This image reminds me of that game "block dude" from the ti83 calculators when I was in high school.

Might be an unpopular opinion here, socks, especially hikers are not buy it for life material! I have tried every brand of wool hiking socks available at Jax, REI, Dicks, and more. I am an avid hiker and climber. 10mi and 3000ft gain is a average hike for the dog and i. Socks do not last more than a year or two under consistent use. Wool absolutely makes worlds of difference for comfort and warmth in cold. They are definitely longer lived than cotton. But buy it for life? No.

Edit: I am as I write, waring a pair of darn tough socks. I love them but they are obviously wearing through and only a year old.
