Personal Thoughts
I’ve some pairs of T4093 and one T4018. I prefer Quarter socks because the no-show socks leave my ankles exposed to the wind while the higher socks compress my leg more than needed.
After graphing the sock types, I see I only have Lightweight No Cushion socks. These socks seem a bit “flat” in texture, but whether that’s due to all Tactical socks or solely the lack of cushioning is unknown.
Therefore I should try for a Midweight Cushion sock.
Lack of other colors besides Black for smaller socks annoys. In a Taipei store I felt the texture of the Coyote Brown sock and it seemed less flat but whether that’s an actual feature of the sock or the above-ankle thicker padding or it being a Heavyweight sock I do not know.
