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

Great socks!

"They fit like a glove, very soft amd strong elastic, I really dont mind leaving them on after I remove the work boots, will purchase more very soon!!"

— Johnathan E. (5/5)

Amazing product!

"These socks are extremely comfortable and durable. They provide great cushioning without feeling bulky and keep my feet dry and comfortable during long days in work boots. Definitely a great choice for anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet."

— Connor B. (5/5)

Great work socks!

"I wear boots at work and these are A tier! They keep my feet dry, temperature regulated, and are just darn good. They hold up well even though I use them 10+ hours a day. I have no complaints with them. They fit perfect and are the best socks I have ever had. Definitely designed for boot wearers, so I don’t really use them for anything but my work. Excited to try out the warranty someday when these start to go, but that appears to be very far out!"

— Patrick W. (5/5)

Great socks! They are tough,

"Great socks! They are tough, as advertised. Tested them this week on a 10-mile hike over rough terrain. Will purchase more socks in the future."

— Mark O. (5/5)

Easily the best socks I’ve

"Easily the best socks I’ve owned. The comfort, breathability, and durability are unmatched. I wear safety toe boots at work and these are perfect boot socks."

— Matt L. (5/5)

Best socks in the world!

"Best socks I have ever owned and will never look for any other sock. They are comfortable for all day wear, moisture wicking and hold up like nothing I have ever experienced before. I am on my feet in a factory for 10 to 12 hours a day. I didn't realize a what true work sock was supposed to feel like until now. I am tempted to never take them off. Thank you Darn Tough for opening my eyes to quality."

— Lynn H. (5/5)

substantial knit construction. Thicker bottom

"substantial knit construction. Thicker bottom than top to minimize bulk on a thick mid-weight sock. No itch. But definitely performance wool vs a silky blend. Not sure on warmth yet."

— Michael S. (4/5)

Can make a bad pair of boots feel like clouds

"These socks provide great cushion and breathability my feet never feel moist or discomfort. Ive rotated through 9 pairs in the past year and a half and the socks have still help up, the only areas that seem to wear down with time are the heels but still hasn’t torn"

— Kyren K. (5/5)

This is my seventh pair

"This is my seventh pair of Darn Tough socks, and they are all my favorite. Darn Tough are the only brand of socks that I wear and will continue to be the only pair that I buy."

— Joe B. (5/5)

very comfortable with lots of

"very comfortable with lots of cushion. I use these primarily in my work boots in Alaska, a little warm for summer, but should be perfect for the winter."

— anthony p. (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.
