well, I don't know the politics involved with socks. Unreal that's actually a thing, but I could imagine some faggotry coming from a hiking sock company. Also socks are highly subjective.
If you want extreme comfort and durability I'd go with a hiking sock. They have a bunch of different kinds. Double layer, reinforced toe and heel, lighter fabric on top, and variations of each.
Lots of companies have guarantees or warranties. I have a few pairs of Darn Tough, they're about $30 CAD per pair. I have a few pairs of Fox River, they're about $10-20 per pair. Smartwool are good, not as durable. Bridgedale is Canadian I think but they also make some good socks.
