I bought Dexshell socks for Scotland. We got a shit pair that had cracked and sent it back for refund and replaced. Both pairs after that held up fine. They were really good and warm.
I've also got a pair of the new Shimano flat pedal shoes - they have a neoprene sleeve that stops stones and stuff going in the shoes which is a pet hate of mine with flat shoes.

Five 10s are the best I've found so far.
I've got a pair of NorthWave equivalents. They are ok but a bit less grippy and very heavy. And less toe room if you are trying to shim them with plastic insoles, but most people don't do that. And not really any better in any other respect to offset.
I expect it is the waterproof socks. They seem to have come on a bit. I hadn't worn sealskinz for years but I took some on TCR in 2019. My normal socks started hurting after 3 days so I had to use the SealSkinz I'd also brought and was pleasantly surprised to find they were comfortable for a few days in Balkans heat.
