I'm cheap, alright. Theres only one thing i look for in socks thats generally a good indicator of quality, and that's a Left-Right anatomical fit. If the socks are not asymmetrical then they tend to be of poor quality and feel awful. So I stick to the socks that are labeled left and right. They feel just good enough to not feel cheap despite lacking the more premium feel of socks worth over twice as much.
The second thing i look for is pricing. I would consider anything beyond 8 dollars per pair to be expensive.
With that in mind, do you guys recommend anything in that price range with "good enough" quality? Links appreciated.
