I paid $14 per pair for nice thick athletic socks at Sports Authority. Really comfy though if you have to be on your feet for very long time. Bought about 4 pairs.

If that's a fashion rule then I gleefully break it all of the time. If I'm wearing a non-white, non-black sock then it is matching either my shoes or my shirt. Preferably both.

You people.
I am always low on socks. If I go on vacation I just buy some socks to get me by. And who sorts socks? What a waste of time and energy. Socks go in the box and then I just try to mate them up as close as I can |

Definitely 1 - 50. Considering I have about 50 pairs of socks, and just about every 3 years or so the socks start getting holes in them, I'd say they only last much less than 50 too.

These poll results are showing that we know very little about the socks that we wear every day. Either that, or there's a very wide variety in sock quality and we should be investing in high-quality socks if they're less than 10 times the price of cheap socks.

I would guess I have something like fifteen pairs of socks.
6 pair black dress socks 6 pair black sweat wicking ankle socks 3 pair winter boot socks If it's a nice enough day, I'm wearing flip-flops if I can get away with it. |

I ordered a couple pairs of Darn Tough Vermont socks. They have an unconditional lifetime guarantee.

Be careful. If the heel starts wearing thin, I hear that they come and kill you.
