Smart Wool for me in MI's northern winters. A pair of silk liners underneath is the key, even with the wool socks.

Well I went to the store and they did not have SmartWool so I bought a pair of Work n' Sport Outdoor Socks.  They are made of 71% Merino Wool, 21% Nylon, 7% polyester, 1% Spandex  Will these work?  They are not really heavy.  I can take them back, but I grabbed them because I was there.

I have several pairs in several thicknesses for the different boots I may wear during the season. Some were expensive some were BP/walmart specials. Anything with 70 plus of wool and no cotton seem to work fine.

been real happy with smartwool. I might take a look at those icelandic socks northwoods recommends. I read that Romny and Icelandic sheeps wool are the best wools available.

Smartwool is the way to go. I've got five pairs and have had them for a few years. I hiked the Grand Canyon with them twice and they're still just like new.

Fox River and Bridgedale.  I only wear wool socks,  even in the summer.  I don't even own cotton socks.  I have had one pair of Bridgedales for 7 years.  Smartwools are great as well and I have some but they don't outlast the first two I mentioned.

smartwools are the bomb!!! But at half the price I buy Rocky wool hikers at the local big box mart and it works for my area!!! 85% or so Merino wool... 95% of the performance at a much lower price...
