I recently discovered that cotton socks are not the best choice for sweaty feet or odor resistance.

I've tried at least 4 brands of Merino wool socks sold here on Amazon and these are by far the best.

a) They don't slip down my ankle.

b) Minimal pilling.

c) They keep their shape.

d) The don't fade.

e) If you have smelly feet from wearing shoes all day the dirty socks will not stink up your closet or clothes hamper.

One helpful tip I got from reading the reviews. Wash them turned inside out in a lingerie bag. Dry normally. This works well.

I love 'em. I have two pairs now and will buy a few more pairs when I get the occasional 20% clothing promotional discount from amazon.
