Ski socks are super thin with padding only on the shins so that it reduces shin bang but also fits real nice in the boot

That is only marketing- the padding does nothing to reduce shin bang.

A good ski sock is the following:
1. ultra thin to preserve the fit of the boot and also not cause the foot to overheat
2. made from non-cotton, either synthetic or merino wool to help manage moisture and keep the foot dry

Some people like to go the compression route but it is personal preference.
