I got these after my aquaspheres developed a leak after several years' use.

I think they might qualify as 'socket things' but I don't know what you mean. They're dead comfy and make you swim faster, though that second bit has not been scientifically tested.

One's that fit. Like a lot of things what's great for me isn't necessarily going to be great for someone else. I personally can't get on with any goggles that don't have an adjustable nose piece. YMMV

Only Aquasphere Kayennes work for me out of about a dozen different ones tried.

Kaimans are smaller than Kayenne.

I got some Predator Flex last summer, for similar use.
They're comfy, keep the the water out & I can see where I'm going.
They may be expensive, but I'd buy the same again.

Predator Flex fan here as well - comfy, good visibility, not silly expensive.

Speedo squidgy ones for me (I get whichever ones are about £8 or 9 quid from chainreaction or wiggle with the soft fit - current ones are 'futura ice plus').

I don't buy expensive ones, because of my careless habit of getting through pairs of goggles.

I think I have lost goggles by:
1)leaving them in hotel swimming pool locker
2 & 3)leaving them on a beach
4)my toddler bit them and destroyed the seal around the lenses
5)Mystery goggle losing event
6)The only non-speedo goggles I had the strap broke, and the strap was so tiny that other replacement straps wouldn't fit. Oh and they started fogging up really bad anywhere colder than a standard pool.
7)In a river.

This. One other thing to look out for is that the straps stay adjusted; I have a pair of Adidas goggles that fit well but the straps tend to come loose when wet and need readjusting every time I use them - this is such an obvious design flaw that I didn't even think about it. Some sort of ridging where the straps go through the buckles helps.
