I find Bridgedale lasts a lot longer... Cost more too but cheaper in the long run for me. I try to find rejects at a sale site... Don't care if the brand name is missing letters. Campsaver or Campmor. Wigwam does good stuff too and a range of prices. Just look for merino wool in socks. Fancy full synthetic brand is Thorlo. Loads of options and don't feel like you have to jump for the stuff I used to sell. Decent stuff is around for less. I just don't know the brands by memory.
Fwiw I have 15 year old Bridgedale still holding up well... 23 year old pair is a bit threadbare in the heel now... But still not gone holey. Usually do laundry every couple weeks. I'm light so maybe a bit easier on socks than some.
