      Wool socks give me smelly feet, but cotton ones don’t. Wool is good for sweat in a survival scenario, because it can still keep you warm if it’s wet, but that’s the opposite of what I want for my feet in dress shoes in an office.

        Gotta get the right wool blend. I have some that are intended to keep my feet cool so smell isn’t an issue. Cotton is pretty horrible for moving moisture away from your skin

          Tbh, I’ve been given a lot of wool blend socks over the years by someone telling me that they’re perfect for daily wear (my sister’s great), but my feet always end up grosser than when I wear 95+% cotton socks. It could just be me, but cotton is definitely my choice if I’m not hiking or something.

            I’ve had good luck with Danish Endurance. My shoes might smell funky when I take them off, but my feet are dry and funk free.
