Inside the golf shoes (socks)

[Shindig]

As many of you know, golf is the first sport I've taken seriously. This means, among other things, that my socks are all the kind I will wear under my sneakers when I go to school. Sure, the golf shoes still fit, but my feet are getting sweaty. This didn't bug me until today, when I was in a Sports Authority and saw Under Armor and similar brands for socks.

So, I'm wondering: are these good to wear for golf? I figure I've got the dri-fit type pants and shirts, why not socks too?

If so, are there any brands you find to be particularly good? Also, where might I get them for a good price?


Many thanks.

My mom gave me a couple pair of the Addidas ones and I like them. I also have some FJ ones... they seem to be comfortable and somewhat breathable. I don't think anything is really going to stop my feet from sweating (I usually walk)... but both of those brands seem to be comfortable and a little less hot than regular socks. They are also both a short ankle type golf cut... which is nice. I bought the FJ ones at Golf Galaxy, but I'm sure any golf shop has them.

The UA sox feel real good on the dogs, they are worth a little extra.

I discovered these last year, and almost exclusively wear them - FJ ProDry Extreme.

My regular FJ socks are relegated (like my Ashworth EZTECH golf shirts) to mowing the lawn.

Great pair - available in short and mid-length (if you're wearing pants)

If you are looking to save some money, run to wal-mart and pick up some starter moisture wicking socks (i.e. not cotton). they are prolly a 10th the price of UA but only slightly less quality.

Food for thought: No reason to have all this moisture wicking clothing if you are still wearing cotton underwear.

Thanks for the feedback on the socks. I'll look into these next time I'm at a golf shop or sporting goods store.
