What kind of socks do you wear with your riding boots? Like the knee high type? I've struggled with my regular socks until I got a pair of fancy boot socks for the holidays. They are expensive though so I was hoping someone else has a way to use regular socks without them sliding/bunching.

Anytime I have rode, I just always wore really thick socks for some reason it was more comfy for me, then again Im sure I wasnt wearing the proper shoes too. That might be why.

I wear ropers when I ride, which are just above the ankle. I wear a wool sock that comes up about mid-calf. This system works well for me, and I never have problems with sliding. Have you tried wearing nylons under so they stick?

I wear wool too, but mine are military. I like the feel and the cut, they stop any rubbing from my boot and they stay up well. The wool soaks up sweat like nobodies business, and they don't cost too much from surplus stores.

I always wear the regular long athletic socks. They come up a little higher than the op of the boot so I don't have problems with chaffing. I've never had a problem with the regular ones riding down and bunching up. Wool socks eventually stretch and ride down so I never wear them.

I've never thought about what socks to wear because I've always worn sneakers while riding. Now I find out that I should wear boots and the socks become an issue. I'm going to test the water by just tucking my pants into my boots to avoid the chaffing and hope my regular socks don't work their way to the toe of my boot while I'm riding.

I wear tights under my jeans. I tuck the tights into the boot to avoid chafing. In the summer I tend to just wear the tights if it's too hot. U'd just try a few and use what's comfortable for you.

I wear a medium thick sock that goes just under my knee. They provide some comfort for my feet that are stuck in my somewhat uncomfortable boots!
