Hot weather socks
25C temperatures have spawned out of nowhere and I'm slowly realizing that I can't wear my usual thick wool socks anymore on this heat.
Any suggestions on good summer socks?
Requirements:
- Up to $15 per pair, willing to go up to that if they are worth it
- Not cotton, I don't like soggy stinky feet
- Cut low. Will be worn with low sneakers.
- Simple design, clean white would be ideal.
I've been looking at the falke climawool sneaker socks, but they are pretty expensive and I'm wondering if anything cheaper will do the trick whilst still being of good quality (pain points with cheap socks include poor toe links, holes near the heels developing quickly, too tight of a fit that compresses my foot, abrasive material that sticks on my foot when I yank my sock out, rough surfaces, loud designs).
Also if anyone has any experience with modal/viscose socks, your opinion will be appreciated 🙂
Thanks for reading

It’s pushing the budget but darn tough does thin wool running socks, you can very easily find discount codes and they will sell them in packs as well https://darntough.com/collections/mens-running-socks/products/mens-merino-wool-run-no-show-tab-ultra-lightweight-running-socks

Men's Run No Show Tab Ultra-Lightweight Running Sock
These Men's No Show Run socks are lightweight, breathable, and feature ultralight cushion underfoot to up their durability and rebound.
thin wool socks are really the only answer if u dont like cotton because it gets soggy
My go-to summer socks are Uniqlo Low Cut Socks (https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/products/E469996-000/00), $5. They are cotton/poly but are thin and lightweight enough that they don't make my feet soggy and stinky. They keep my feet cooler than any wool sock I have found (I think wool socks would quickly disintegrate if they were this thin). They are no show with penny loafers and low canvas sneakers.
No international shipping 😔
doesnt have the warranty but u should have smartwool and some other options in the EU
just look for merino wool socks
also i think darn tough has an eu store now? https://darntough.eu/collections/work-socks
