Boardroom is okay if you want the ease and safety of US return/shipping/client service, though not the best value, with only their patterned being flush-toe and I believe 176 Needle Count (a gauge of thickness). Especially if you are buying multiple pairs - where the impact of shipping cost for some international companies is diluted.

For ~$10 I would suggest Pedemeia out of Portugal. Celchuck is reputable, though every time I check their website, they have like a ~50% sale going on, which does not inspire confidence from an ethics standpoint, to me personally.

For ~$20 my favorite is Il Regalo (Japan) and just about anything offered by Mes Chaussettes Rouge (France).

Boardroom will keep you under $20 for Over-The-Calf and are a reasonable price, though for just a few extra dollars, you get a massive increase in both construction quality and designs in the low-mid $20 range.

I have a whole video on this subject, which you may find helpful:

If you’re willing to go to $20, you can get deals on bundles/assortments from either Corgi or Mes Chaussettes Rouge. Personally, I find both of those sock brands worth the price. The quality and comfort are outstanding.
