Yes. Too thick a material in my opinion. I'm using Falke SK7 these days. Had boot liners foamed wearing these and cannot tolerate anything thicker in those boots

Sock drama
- Thread starter Dolomitiskier
- Start date
Glad to hear I am not the only one who experiencing sock drama! I am allergic to wool and it seems every ski shop carries only wool socks! Years ago I wore Thorlo performance light wt socks. Then I found some nice thin socks with some shin padding from Under Armor. I really liked them but they are wearing out. Can't find those socks anymore so I am giving Thorlo another shot. Their web store had the nice thin ones on sale and I bought 5 pair. Trying them out this week up in Killington. Wish me luck!

I really like the ultra lite euro socks. They are hard to find but they do stay put. I am definitely a goldilocks!

eBay is chock full of cheap thin non-wool socks from Chinese sellers - just go in the bike section and search for anti-drag socks.
Thinner than ski socks, silicone shin
grippers, often less than $10/pair, the only downside is multiweek delivery.
Of course if you go this route in October you will have a not enough drawers drama.

They've been mentioned already - but the ones to go for are the "Pro Fit Compression Nano Tour". No wool and my favourite.
Pro Fit Compression Nano Tour
Unquestionably the thinnest and most precision fit sock available, for high-output skiing, snowboarding, and backcountry use. The Pro Fit Compression Nano was the first compression ski sock on the market, delivering custom fit for ultimate bootfitting perfection since 2012.

They do require you to turn the sock inside out over the forefoot - stuff your arm down the sock and... actually there's this at 50 seconds you can see him do it (with the compressive fit it would be majorly hassley to do in a 'normal' pull on fashion).

Plenty of shops have the Mico Race.
They are not difficult to get if you ship them to Italy, shipping to USA might be a problem.

Also a fan of Thorlo. Simple, effective, fairly priced, and made in the USA.
I typically go from light to medium to thick (gasp) over the three-season life of a pair of liners, then buy new boots or liners and start over.
I ordered both the Falke SK4 Compression and the SK5. Both are good, but I prefer the SK5. Thin, but with light targeted cushion in the right areas. The SK4 is slightly thicker and I didn’t feel much in terms of compression.
Just tried the Fox River Bootfitter Elite Ultra Lightweights. Nice fit, enough stretch and warmth. At first thought, I thought the seams at the toes were going to be a problem. It worked out.
If you look at the symbols on the socks, they are designed to address bootfitter concerns.
Kind of cool.
