Finnish M05 liner socks, 4-pack
Buy four pairs of Finnish military M05 liner socks. You need them anyway and get the 4-pack cheaper. This is the basic sock of the Finnish Defence Forces, nowadays made in merino wool! They work well with any lined boots, and together with a thicker pair of socks, they make any non-lined leather boot much more comfortable. Made in Finland.

Need only one pair? We have those, too.
Like any sock from the Finnish armed forces, these will keep their shape and fit well throughout years of use. The front seam is now on the top to eliminate any possibility of it chafing your feet.

Employee's comments
The M05 sock differs from it's predecessor (a rather sad cotton affair) in two revolutionary ways: 1) it's moisture wicking and 2) it stands a fair chance of actually drying after use. Personally I've always considered the M05 sock to be worth its weight in gold and finding a clean pair in one's drawer gives one the same sense of security as a cupboard full of toilet paper when you've a bad case of the Montezuma's Revenge.
An ancient yet nifty soldier's trick for more serious use is to wear two or more socks on top of each other, which effectively transfers the friction caused by walking/running from being between your sock and your foot, to being between two socks. In effect this means that your skin is more likely to stay attached to your feet, which can be considered an advantage during a forced march.
