[QUOTE="WanderingtheJakobsweg, post: 1094836, member: 105788"] I agree that there's a lot of hype and snobbery around wool, especially pure wool, and that it takes too long to dry. I think the list in the opening post is US centric as I have never seen any of those brands (though I've heard of "Darn Tough" and seen them on Amazon.de I think... and I know Icebreaker brand and Salomon shoes but not socks). I wear Yuedge hiking socks most of the time (both for hiking/ Camino and with jeans for every day use) and also take Otter socks (waterproof socks) for very wet ground especially if walking through wet grass or boggy areas is unavoidable. I wouldn't take Otter socks for a summer Camino in Spain or a mainly asphalt route obviously, but I'm walking"from my house door" in Germany and they've been useful! They're very warm but have saved me from trench foot (I've experienced walking 42km in one day through the Donauwald, which is a very boggy forest environment, and never want feet that saturated again!). My boots aren't fully waterproof and as I have awkward feet and spend many hundreds of € before I found boots which work for my feet I'd rather take waterproof socks than start again searching for waterproof boots which don't torture my feet!
