Hey WWC (Wool Weenie Club)
Please help me with my xmas shopping.. what are some great wool "everyday" socks? Should still have great wool properties but aren't too thick for wearing in work shoes or tennies.. Should be in black or navy or other standard innocuous work colors for men.
Tks!

Smartwool makes their socks in a wide variety of thicknesses, styles, and colors. I live in Florida and wear Smartwool socks all year around--they even make really thin ones that are great under cycling shoes in summer. I'd check out what Sierra Trading Post has to offer before looking anywhere else, just because their prices are so great, though the selection is unpredictable.
Having said that, I admit that I haven't tried anyone else's wool socks, so there may be comparable quality and selection from other makers.Bad JuJu: Team TE Bianchista

I just have two or three different brands (plus non-branded stuff, but not for sports) and Smartwool are my favourite. The cycling ones are different from the running ones, you can feel the difference. They also come in different weights...

I have a couple pairs of Smartwools that I do like, but I love these DeFeet socks:
