Since clients are allowed to use either resolved addresses or domain names, a convention from cURL exists to label the domain name variant of SOCKS5 "socks5h", and the other simply "socks5". A similar convention exists between SOCKS4a and SOCKS4.[18]

"I was just thinking one day, I bet I could figure out how to make socks people would really love and then give away the money from selling them. I thought, 'That sounds like fun,' so I did it."

Your socks are made with care in Haining, China, by Pacific Manufacturing. The company ensures workers are being treated well by complying with the BSCI Code of Conduct, which preserves the right of collective bargaining, bans child labor, and ensures a safe workplace (among much more).

Outdoor activities are tough on feet, so a pair of high-tech socks is your first line of defense for dry, comfortable and blister-free feet. While "technical socks" might sound funny, there's no denying the big improvement they make over your old all-cotton tube socks.

Athletic/multisport socks: This broad category ranges from traditional white gym socks (updated with moisture-wicking fabrics) to technical socks intended for cross-training and running. Most provide some sole cushioning but have minimal bulk overall.

Running socks: These range from thin liner socks with very little padding to those with dense cushioning in the heel and ball of the foot. Some runners prefer less padding for a better fit in their shoes; others like more padding for added cushioning and reduced foot fatigue.

Lightweight hiking socks: These relatively thin socks provide a good fit for hikers with high-volume feet (i.e., feet that are wide or have a high instep). They wick away moisture and offer modest cushioning in the heel and ball of the foot. They are thinner, especially on the top, than midweight socks and can be worn with or without liner socks.

Midweight backpacking socks: Their additional thickness gives a good fit to hikers with low-volume feet (i.e., feet that are narrow or have a low instep). They offer more padding in the heel and ball of the foot than do lightweight hiking socks, plus cushioning on the top of the foot and leg for comfort on long trails. They can be worn with or without liner socks.

Ski and snowboard socks: These are padded in the shin area and usually underfoot as well. Otherwise, they are thin and not intended to provide significant warmth; rather they are meant to protect your feet from pressure points and rubbing inside the boots. Their design also serves to not interfere with the energy needed to make quick turns.

Liner socks: These are worn under a pair of regular hiking socks. Typically made of synthetics such as CoolMax polyester, they pull moisture away from the feet to the outer sock where it can evaporate. Liner socks are popular with hikers because they can be washed and dried more quickly than regular socks on long trips.

Toe socks: Like gloves for your feet, seamless "toe socks" help prevent between-toe blisters. (Note: Between-toe blisters can also be the result of too-tight shoes.) Typically made of synthetic fibers, toe socks are intended for running or hiking.

Merino wool: The fine, itch-free fibers of merino wool have virtually replaced the scratchy ragg-wool socks previous generations used. Their biggest advantage is that they are thermostatic (temperature-regulating), so your feet stay comfortable in a wide range of temperatures. Wool can absorb up to 30% of its weight in water, which helps feet remain dry in most conditions.

Cotton: Cotton is not recommended for active uses, so you'll find few or no such styles at REI. The problem with 100% cotton socks is that they absorb sweat, saturate quickly and dry slowly, which is a perfect recipe for blisters.

Arch reinforcements: Some socks offer a tighter, reinforced weave in the arch to improve support. This is primarily helpful if you have high arches, but can be useful for those with regular arches or flat feet as well. Without proper support, arches can develop arch pain or even plantar fasciitis, which can cause severe pain in your heels. Keep in mind, though, that your footwear is the key factor for arch support.

Height: In many cases, this is merely a personal or style preference. However, crew and quarter socks do offer abrasion protection from your boot tops, so we recommend socks at least this tall when you're wearing mid- or high-cut boots.

Fit: To get the right size, look for manufacturer-specific size information on any REI.com product page. When you try on socks, pay attention to how they fit in the toe and the heel. Correct length is the key criteria. If a sock is too long, it will bunch up over your toes. If it's too short, the sock will slide down into the shoe and feel tight. For heavily padded socks, try them on with your shoes to ensure they fit comfortably without making your shoes too tight.

A: Fit is your #1 criteria, so it depends on your footwear. Counter-intuitively, midweight socks actually absorb more water than lightweight ones, which allows your feet to stay cooler and drier despite the extra bulk. Wool gets saturated a bit faster than synthetics, but they help regulate temperatures better.

A: Proper sock thickness depends on the fit of your footwear. If you have a low-volume foot, you'll probably want thicker socks; high-volume feet usually require thinner socks. Always try on socks with your shoes to make sure they fit comfortably.

A: Not necessarily. The most important factor is having your footwear fit right. An REI footwear specialist can help you with this. Consider liner socks whenever additional volume is needed or in combination with slightly thinner regular socks.

A: Save space by bringing several pairs of liner socks and 1 pair of backpacking socks. Your sweat gets absorbed by the liner socks, while your backpacking socks stay relatively clean. With this approach, you need only to replace the liner socks every day with fresh ones. Wash out your liner socks as needed (they dry much faster than thicker socks.)

Women's compression socks are designed to provide compression and support and improve circulation to the feet and lower legs. They help reduce fatigue and pain while providing support for your arch, ankle, and calf muscles.

Compression socks are most recommended for women who stand or sit for long lengths of time, those who travel frequently, pregnant women, athletes and anyone with a history of circulation problems. Compression socks can also be beneficial for people who suffer from varicose veins or spider veins.

Additionally, nice compression socks help keep your legs warm during the winter months and provide support to alleviate discomfort from varicose or spider veins. They can also help reduce the chances of developing blood clots and improve recovery times after exercise.

In addition, compression socks for ladies come in various lengths, from knee-high all the way up to thigh-high, pantyhose or waist-high compression stockings. Which one you choose depends on where the affected area is on your legs.

For example, if you only have swelling in your ankles, then a knee-high compression sock should be sufficient. However, if you have swelling on or above the knee, consider investing in compression socks that cover from your toes to waist or mid-thigh.

Women's compression socks are designed to be tight, but never uncomfortable. compression socks should not cause pain, blanching (discoloration of the skin due to compression) or redness around the compression area. If you experience any of these symptoms, it means that your compression garment is too tight and needs to be adjusted.

When wearing support socks for women, it is important to make sure they are on the right compression level and fit properly. You should never wear compression socks that are too tight or restrict your circulation. Always follow instructions provided by the manufacturer for the proper use of compression socks.

Additionally, you should always wash and dry compression socks after each wear to maintain their effectiveness. Make sure to replace compression socks every 3 to 6 months for maximum compression and support.

Why opt for fabric blends over 100% wool?

A common misconception is that socks must be made entirely from natural fibers to be considered high-quality. Contrary to popular belief, though, using a combination of fibers ensures that the garment you receive can meet all the needs you would expect from a comfortable pair of socks. Artificial fibers, when blended with Merino wool, significantly enhance its natural sweat-wicking abilities, ensuring even greater moisture management for comfort. Pure wool socks tend to be less durable and stretch-prone compared to Merino wool blends, which combine the strengths of various fibers for improved longevity and fit. A pair of socks made from a Merino wool blend will also be more breathable and dry faster.
