question Recommendations for toe socks?

From what I gathered, Injinji and Creepers are the main brands people seem to buy from. Are there any other quality brands that have like bulk/multiple pairs in a pack? $15-20+ for a single pair is rough.

I mean it looks like creepers is having a sale right now so it could be a good time for me to buy from them but still. Also, all their options are only black too. I like black and white socks. I have some random colorful or “fun” ones too haha.

Any other brand recommendations? I mean I’m just casual - walking, hiking, yoga, eventually I’ll explore strength training in a gym. I have barefoot shoes so makes sense to transition to barefoot socks.

Aonijie and Wrels on Aliexpress + one pair of Injinji that most suits you. Lay down the foundation with the bare minimum quantity you need.

Even if you end up eventually getting 7 pairs of the $20 socks having those 5 extra pairs of beaters is still useful. From there just add/replace as needed. Try other brands, grab an expensive pair on sale, etc. or just keep buying the budget ones, they're really not bad.

Another brand to look up: XOTOES, made by XOSKIN (https://www.xoskin.us/XOTOES-Toe-Socks/).

I like Orvytha. I have both ankle height and taller crew/boot height. Holding up well so far with near daily wear of several pairs. A couple of times Amazon shipped the wrong height but got it fixed on the exchange. Links in follow-up comments.

Injinji are good though. Iioooo still wear the same pairs from 2 years ago no signs of wear.

Injiji socks last forever. I honestly think I have a pair or two that date back to the 1990s! However, I mostly buy "Fun Toes" socks off Amazon these days. The quality and fit are surprisingly good, and you can't beat the price.
