Here's an insider tip:
Don't buy socks with a pattern. If the mate is lost, the other sock is obsolete. Buy all the same color dress socks and match the color of the suit. Then regardless of how many socks get lost or swallowed by the dryer, there will always be a match. Also if, heaven forbid, your missionary grows taller on their mission, they can still get some mileage out of their suits without the high water look.
Wool blends work well in cold or wet missions. (In extrememly cold missions, try football socks. They are so warm.) Avoid all polyester socks because even though they will last forever, your missionary's feet will not be able to breathe, and fungus might result.
Our missionary loves his socks produced from bamboo, a natural fiber alternative to cotton, wool, hemp and synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon. They are super soft, moisture wicking, and do not retain odor. We purchased them at Mens Warehouse in Utah, but you can find them on the web and at department stores. They make great birthday day and Christmas presents for LDS missionaries in the field. Try to find them on sale or as part of a "Missionary Special," if you feel that they are pricey.
