Guys, don’t skimp on the socks. There are a few things in life worth paying a little extra for. A decent mattress comes to mind. Good beer certainly qualifies. Toilet paper is definitely a get-what-you-pay-for kind of item. And great socks should be on that list as well. One of our favorite socks is made by Nike—and clearly, we’re not alone. Nike athletic socks come in a handy six-pack, in crew, quarter, ankle, and no-show styles....
