CPL (Join to see) no you should not, for a pretty good reason.
Usually the white socks and boot socks are not made from similar material. What socks will soak up much more sweat and won't correctly allow your feet to breath inside the boot causing more foot problems.
I know what you're thinking.
"Wait, no white socks in uniform is for a real reason?"
But it's true.

Depends on the block socks. If you're using black athletic that the wrong answer too. Honestly there are many right answers but cotton is usually the wrong one. If you're going to be rucking best you can do for you feet is a nylon or polypropylene material. My honest answer for long movements is ladies pantyhose, that shit is magic.
But let's say you're a medic and your company is going to a range, the roads are black due to snow but your Company commander goes anyway and you find yourself sitting in the middle of nowhere Germany in blizzards so thick you can't see. Then cotton would be a good call In that particular instance (better call to actually utilize those nbc overboots for something and put them on to save your feet from water) ... But I digress.
Honestly there Are many answers. No single one is "correct" what's important is the soldier buys a pair of boots that work with his feet and his environment and chooses a sock that does the same.

Regardless of the color, standard white sock could tear your feet apart with intense training.

I would argue that yes you can, as long as you ensure your white socks are camouflaged to look just like your boot socks (and are exactly the same material, too). Then you are good!
