Do you guys have some special socks that you like to shred with or do you just wear plain cotton socks? I know hikers like to wear wool.

I go the low cut cotton, too.
I don't know why, I just have alot of them in my sock draw.
Anyonw loosing socks, feel free to check my draw. I think the other end to the sock vortex (or is it vorticies, as there are undoubtidly many) is in my draw!

Are the dress socks "slippy"? Does your foot slide around any in your shoe?

These are my favorite socks now. Very thin, lots of feel, low cut. I play the best in these.

Daryl wears dress socks, too. I usually just go commando, with a little bit of moleskin to protect from blisters.
