For everyday I like the bonds with the cushioned soles. They come in different heights (low, crew etc). Seem to be on sale at least once a month. The colesworth underworks brand is similar. Not as thick like tradie socks, but thick enough that they don’t get holes easily. For thin dress socks, I find cotton more durable than bamboo.
Why is it always motorbikes or traffic lights? Occasionally busses. Surely there are other suitable subjects?
