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

Just right

"Fit is perfect, look great, provide the warmth and cushion I prefer and the design is classic."

— Dan G. (5/5)

The best I've I've had

"I just purchased my first pair of men's Paul Bunyan Over-the-Calf midweight sockes. I wear woxboy boots every day, up to 13" shaft height. These socks are great. They are extreme;ly well made and do not slide down. They prevent chafing of my calves (I have large calves). Being wool, they do not get too hot, even on warm days. Best of all, they are made right here in the USA. I HIGHLY recommend these socks. I have tried several different brands. These are the best I='ve found."

— Mark K. (5/5)

Very happy customer. .

"So far I love these socks, the cushion is just right and they stay up on my calves keeping swelling at bay. . there's a reason I only own Darn Tough socks . They fit perfectly, they're a good looking sock and they don't feel slippery in my footwear, add to that a lifetime warranty? Why buy anything else. ."

— Mark C. (5/5)

A very comfortable sock that

"A very comfortable sock that keep my legs warm and also act as a compressor sock keeping my legs from swelling. An awesome sock. for the money"

— Howard D. (5/5)

The BEST WORK SOCK EVER!!

"The BEST WORK SOCK EVER!! These socks are durable, supportive padded, keep your feet cool and dry in any temperature! They are over the calf Merino Wool and the do not droop down your leg no matter how active you are through the day. Never have I came across a WORK SOCK / BOOT SOCK like these!"

— MARIO M. (5/5)

Best socks

"I’ve been wearing Darn Tough socks for a few years now and can’t say enough. I tried them because I was tired of wearing out cotton socks after only wearing them a few times and was tired of wasting money. I have worn out only one pair in over 2 years and with their life time warranty was able to get a new pair. They are comfortable, supportive, they keep you warm when it’s cold and help keep your feet dry when it’s hot. Pick a pair for the use you need, (work, hiking, hunting, running) and you won’t go wrong."

— Jon G. (5/5)

Best work socks IMHO

"Durable, comfortable, all-weather socks. I deliver mail and walk between 50 and 80 miles every week, with hills, stairs, pavement, and grass. I wear these socks for work winter and summer. They will last about six to eight months before they get a hole in the toe area, but for how they go through, that's pretty amazing. I just use the warrantee to get more."

— Jin-Huon J. (5/5)

Extremely comfy butttttttttttt…. .

"Extremely comfy socks if you’re in work boots all day on the job site. I have 5 pairs and love the comfort for my feet. Buttttttttt they fall down. They are at my ankles by the end of 10 hours. That’s the only issue with them. If I go down a size I rip them pulling them on."

— CJ M. (4/5)

Once I received these socks

"Once I received these socks I immediately put them on just to check for fit. They are very comfortable and well made. When the end of my day came it was difficult to remove the because I enjoyed them so much."

— Darrel L. (5/5)

I would buy again

"I wear these in the fall for outdoor activity"

— victor d. (5/5)

Q&A

I am looking for wool socks that will help against the raw heels that I got from my recent moose hunt. My rubber insulated boots became wet with perspiration that My skin on the back of the heels wore off. I will mostly wear 9’ boots for hunting in Pa. I am looking for both knee-hi and boots socks. I have 16-16.5 calves.
This is an excellent sock to try! The Paul Bunyan has Full Cushion, to not just protect your feet, but heel, ankle, and calf as well! You can also check out our Men's Midweight and Heavyweight Hunting Socks, all those are great options to try! 😊
I have 8 pair of the Paul Bunyan XXL socks and I love them but they are extremely tight in the foot area. It takes me several minutes to get them over my feet every morning. I was wondering if you have any other styles that are much larger in the foot area. If you do, I would like to know the item number so I can buy a pair to try. They don’t need to be over the calf either.
Hi Lyman! While all of our socks are knit with a snug performance fit, we recommend our Tactical Line of Socks for customers looking for a more forgiving stretch overall. You can find those here -- https://darntough.com/collections/tactical-socks -- and you might check out model T4022 for a full cushioned Midweight boot sock simular to the Paul Bunyan. If you need any further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us. Darn Tough Vermont Support Team 877-327-6883 support@darntough.com
When will this be available in medium?
Hey Matt! At the moment we have more Bunyans in size Medium in transit to our warehouse, and we should have those available in the next week or so! Keep your eyes peeled on our website.
How is the top of the sock ribbing? Are they suitable for diabetes? I’m questioning if they could be tight and cause swelling.
Hi Melinda! This Midweight sock features ribbing throughout the leg, with our signature snug, performance fit, designed to reduce rubbing and bunching that can lead to blisters. We know it can be tricky to shop for socks online so we got you covered with free return shipping for exchanges or returns for 90 days on all orders placed on our website, just in case!
Do you sell a sock for men with a large calf circumference.
Hi Caprice, we knit our socks with a snug, performance fit so your socks stay up all day long and prevent blisters. If you are looking for an Over the Calf option with some good stretch, check out our Westerner! https://darntough.com/products/mens-merino-wool-westerner-otc-lightweight-work-socks?variant=37874240487610
