I got some sportful ones (a two pack) for an OK price, must have been I bought them. I think it was 2 pairs for about the same price as 1 pair from any other brand.

What is an aero sock?!
If it is just a short sock, then have a look in Aldi - I saw some short cycling socks in my local store today, along with other cycling bits and bobs.

Noooo they're longer socks that make your shin more aero. Unless you have Remco like slippy skin.

Didn't the UCI ban long socks?

Can’t you just shave and moisturise?
Sportpursuit have loads of cycling socks. Otherwise try somewhere like Sigma.

I thought an aero sock was one of those orange things they have on a small airfield to see which way the wind was blowing

I assume the OP want's them for racing ? Marginal gains and all that.

I got some aero socks, they are graded by colour with red ones being the fastest. Gained 5 mph average speed vs. my usual socks.

yes from what i've read they probably could save a few watts for the pros but for the normal/regular cyclist.....please!
It's a bit like years ago when hi-fi magazines would say how much better your speakers would be with really expensive cables.
Buy it,get home and install it and then try to convince yourself yes it does sound better.....doesn't it. 🤔

Unless you're racing then the points above count. Otherwise, have a look at these: https://www.rule28.com/collections/aero-socks But £28-30 for socks 
Shutt's were great, and better imo, but they aren't making them currently.
