Looking for cheap socks. How much do you guys spend on socks?

Darn Tough socks.

They'll cost you closer to $15 on a good day, than $8, but that's the only time you'll have to buy them. Strange as it may seem, they appear to hold up better than cheaper socks, too.

Nothing’s cheap right now but Berkshire B seems to be fairly priced at the moment and great long term never sell stock

I've had luck in the past going to either TJ Maxx or Ross and finding saucony, under armour and sometimes Nike and Stance socks for dirt cheap- worth a look

TJ Maxx is on the way home from the gym so I swing in about once a month. You can typically find good technical socks at 4/$6.99 or 6/$8.99. I don't look for anatomical socks so I can't say for sure that you'll find them there. I can see how foot shape would make anatomical fit more important for some runners.

Try some Walmart specials. And1 has been my cheap go-to sock for years. I have tough feet, but I'll go 15 miles in them frequently.

Less than Patrick Howarth (Texas racist) runnerboy70 spends

I think of them as an investment for life and progeny, so I spend the majority of my income investing in them.

Just get yourself a good financial person/advisor. I don’t like the day in day out minutiae of trading. I have two people and entrust them to take care of it for me. They’ve done well for us and I trust them. We live in on my salary and invest the entirety of my wife’s. I make enough that we can also invest part of mine as well and have some to play with.

Walmart Reebok socks last me two years.

Max-Dot Socks!

Ross, Gabes, Walmart, etc., they all carry good quality socks for much less than a running store or running retail outlet charges.

Just few hours back I got 2 pair of socks for less than 3 $ to use in training .... But for race day i got expensive ones

Oh I got them from decathlon. Do you have that in the states

I like these - they've got R/L, a nice snug fit and are about $8/pr if you buy the three-pack:

I rarely spend a lot on socks - $5/pr is a big ask for me - but received these as a gift and am considering buying more.

I get whatever they sell at Target. They're not bad.

Partial to Swiftwick. The last a long time, and they are the perfect thin/thickness.

I get Feetures socks almost exclusively. People gift me them too. After you pay the initial price of approx $15 a pair, they have a lifetime guarantee. When they get a hole, you just go through their online return process and you can get a new pair for just shipping. Seems like a good deal to me, especially playing the long game. Plus they are the best socks in my opinion.

Wrightsocks do not have the asymmetrical fit you describe, but I've been happily wearing them for more than 20 years. Their retail price is around $15, but you can often find them on sale for <$10 per pair. With the exception of their thinnest, lightest weight ones, they've all lasted at least 5 years for me; many of them have lasted for close to 10 years.
