Best Bang for your Buck Socks
I have several socks of varying cost levels: Specialized, Sock Guy, PBK, and C9 (Target running socks). They all seem about the same even though they range from a couple bucks each to twenty bucks. So which socks out there give you the BBftB™?

Pro Team Socks Bundle - Extra Long | Rapha
$70, but for that price you get 3 PAIRS of socks. Hard to beat.

For MY buck, the best bang I've had was with a 3-pack of "fun" dress socks from Target. They complement my hairy calfs nicely.

Costco sells a bundle of Adidas ankle socks that are synthetic and have worked as well if not better than my darn tough/smartwool's. I think it is something like $12 for the six pack. Stellar.

Someone has to say it in every thread, so here goes:
Fit is the most important factor!
If you don't make sure to research what size sock you are and make sure the sock fits, you won't be happy no matter how good a deal you got. You should probably get a professional sock fitting done, just to be sure...

Ridge Supply has 20% off sitewide today with code SOCKLOVE
In other news, Ridge Supply, Handlebar Moustache, and Sako7 are all just rebranded Defeets - sometimes you can find them on amazon for super cheap.

6 months on and that friend quit cycling and has turned to hard drugs to deal with the pain. Very sad.
Get socks that fit! It could save your life.
