THIS IS A SERIOUS QUESTION

I need some recommendations on socks. I'm serious. Ever year I put up with the same shitty ski socks that slide down my leg and end up giving me troubles with rubbing and bunching up. I'm a size 14 so it probably doesn't help, but I'm looking for someone who knows of some KICK ASS SOCKS that'll stay up around my calf and I can shred all day without having to pull em up every run!

Thanks NS
 
Any quality ski sock will work. You need skin tight long underwear on first. Then the socks go over the top of those. It's like layering rule No. 1
 
One of these two should be good for you -http://www.cepcompression.com/

Get some like baseball socks that go all the way up to your knee, in the spring I do that all the time to keep cool and they rarely slide around. If its to cold or whatever just slip another quality mid-calf sock over and it shouldn't slide.
 
You want to be wearing the thinnest, non-cotton (read: wool or synthetic) sock possible. The sock's job is not to insulate your foot- that's what the boot's liner is for. In a properly fit boot, all the sock needs to do is manage moisture. Therefore, look into options such as these:

Darn Tough Over-the-Calf Merino Ultra Light

Smartwool Ph.D. Ultra Light

and if money is of no conern: Falke SK4 Pro Race

There are a lot of great options out there, just make sure you get the thinnest, non-cotton option you can find.
