It has been a while since I updated this blog post. Recently I had a whitewater kayaking accident in very dirty water. My foot and leg got infected and, as a result, both swelled up. I could not wear low cut socks, so, in order to play pickleball, I had to search for longer socks.
The socks that were the most comfortable were the Selkirk performance crew socks.
These socks are a bit thicker than most, and I like the way they feel in shoes that I have that tend to run a bit large.
You can purchase them here: https://www.selkirk.com/products/pickleball-socks
For a thinner sock, I prefer the Smartwool “everyday” socks. Yes, they are for everyday activities, but it you have a good pair of pickleball shoes, they work very well.
The best place to search for Smartwool socks is at this link: https://www.smartwool.com/en-us/pages/best-socks-finder
You may prefer a different type of sock, or a more colorful sock, but all Smartwool socks are excellent.
When I go back to shorter socks, I will return to my Acacia low cut socks.

Of course, you can always shop on Amazon where there are many, many socks geared towards pickleball. That was not the case in the past. Here is a link to get you started: https://amzn.to/4xGluVC
