Bridgedale is an sock company from Ireland that has really pushed the used of multiple weaves and mixed wool/synthetic yarns in socks. Most of their hiking and trail socks have thicker, softer pads under the foot and around the heel to cushion and stop rubbing in your boots, and they have thin, tough knits over bones and joints to help stop pressure-spots. The mix of wools and synthetic fibers in their yarns also balance between the wicking and absorption of wool and the evaporating softneww of synthetics.
The selection of sale models at Altrec.com is great too. There are Bridgedale socks (at least 20-30% off) for hiking, running, and day-to-day/casual use, plus free shipping on orders of $45+, and some expedition and skiing socks are 50-60% off.
