Back in the day people used to love the tube. Things has moved on a lot since then, so what makes a good one these days?
What makes a good ski sock?
Login
Thin, with minimal reinforcement on the "rubby" bits (technical term), no seams and shaped like a, well you know, a foot. Apologies to anyone with tube-shaped lower legs, but tube socks were never a good idea for anyone other than cheap-skate manufacturers...
Oh, and clean. That's good. 8)

Best ski socks Icy, are those impregnated with an odour eating compound :)

OK, to answer the question seriously, for me a good ski sock needs to do the following. Be comfortable, support my calf, wick away moisture, be warm, have no seems that can annoy you or cause issues, be fairly thin and finally have cushioning in just the right places, so shin area, heel and rear of ankle and the top of toes.
That is what makes a good sock for me.
