Can't remember what they're called, will check when I get home but they are almost as thin as the silk ones you can buy. I bought them in Italy last year which isn't much help is it :roll:

Your ski boots are very probably too big!

I use smartwool socks.. somehow I keep losing them though so I am down from about 5 pairs to 2 and a half (lost a single sock as well).

They are usually £15-20 a pair.

Sorry, bit of a blonde moment then - I skied in boots that were too big for me for a while a few years ago and I thought I was going to lose a foot - how can boots that are too big for you hurt so much?!?

ski boots fit me fine thanks, i said the only place hurting me with the tube socks on were just under my knees where there was a line from socks too tight. boots comfiest i have ever had, when i am at work i have to work 'posh' shoes therefore no socks so diddy feet

I wear salomon socks,and really like the padding in front of the leg,yet not too thick on the bottom of the foot. I once wore my riding boot socks and had such sore shin's after,plus rub.
