Commercial ski socks are a crock: ski socks should be wicking
(polyprop
or similar, relatively thin, high rising (so there's no edge or
wrinkles
inside the boot cuff) and snug. Commercial ski socks are too thick and
often have wool in them. Wrong. Don't expect to pad out a sloppy boot
with thick or multiple socks - it won't work; insist on a good fitting
boot.

Are you confusing "outdoor" socks with ski socks?

The "commercial ski socks" I've always gotten have been *very* thin. I
don't mean to contradict the general information, it's good, just to say
that if he gets the right c.s.s. they are thin and wicking.

To add; the thinner and tighter the sock and the more care taken when
putting your foot in the boot and smoothing of the sock before buckling,
the better. IT'S HUGE! Especially if you get some stamina and are out
there all day. Have someone show you how to take the liner out of the
boot shell overnight too. It will dry overnight in your room.
