    Do you mean the part about Wal-Mart nearly single-handedly destroying independent retail in America?

    I don't know, did you?

    Smart wool and get the light weight ones. A bit harder to find as everyone has the heavy keep your feet warm ones (even in Alabama :lmao:) but they are great.

    I'm aware of the concern.
    Seemed like it was more directed at the thread rather than a commentary on society. Hence the confusion.

    10-4. I should probably just shut up about it since no one really cares anyway.

    I wear a short ankle sock made from some type of moisture wicking (sp) material. Psycle Skinz under the leathers, or under armor whatever twirls your beanie.

    Coolmax Motorcycle Socks from MOTO-D, so comfortable and cooling.

    The sole of the sock is lined with a dotted traction grip which grips the inside boot, great feel while pivoting on the bike.

    2 page thread on socks, may as well comment...

    I like using tall, thin hiking socks. In a pinch I find that dress socks work well too. I don't have ultra sweaty feet though.

    I started wearing Under Armour long socks this year, really like 'em a lot. There's an UA outlet store nearby where I live, so I picked up several pairs at $8-10 a pair. Worth it IMO.

    Old man socks and garters.

    Seriously, two pages about socks?
    What about under wear?

    Can I get an Amen for dry junk?

    I get the Adidas soccer socks from Dicks. They are thin, have good air flow, have some compression to them and they are long.

    I hate it when my socks bunch up around my toes, and i hate it when they aren't tall enough to come past the top of my boots. The soccer socks work good. I don't like socks that are cotton and real thick. I feel like they reduce my feel through the pegs.
