I called $40 wool socks a scam until my feet got wet on a 14 mile hike in the Olympics
Three miles in, my cotton socks were soaked and I could feel every blister forming, so I swapped to a pair my brother loaned me and finished the day dry and fine. That convinced me the price tag is about how many miles they last, not the brand. What socks actually held up for you past 500 miles?
