The telegraph did something on ski socks.

For me, a decent price makes a good ski sock. And then once I've bought them I expect them to last for years and years as long as I look after them carefully. I wouldn't pay more than about £8 for a good pair of ski socks, so I should think these ones would suit me.

£8?! I am surprised they last longer than a week at that price ;)

The OH has quite chunky calfs and struggles with getting on some types. Are there any out there that are made with this In mind? Last year there were a couple of pairs she could not get over her elephant legs!

I have had a similar issue Icy......
Gave these people a call for advice and they were very helpful suggesting which brand would be best suited as they are all cut a bit different.

I wear thin compression socks that are shaped specifically to left and right feet

I have small feet and large calves - 21" circum, Nike do a range of footy/running socks that fit well and are wicking so low odour. I think they're about £8-10 per pair

We are talking about socks? All a bit over the top, nicht war?

Plenty good enough. Anything beyond this is just posing surely?
