Are Happy Socks thicker than, say, gold toes or standard dress socks - if not, who?

[Grumpy_Bottom]

I ask because I find I prefer a slightly larger overall shoe with slightly thicker socks than the alternative, and as such my shoes are a little loose with traditional gold toe et al dress socks. Hoping the more durable socks like Happy will offer a bit more thickness as well. If not, anyone have "thick" dress sock suggestions?

Many thanks!

I've never tried happy socks, but I had a pair of smartwool socks that are a bit thicker, but get pretty warm in 80 degree weather

80 degree weather? Sounds like heaven (104 in Fort Worth today- no, it's not a dry heat).

On edit: changed "ni" to "no". Damn autocorrect- I do not want a shrubbery.

I have a pair of Happy Socks, they might be slightly thicker than normal. But, in 104 heat, who can tell.

Ministry of Supply is fielding some excellent ones now.

They're slightly thicker than gold toes but not much and they breathe quite well

I find slightly thicker, but they still feel thin. And the stitching isn't the best.

Happy socks???

That is a serious brand?

Smartwool has a couple thicknesses to their dress socks. It just depends on the level you want. I can't wear cushioned dress socks with my dress shoes but I wear their medium weight hiking socks daily in the 100+ degree kitchen. Screw cotton socks. Never again. NEVER AGAIN!
