These grey and white stripe socks are ones I don;t wear too often. Because of that, I’m not 100% sure where they come from. I think they are from Sock 101 which is now known as School of Sock. Anyway, the socks are a mid-weight but a bit on the short side for a crew. The stripes continue around the entire sock, though you can see the seam where they don’t quite sync up on the sole of the foot and running up the back of the leg. The grey toe, heal, and cuff accents are a good addition to break up all the stripes. The socks fit pretty well overall, but the do slide down a bit throughout the day. I will give these a 3 out of 5.

These are the slate prism crew socks from Pair of Thieves.These are very nicely cushioned on the bottom but have venting mesh on top of the foot. Because of this, they can easily be worn in the summer months. In addition to the cushioned sole, the arch support make these a really comfortable sock to wear through the day. They also stay up pretty well. While the solid grey may not be exciting, sometimes you need a straight forward sock. Overall, I give these a 4.5 out of 5.

These are the super hero socks from @sockittomeinc in their rainbow pattern. Like all their socks, there is a lot of elastic material throughout the sock, so they fit the foot closely but comfortably. Because of the elastic material content, they stay up for the entire day with no real need to readjust them. The stripes wrap around the entire sock from the foot to the leg, with black accents at the toe, heel, and cuff. The lightning bolt accent on the sides of the leg are the hallmark of the super hero sock from Sock It To Me. Unfortunately, I don’t think you can get these from Sock It To Me anymore, unless you are a kid. But, I do really like these socks and I have several different versions of them which I may post later on. Until then, I will give these 5 lightning bolts out of 5.

These are the Boldfoot Statesman socks. These are mid weight socks that are good for all but the hottest days. The colors are bold, though these have faded over time through use. The socks do tend to fit a bit on the loose side, so they do slide down often throughout the day. The foot of the socks also doesn’t fit tightly, so it tends to slide a bit as well. The socks are made in the USA and a portion of their profits go to veteran charities. Overall, these socks aren’t bad, but I do like mine to fit a bit tighter than these do. Because of this, I will only give them 3 wings out of 5.

These Star Trek TOS socks were carried by @instathinkgeek for a number of years. Unfortunately, they have been retired. They were part of a 3 pack that included engineering (red), science (blue), and command (gold). The socks themselves are a medium weight, so they are good year round. The fabric blend has decent stretch, so they go on and come off easily. Additionally, they stay up pretty well and rarely need adjustment throughout the day. The star fleet insignia is knit into the sock so it doesn’t distort significantly. The contrasting toe, heal, and cuff are a nice touch to set off the solid red body of the sock and frame the insignia. As you can see, they don’t quite reach the calf, so they are on the shorter end of the crew size. Overall these are comfortable socks and they can be worn casually or for a work. I give them a solid 4 red shirts out of 5.

Another pair from @kbellsocks, these are the man on the moon crew socks. They are a little on the thicker side so they are a good fall to early spring sock. The astronaut with the flag is on each side of the sock, so there are no decisions as to which way to wear the sock needed. The camo pattern on the foot wraps around the entire foot. The black toe and heal are a nice bit of contrast that ties into the top of the sock. There is enough elastic material in the sock to keep it up without pinching which means they do not drop significantly throughout the day. With the amount of detail in the sock, these still stretch a decent amount so they slide on and off easily which I like. I really like these socks so I will give them 4.5 moon landings out of 5.
