I suspect the downvotes are due to how I presented the opinion as opposed to it just being an opposing view.

Tbh it was never about flashy socks, I do have some garish colours for the odd occasion but mostly the variety is through different uses. Hiking, running, skiing, boot, trainer, summer, winter. Sure, there is some crossover but many of then are vastly different.

I find it unlikely that there's really some mystical all purpose sock out there?
