I have Horizon Test socks and think they are the business, not tried others as I haven't needed to.

They are definitely worth getting.

Iwear asics boots and use asics kanyo running socks, they are a good fit and give extra support.

I've got some walking socks. Absolutely perfect for cricket! So much better than the 'cricket' socks I've brought, used and thrown away.

I have always worn ankle high socks while batting and didn't feel uncomfortable . I was using normal trainer socks till now . I would be investing in a couple of 1000 mile socks , there seems to be two variants of them , a lightweight wool and heavy wool . Not sure which one is better .

I always wear a pair i got from a walking shop that wicks sweat away and kees the toes both nice and cool and dry  along with a wool sock on top have used horizon, GMpuma and nike in the past have never used normal sports socks and i never will

One thing that is needed on a long day in the field is comfy feet

Walking socks are always popular with the fielding side if you wear them when batting... :D
