So I was in kmart the other day and happened to notice that they sold wool socks as I walked past.
They are a wool blend of unspecified amounts of Acrylic/wool/nylon/elastane. At 12 bucks for 3 pairs I thought it wouldn't hurt to try them.
I'm rather surprised at how comfy they are. Although i haven't worn them on a multi-day walk yet, they seem pretty good even after a few days.
I dare say that they feel very similar to my Bridgedale socks.
If anyone is keen to give them a go I found them online.
