What socks do people wear when they play?
Proper cricket socks or regular sports socks?

White Adidas socks are fine for me, although the free more mile ones I got with my asics from Start Fitness are very nice

i used to always grab whatever was available, but this is the first season I've started using Horizon socks and I love them, for the sole reason that my feet never hurt after a game now.

I picked up some adidas ones from an outlet for £1.50 a pair, cracking set and at that price it's cheap too

I have a pair of Stockpile socks and I'd never use anything but them again. Brilliant, proper cricket socks.

Found white Bridgedale walking socks. Used to wearing them all day at festivals and on walking holidays. Turns out they are great for cricket!

I usually use normal sports socks, such as the wilson ones from matalan, or slaz ones from sports direct, however i find I go through them rather quickly, so have been experimenting with walking socks, and find they are so much more comfortable!
