After a bit of patient searching I've managed to snag a nearly-new pair of Rohan Super Striders breeks on eBay; quite a bargain at thirteen quid, I don't think they've actually been worn at all. I'm intending to use them for general hiking and camping wear, as well as cycling, but it's been a while since I last bought a pair of knee-length socks so I'm looking for recommendations.
Previously I've had generic "fishermen's socks" from the Army & Navy, which tended to be rather tight around the calf, and shooting socks from Barbour, which were far too "knobbly" and led to awful blisters. Can anyone suggest a good brand and supplier (Internet would be ideal) of knee-length, three-season walking socks, preferably reasonably priced (some walking socks these days seem to cost more than I pay for trousers)? Thanks in advance.
