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

S tier socks

"I LOVE these socks. I work 10-12 hour shifts on my feet, and would usually cheap out before buying these socks. They would shed, the pieces would get stuck between my toes and my nails and i felt constantly gross. Since switching to these for work shoes no more. I don’t even get blisters, they’re absolutely worth the money if you’re somebody who runs hot, has sensitive skin and wants something easy to take care of. I will never suggest another brand but darn tough!!"

— Greyson W. (5/5)

The cushioning is the difference.

"Theses socks pair perfectly with my boots. The all around cushioning is night and day even compared to other Darn Tough work socks. Darn Tough is excellent, you know that. Try these out if you want to try a little something extra!"

— jason p. (5/5)

Horrible! These and the element

"Horrible! These and the element socks both have a god awful smell to them after wearing them. I literally had to throw them all in the trash."

— Greg M. (1/5)

Great for long work days

"These socks keep my feet comfortable all day standing on concrete. They stay pretty dry after working in the heat for hours. Only issue I have is the toe box gets scrunched up when walking around the house with no shoes on. 10/10 recommend."

— Ryan W. (4/5)

Got me through years of work steel toed boots

"Bought a bunch of these socks after cheap socks I had before were hurting my feet while working in steel toes. The cushioning stopped my toes from hurting and the merino wool kept my feet from sweating too much even in the dead of summer. Just warrantied them after over 3 years of everyday use once the toes finally wore through and am looking forward to using my new pairs."

— Hunter (5/5)

Comfort

"I just keep going back to DT socks, the comfort is there. I love how the toe box expands and lets your toes feel free, and the rest of the sock is snug and comfortable."

— carlos m. (5/5)

Very tough, high quality, and

"Very tough, high quality, and incredible odor control. But the ankle area is too tight to cause compression marks every-time I put them on. they target my size US 10 and up to 12 yet are tight on the ankle area. That area isn't comfortable."

— Tai Q. (4/5)

Work sock

"They stay put all day, feel extremely well made, and hold up great through long days on my feet. 1 year of work and they’re fine."

— Rob B. (5/5)
