Yes, I searched, let's see what socks you're wearing with your ski/snowboard boots? What works for you, any particular brand you recommend?
Thick woolies? Thin socks? Cotton? Barefoot? Two pairs? Fishnets? |

Might get flamed for this but I actually like just wearing a single pair of cotton socks. I have tried the wicking socks but I feel like my feet always want to slide around in my boots with them. Granted the cotton socks hold wetness but they dont allow my feet to slip around my boots like other socks. Just my two cents. Ill take the cheapie cotton socks over a 20 dollar pair of snowboard socks anyday.

Smartwool phD snowboarding socks with Light cushioning. They are cozy without being too bulky. $20/pair, but worth it in my opinion.

UnderArmour socks FTW! They don't really keep my super warm but I don't experience that too much so it's not an issue for me. They just feel so comfy.

The smartwool snowboard socks are great. It's warm, it wicks sweat, it's antimicrobial and it's comfy as hell.

Pair of burton socks. Not sure the name but I did review them, they are black red and green. I wouldn't be against other brands such as smart wool as the Burton were a lot for what they are.

Thin Hot Chilis socks I got off ebay for $2 a pair cause they are seconds, ski socks but I wear them with snowboard boots. Also have Fox River socks I got off Sierra that are made for left and right foot. They actually do feel different than socks that are made for either foot. My feet get too hot for thick or wool socks.

I have a couple pairs of 32 socks, a couple pairs of NorthFace, and 4 pairs of Eesa. 32 are the thinnest, best for spring conditions. I find NorthFace and Eesa to be similar thickness but NorthFace feels more durable, more solid feel. Firm compression around your foot. Nice and warm as well. Eesa's got a more relaxed fit but still very warm and comfortable.
One of my 32 socks ripped, size was too big and thus my heel sat further down than the designated heel area, probably wasn't meant to take that additional stress. Stitched it back up and will continue to wear, just not so snug in future to avoid ripping it again. |

I use either knee high running socks or soccer socks. Anything thicker will not work. My feet will get painful and go numb due to the tightness of my boots.

Last time I went to the mountain, I finally broke down and bought the $20 thin, alpaca socks from the pro shop since they said they are best for boarding.

The Burton socks are good but pricey; I bought a ton of them last year when they were 70%/80% off. My one complaint is that they seem to be made for people without calf muscles. Now I mostly use UnderArmor snowboard socks that seem to fit my feet/lower legs a little better.
I tried wearing a pair of ultra-thin Burton snowboard socks this weekend, and it just didn't work out too well. Feet kept slipping around on the inside. |

I use Nike compression socks that I wear for football. Main reason I wear long socks though is to prevent any rubbing against my boots. I do have snowboard socks though, but I only use those when its really cold.

I have a few pairs of Burton Emblem socks. Got them back in the good old Sierrasnowboard days when they were on a sick, and I mean SICK SALE. They are pretty warm. I do use toasty toes sometimes, but the socks are pretty good.

your feet slide around in your boots because they're too big. if they weren't too big, it wouldn't be possible, simple as that.

ive got some expensive wool socks that feel great, but most of my socks are the cheap wool ones meant for people who work in boots and are on their feet all day. only cost me like $3 a pair.
