While we might make endless jokes address the frustration of getting socks as a birthday or Christmas gift, they’re actually pretty useful, aren’t they?
And, let’s face it, if you don’t get given socks for Christmas then you spend much of the next year wearing old ones that have fabric missing or frayed or have mutated into a colour a far cry from originally intended.
Choosing the right pair of socks makes a difference in how you look and feel, and picking out pairs that can survive daily wear-and-tear means you can feel smug about them for a long time to come.
Yes, they might cost a little bit more than a multipack of five from the supermarket, but they’ll wear longer, feel better and mean you avoid that awkward ‘shoes-off’ moment where you realise you have a toe (or two) sticking out.
Here are the best durable socks for men out there right now. Go on, pull your socks up and order a pair.
