For a gift-ready pack you might want to keep for yourself: Vibrant Happy Socks

Want to put new socks on your feet and a smile on your face? Try the Happy Socks store on Amazon, which features the brand’s signature flashy designs. When Reviewed tried the personality-filled socks, we found them both vibrant and comfortable—especially ones with higher cotton content like the Assorted Colorful Premium Cotton Sock Gift Box for Men and Women, which contains four pairs of 68% cotton socks.

The designs come in women’s sock size 9 to 11 and men’s sock size 10 to 13 in 12 color combinations. Plus, because the box is equally as cute as the socks, it just might be the most exciting way to give socks as a gift.

For socks that last a lifetime: These Darn Tough socks we’ve tested

Darn Tough’s socks are designed to last a lifetime under the company’s warranty. Based on our lab tests, the rugged, long-lasting socks will accomplish that feat (or should we say feet?). Whether you’re going backpacking or backyard grilling, our tester recommends trying them for a comfortable, well constructed option that won’t wear out quickly.

Amazon reviewers agree. The Men’s Darn Tough Hiker Merino Wool Micro Crew Socks, available in men’s sizes S to XL, are currently the top selling men’s hiking socks on Amazon. The Women’s Darn Tough Hiker Micro Crew Midweight Sock, available in women’s sizes S to L, also boasts a 5-star rating based on over 2,400 reviews.

For running: This soft, no-show pair from Adidas

Before you pound the pavement, you might want to take stock of your sock drawer. When we tested the best running socks, the Adidas Superlite No Show Socks were our best value pick. Our tester describes the material as cotton-y soft (even though it’s made of polyester) and lightweight, and the multipacks of six pairs are a great option if you like to buy in bulk. The Women's Superlite Super No Show Socks come in women’s size M, while the men’s version comes in men’s sizes L and XL.

For no-odor wool: This staple style from Smartwool

Whether you’re dressing for the office or an adventurous outing, consider the Smartwool Women’s Cable II Socks. The brand is known for its durable designs, made of merino wool, nylon and elastane. Many reviewers say the socks didn’t require frequent washing, with one writing, “after a long day of travel, there really was no odor to them at all.” The style, which also features light cushioning on the bottom, is available in nine colors in women’s sizes S to L.

Amazon’s Smartwool store also features plenty of options in men’s and unisex sizes, including the Smartwool Unisex-Adult Everyday Margarita Crew. Treat your feet to the striped style, which has cushioning across the bottom of the whole foot. One reviewer calls the 100% wool socks “soft and not too warm to wear around the house.” Shop them in six colors in unisex sizes S to L.

For stylish, edgier designs: These Stance socks

If you’re looking to add a little edge to your ensemble, try socks from Stance, an apparel brand which frequently drops designs inspired by pop culture and art. Proving these socks can be paired with practically anything, Jason Sudeikis even wore a pair of Stance socks on the 2021 Emmy Awards red carpet.

Try the Stance Sidereal, which has a 5-star rating based on 896 reviews. “Thick, comfy, cool style, high quality, Stance socks are a good buy,” one reviewer writes of the pair, which comes in adult sizes M and L.
