof rolltop/low cut or a Footjoy TechSof over that.

I don't have any moisture or rubbing problems in my shoes when I do that.

Look for the now show under performance and APF

These guys just make socks... trying to find a pair in a big box store that compares to these isn't easy.
