Feet wearing work socks, the best socks for work boots because they thermoregulate

Thermoregulation for Any Climate, Any Job

The wrong combination of work sock and work boot does not go unnoticed. We produce socks with a high-density knit that make them virtually indestructible, knit with three simple ingredients of Merino Wool, Nylon, and Lycra®, making them the most versatile socks for all environments. Wool has a natural crimp that creates pockets of insulation, while also venting the moisture it absorbs to leave you feeling dry. You stay warm while avoiding sweaty feet and remain cool through natural venting. Wool is amazing.

Reviews

Perfect socks for warehouse work

"It does fit as expected and the softness of the wool is amazing. These are perfect to wear with my steel toe work boots and the length helps protect my shins too. I picked these socks because I wanted take care of my feet since I'm walking all day. It was definitely a steep cost at first but these are great American made socks and I definitely want more"

— Angelita H. (5/5)

Made for Life at Sea — Toughest Socks I’ve Ever Worn

"The Darn Tough Men's Steely Boot Midweight Work Socks are hands-down some of the best work socks I’ve worn — insanely comfortable, durable, and perfect for long shifts in steel-toe boots. The merino wool keeps feet dry and comfortable year-round, while the full cushioning helps fight fatigue all day. Pricey for socks, but the lifetime warranty and “basically indestructible” feel make them absolutely worth it."

— Chase S. (5/5)

Best socks I have found

"Best socks I have found since the Army quit issuing wool socks many years ago. I have diabetes and have to have my feet examined periodically. These socks make my feet feel great"

— KC H. (5/5)

Instantly fell in love with

"Instantly fell in love with these socks. I'm trying to collect different cushioning and weight so I can decide which one is my favorite. Also different boots and weather will require different socks. What really amazes me is after work my feet don't smell bad and neither do the socks. I'm going to be a customer for life!"

— Scott T. (5/5)

Great Boot Socks

"I recently picked up a few pairs of Darn Tough Vermont men’s Steely Boot Midweight work socks, and they’ve been outstanding. They fit perfectly, and stay up! The merino wool keeps my feet cool and dry, and they’re incredibly comfortable even on long days. Tough, breathable, and backed by a lifetime guarantee—these are easily my go-to boot socks"

— Dan H. (5/5)

Perfect socks, perfect for work boots, perfect for the entire day!

"Very comfortable soft socks. They are padded and feel great on your feet even if you're on your feet. These socks should be made higher just below the knee that way you have then have a choice, either ankle or calf length. And the quality is great since they are Merino Wool. And the fit is perfect, they just cling to your feet throughout the entire day."

— MARIO M. (5/5)

I don’t wear steel toe

"I don’t wear steel toe boots but I like these even so. They are very comfortable, don’t slip in my boots, and the toe feels extra cushioned compared to other darn tough work socks, which just makes your toes feel better at the end of the day."

— Jordan S. (5/5)

My feet do not sweat

"My feet do not sweat or stink in these socks! Believe it or not lol. Only small draw back. they are a little snug around my calves, we’ll see how they are once they break in"

— Brandon Q. (5/5)

Game changer

"These are the best socks I've ever worn. They are comfortable enough to wear all day while on the site in my steel toes, which is not something I've experienced before. Usually I have to change socks at lunch to keep blisters away."

— Charles M. (5/5)

I got these as a

"I got these as a last attempt to mitigate my overheating feet while working in a power plant. While I still have an issue occasionally, these wool socks have made a major difference to keep moisture in check. I wear them year round without issue and having over a year on my first few pairs, they still look new"

— Matthew M. (5/5)

Q&A

So are they good for summer and winter ?
Yes, Merino wool’s natural properties (insulation, moisture wicking, breathability) help the socks adjust to temperature changes. Many customers say they stay comfortable in both heat and cold with this style.
Hiya folks, I was wondering if you're ever going to make a version of the 2006 steely over the calf?? These were the first socks I've ever bought from U guys. The softness is through out the sock. Some of your otc socks just aren't comfortable. Sry. Or do you do custom?? Thanks in advance!! Richard C.
Hi Richard! Thanks for the question! We've reached out to you via email.
Would size 11 wide be considered Large or XLarge?
Hi Laura! Size 11 would be a size Large
Is this price per pair?
Yes🧦
Any scope for when more size large steely socks will be available?
Hey Caleb, thank you for reaching out and we apologize that the socks you're looking for are currently out of stock in your size. We will have more of this style available soon! Please keep an eye out on darntough.com for availability.
