Every year I go through the same thing. Do a little walking and my socks either turn sideways or get wadded up under my feet. Have any of you found a good combo for socks with hunting boots. I usually just wear 1 or 2 pairs of cotton socks. I have never try the wicking liners or any real expensive boot socks. What do you guys wear?
I just wear the UA Heatgear boot socks with any hunting boot

I got an idea a couple of years ago that was just the ticket for me---mens soccer socks. They come all the way to my knee, will not work their way down during the day and have a nice cushion--this is the only socks I will wear while turkey hunting.

diabetic socks, they also come all the way to the knees and help with the circulation from lots of walking
i prefer under armour hunting socks
Don't wear cotton socks against the skin, they will hold the moisture and make your feet cold. Wet feet also tend to slide inside your boot on the cotton, causing blisters.
These are excellent socks. I have pairs and pairs of them and it's all I wear:

Redhead Snake Boot Socks from Bass Pro. They're over the calf style and they'll stay up all day long!
I wear the UA heat gear/cold gear year round. Most comfortable socks I've ever put on my feet. They don't twist and they keep my fairly dry, which is very difficult for me here in Tennessee in the spring.
I got a pair of what I think are called garters from Primos, don't think they make them any more. Cost me $2.00. Basically it's a stretchy band with velcro attachment that you wrap around your ankle. I've NEVER had a sock to wad up in my boods while wearing these.

AMEN! Best freaking socks available. RedHead Pro Hunting sock at Bass Pro. They sell different heights but the taller the better. Great arch support and go way up my leg. I wear size 16 boot and need as tall of a sock I can find. I can't help but wear them in the off-season. Matter of fact they are so great, I am wearing them now. The pairs are 10 dollars but are very durable and feel GREAT!
Yeah I like the bass pro or Cabelas they work great. One other thing I do is wear a tall liner sock by itself feet stay dry and warm !
Camofire whenever they run The lorpan light hikers are the best!!!
100% merino wool breathable and warm
paded heel and ball point
wont shift
I wear them hunting, hiking, camping, running
I have the light weight. mid weight, and heavy weight all great, I have some liner socks I wear as well that were cheap and a pair of gortex socks for those really wet days and I dont want to wear mucks
Under Armour heat gear or cold gear depending on the Temp. Never had a problem with twisting or wadding up.
There are many good hiking socks of wool blend out there. You can look at REI, REI Outlet, Backcountry, Sierr@ Trading, etc. and find them. Thorlo, Smartwool, and even private label socks.
I coincidentally bought some wool blend socks at a Timberland outlet years ago in N. GA for a good price. They have no wool scratch to them at all, they are very smooth and comfortable. I bought them 10-15 years ago and miraculously still have them somehow. They are my favorite outdoor socks, and I don't generally care all that much about Timberland.
