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!

"I was slightly skeptical if these would actually deliver in comfort and I could tell a difference when wearing them with steel toes but they more than delivered. They are so comfortable and add just enough cushion to protect your toes. I will say they do add a little bulk to be aware they may not work if you have a super tight toe box."

— Austin T. (5/5)

Most comfortable work socks ever!

"I absolutely love this make. As a newer customer to Darn Tough, I have purchased 10 different types. From lightweight with no cushion to middleweight full cushion. Both lightweight and middleweight have served me well for my first year, from temperatures that range from 30 degrees to 110 degrees. This version has been absolutely comfortable in my composite toe boots from Spring to Winter. As an arborist that is in the field and in the classroom, every temperature is absolutely comfortable. I absolutely believe in the quality of Darn Tough’s products, and a customer for life."

— Michael W. (5/5)

These are exceptional socks for

"These are exceptional socks for my steel toe shoes/boots. Despite the friction between the socks and steel toe plate, the socks withstood the wear and tear, and holes that normally accompanied lesser quality and reliable socks. The price point be a bit high for most budgets, but if they last a long time and has a lifetime warranty, they are worth the money."

— Newton L. (5/5)

High quality socks

"Top tier work socks, they provide an impressive amount of cushion while being lightweight. Breathable and good for summer use, we'll see how they do in the winter but they are probably the best wool work socks that I've found. Would definitely recommend and will almost assuredly be purchasing other Darn Tough products in the future. Fits true to size and, assuming it is honored, I don't know of a better warranty offered for this type of product."

— Jason B. (5/5)

Great for the safety toe work shoes

"Yet another great pair of Darn Tough Socks. I just got a pair of boots with a safety toe in them and these socks work really well with those boots. I am sure they would be fine with other shoes as well, but, with that extra cushion around the toes it's perfect for those safety toe boots."

— David B. (5/5)

No need to wash as often? See for yourself!

"What got me here, was a review written by another user who stated he did not need to wash the socks after one use. I decided to buy my pair and give them a try. It was a good decision. They really feel different from other everyday socks. I'm getting another pair to add to my rotation."

— JORGE P. (5/5)

The Best

"Absolutely love these socks. Very comfortable, highest quality and good looking. I will never buy another brand."

— Bob A. (5/5)

"Excellent quality, extremely comfortable and the perfect cushion for my fire boots"

— Tannan H. (5/5)

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)

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.
