Just spent a coupla hunnert on their best padded socks, calf length mountaineering ones. Had to call the customer service girl and ask for help locating the right sock for my kind of activity. She giggled in a Southern drawl while I voiced my frustration at searching over the categories of walking, tennis, hiking, etc. in search of farming, logging and milking the cows. She kindly pointed me in the direction of mountaineering and for max padding, basketball. Now I'll be able to dunk like the brothers, smooth, switching to glide!
