wool sock advice

[deeaimond]

Hi Ladies!

need advice about wool socks. I'm headed to NY for winter again, and i'm not sure if it'll be as cold as last year. Last year was my first winter and a I had padded tights and all that but turns out i didn't like those. I also got reg thick socks from a consignment store, but i went for a simple walk and came back with blisters...

From what i've read here, wool socks are less likely to give blisters, and also there is a sale on smartwool socks at teamE...

So my feet get the coldest, and so i figure long wool socks will keep me warm enough in my jeans etc... (padded tights are hell when i head inside and walk ard...

now the million dollar question... can i wear ultra-light wool socks in warm weather also? will my feet sweat to death? will it be uncomfortable?

also, I like my socks tight, and i have really thin feet. How stretchy are the smartwool socks? can I get them in size small (size 4-6.5), even though my feet are a 7.5.

I don't wanna spend $60 on socks to wear for one month...(esp since i just spent $1500 on an air ticket...)

thanks in advance for any tips!
