Yeah, for a couple weeks recently I was wearing CAD$35 thrift-store hiking boots (to be fair they were probably over $100 new) with CAD$50 merino socks.
My conclusion:
The socks *are* great. They’re remarkably comfortable especially compared to my lower-end wool socks, they’re well-built. They’re better than Walmart socks.
…but they’re not *fifty times* better than Walmart socks. And they cost fifty times as much.
I will be reserving them for hiking.
