what type of socks are best

Hi and welcome to IMshopping.

If you are looking for socks for wearing when participating in sports, I found an article that lists the 5 best socks and why they are considered the best.

With one of the best trail networks in the country and a population stocked with ultrarunners, speed hikers, and weekend racers, Boulder, Colorado, is the Mecca of athleticism. So many runners in one location also makes for an ideal place to put the latest and greatest gear to the test. We asked 20 ultrahealthy types, from trail runners to triathletes, to use and abuse a wide range of running socks made from Earth-friendly bamboo, antibacterial silver, and other high-tech fabrics. Below are the ones our testers liked best.

Darn Tough Vermont Run/Bike 1/4 Cushion

Several ultrarunners raved about the cushioning and durability of these merino-wool socks. One even bragged about finishing seven ultramarathons--and all the training miles leading up to them--in a single pair.
Best For: Runners who prefer medium-thick socks for a wide range of distances, terrains, and sports all year round.

DeFeet Cloud 9 Regular Cuff

Testers appreciated the plush feel of these socks, which are made from a combination of moisture-wicking CoolMax fabric and abrasion-resistant Cordura nylon. Extra cushioning in the toes and heel, as well as two support strips on either side of the foot, yield a snug, stabilizing fit.
Best For: Long distances in cool weather. For fans of thick socks, these offer cushioning and support that are great for any terrain.

Bridgedale X-Hale Speed Diva and Demon

Overall, the Diva (women's) and Demon (men's) feel lightweight, which is remarkable given how much cushioning they provide for the heel and ball of the foot. The material used in these spots is a blend of merino wool and moisture-wicking yarn that keeps bunions and heels from getting red and chafing.
Best For: Any long run, no matter what the weather brings.

Teko EcoMerino Wool Ultra-Light Micro

These socks are constructed of sustainable merino wool that's soft and spongy--not itchy. Like all of Teko's styles, they feature a tight-knit seam that is much less pronounced, cutting back on chafing across the top of the toes.
Best For: Shorter distances. While they retain warmth well, the Ultra-Lights don't have the cushioning needed for longer runs.

Nike Elite Structure Running

The Structure features an innovative design that uses two layers of low-friction yarn to prevent blisters and a thicker weave in the heel and toe for cushioning and durability. Several testers noted how much they liked the extra support through the arch, provided by a Lycra band.
Best For: Marathoners, who'll appreciate how these socks keep their feet dry and reduce foot fatigue during long runs.
