They can be a thoughtful, personal gift for a guy, too, as there are all kinds of socks for all kinds of people and all kinds of uses. And you better believe we’ve got all sorts of great sock gifts for guys featured here.
Feetures Elite Cushion Max Running Socks
If the guy on your gift shopping list is a runner (or a jogger or a hiker or an avid walker) then he simply must have and surely will appreciate a pair of Feetures running socks. Supportive, sweat wicking, and with a soft tab at the back that helps the socks stay in place and prevents those pesky blisters at the Achilles heel, they will be his new go-to running socks.
ScentLok Ultrafresh Crew Socks
ScentLok was a hunting apparel brand long before they moved into more general activewear and lifestyle clothing, and back in the day their scent locking apparel, which literally reduces the amount of odor a human body emits, was all about hiding a hunter’s scent from an animal. Today, these soft, durable, and comfortable socks can trap odors that might otherwise be picked up by that animal known as the human being.
Showers Pass Waterproof Socks
Waterproof socks that flex and feel like fabric? Yes, that’s what we have yere. It might seem hard to believe, but take it from us, because we have tested these socks time and again in rain and in snow. So if your guy’s feet often encounter rain, snow, puddles, boats, and more, he’ll be thrilled by a pair of Showers Pass Waterproof Socks.
Hot Feet Cold Weather Outdoor Socks for Men
These socks were specifically made for cold weather, so if your giftee is often out and about in the cold — or if he’s usually inside but just has feet that get really, really cold — these Hot Feet socks will make a great gift. They are made from a clever blend of polyester, wool, nylon, and spandex, so they have a great fit and feel and they are durable, too.
Merrell Merino Wool Quarter Socks
The perfect everyday sock, these wool quarter socks from Merrell aren’t too tall and they aren’t too short. They’re warm enough for wear in cool weather, yet they wick moisture and release excess heat, so they’re just fine for wear in spring or summer, too. If you’re not sure which sock to gift but you want to gift men’s socks, these are a safe bet.
Good Luck Socks
If you’re sock shopping for a man with a great sense of humor then these socks are simply perfect. They come in multiple different designs featuring wacky cats, like cat doughnuts, cats in space, and doctor cats. And it doesn’t hurt that the socks are at a great price point.
Snow Deer Heated Socks
If you’re shopping for a man who spends a lot of time out in extreme cold weather, whether he’s skiing or snowboarding or it just comes with the job, these heated socks will be the most welcome gift of the season. They can be set to three different levels of heat output and can keep feet warm for more than six hours on the low heat setting.
Ably Apparel Men’s Performance Socks
While not fully waterproof like Showers Pass socks — these socks will eventually soak through e.g. — Ably socks are highly water-repellent. And they also repel things like spilled beer or even condiments or sauces, so your guy’s feet will stay clean and dry and his socks looking sharp no matter what he gets up to.
Panda Bros Men’s Sock Slippers
Bridging the gap between socks and slippers, these soft, warm, slip-on slipper socks are perfect for the man who wants to lounge or to WFH in comfort. They come in myriad colors and styles, from the muted and understated to the loud and wacky, and they are sure to be a hit with anyone who prides comfort.
MyPupSocks Custom Photo Pet Socks
These hilarious and charming socks let you give a truly unique gift because they are customizable, and in the best possible way: they can be emblazoned with an image of a person’s favorite pooch. It’s quick and easy to upload an image of a dog that will then be printed on a pair of socks, and they can also be created with a human face if your giftee will find that funnier, more touching, or both.
