A good pair of socks is one of those things you don?t think about every day, but you can't help noticing them when they go wrong. You know, the ones that never hug your ankle tightly enough or that develop heel and toe holes suspiciously quickly or those that have a single wash cycle that turns them into something completely different from what you bought?

There are many types of men's socks, and the type you choose depends on the activities you want to do, the clothes you wear, your personal preferences and a whole lot more. Here are a few of our favorites to get you started on your sock journey:


No Show Socks
A no-show sock is a simple option that hides just beneath the lip of a shoe. Perfect for slip-ons and boat shoes, these socks keep your feet cozy without exposing your lower legs to the elements and helping to reduce odors and shoe breakdown.

Ankle Socks
If you're a runner or you like to go to the gym regularly, you'll want a pair of socks that can handle your workout and provide extra comfort, such as a tab design to protect your Achilles or padding. They'll also come in a variety of thicknesses and strengths so you can find the right fit for your feet.

Dress Socks
The ultimate business sock, dress socks are typically made from long staple wool such as merino or cotton with a minimal amount of nylon and spandex for added durability. They are designed to be thinner than other hosiery so that they allow pants to move freely as you cross your legs, and are designed to be worn under dress shoes.
