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

Poked Holes in EVERY SINGLE PAIR Within a Month

"First off, I'll say see my review on the Steely work socks. They're essentially this sock but far superior. As for these, I bought four pairs and all four poked holes in the seam right at the top of the toe box. Usually, each pair lasted a week or so. I am meticulous with how I wash and dry them, and only wash after every other wear or so. Their customer support, however, is phenomenal, hence why they sent me two pairs of Steely socks on the house as compensation. However, those still had the same problem. I'm going back to my Ariat work socks as they fared far better for me, but for the individual who wants a comfortable, true-to-size, no stink sock and as long as you don't wear steel toes or do anything that could be considered hard on a sock, you're in luck. Is it worth the price? That's up to you to decide."

Still satisfied

"I have been a fan of Darn Tough socks since 2018 or so and find that their comfort, durability, design, and lifetime warranty to be unparalleled. That's why I wear them all the time—until I manage to wear them out. These latest John Henry socks replace an older pair that developed a hole after many years of use. What a treat to be able to exchange the old with the new so easily. Thank you!"

I wear a size 12 EW Wellington boot. I want the socks above the boot and not falling down. What size do you recommend?
Hi Mark, our Large ranges from 10-12. Due to the snug, performance fit of our socks some customers with wide feet, who also fall on the upper end of a size run, do find the next size up to be most comfortable.
