The Boss Orange Axel crew socks are about as good as it gets in casual socks. Fabric is a blend (76% cotton, 23% polymide (nylon), and 1% elastane.) and they have a padded sole for extra comfort. These are the best socks I've come across for moisture management; I think that's the polymide, it seems to be a fairly rare "ingredient" for socks. Fit is great (I'm size 12/13 US and 46 Euro), the cuffs have just enough elastic to keep them up, but not enough that they get tight. The soft padded sole makes a big difference at the end of a long day. Made in Turkey. Highly recommended.
