GolfSpy SAM Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I got advertised on social media for "Golf Socks" (clever title), and I took advantage of a coupon code, and took a shot and ordered 6 pairs, and have to say, they're AWESOME. There are little rubber nubs on the bottom of the sock that seem to really promote stability, and I find that the socks don't ride down my ankles at ALL (something that drives me insane for most socks), so my Achilles isn't exposed for the back of my golf shoe to rub mid-round. They're not cheap, but they're VERY well made, and so far I'm really digging them.

So far holding up incredibly well. After buying them, I found out the guys who make them are the sons of the guy who owns/runs Galway Bay - seems like the quality has rubbed off.

JFS2 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I learned of Feetures a few months ago. I bough the Elite LC (less cushion) and the Elite MC (more cushion). So far, I have played 4-5 rounds in each. They are wonderful. The toe line is higher up the sock so you never feel it. The rear of the sock comes up slightly above the back of the shoe and never sinks down. Net result is you do not have to adjust your socks during the round. Lots and lots of colors and patterns. The have a lifetime guarantee. As I read it, you can send them in anytime if they somehow fail and get a new pair free. Best socks for golf or tennis shoes I have ever worn. However, until now, I have always just bought a bundle of socks from Costco.

Loo Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Last year I discovered Pacas made from llama wool. Soft, cushioned, wick moisture and very comfortable earning my new go to sock. I tried Bombas but they shrunk like crazy do, gone Quote Link to comment
fredsharky Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Honestly I have been using the FootJoy ProDry for a while and have tried the Bombas and both do a great job as socks go. But recently, because of my wife (she has been wearing these for a while) I have swapped tom toe socks - it was a little odd at first, but I really like wearing them playing golf. It is hard to quantify, but I feel more stable as my toes are able to spread just a bit more than with conventional socks - again this may all be in my head, unlike anything else in golf. i think for the price you can get them on Amazon it would be worth a shot - plus they have all different brands and I may choose something later, but these so far have held up quite nicely since April and I either play or am at the range every day or close to it Quote Driver 1: Stealth 12 degree - Ventus Red 5-S Driver 2: 300 Mini Hzrdus Smoke Yellow 60G Stiff (tipped to 44.5inch) 3 Wood 2: Sim2 Max Fujikura Pro 65-S (higher ball flight) 5 Wood: Stealth Ventus Black 6-S 9 Wood: Stealth Ventus Red 5-R Irons: King Tour 2023 - Fujikura Pro 95 Stiff - 6-9 - Fitted Wedges: SM9 - 45-10F, 48-10F Wedges: RTX 6 - 52-Mid/10, 58-Mid/10 Putter: HB SOFT Milled 10.5S - Fitted Balls - X1 Link to comment

IMO, the Feetures are the best socks for golf, hands-down. They also have a couple of models that are made specifically for people who suffer from Plantar Fasciitis, which is a great bonus if you are one of those people.
