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

More for work shoes, not daily drivers.

"Bought this to evaluate if they would be a close enough to a full cushion, midweight, quarter sock. Design of cushion on these was unacceptable compared to the full cushion, midweight, boot height socks, ended up being very uncomfortable when walking. Likely more useful with actual steel toe/reinforced toe shoes. Ended up returning them. Recommend to DT to develop full cushion, midweight, quarter height socks similar to their boot height ones."

— Joshua A. (1/5)

This is the fourth pair

"This is the fourth pair of socks I have bought. I started with the work socks and have now finished with these. Each pair has been great so far. I am on my feet in a warehouse all day, and these have helped me so much better than many others."

— jon T. (5/5)

Review title

"Cushion is thick, has sweaty feet for the first time in years. My own fault, I’m not used to quality socks and picked the wrong weight for the activity. I wish there was a 100% wool option. Looking forward to buying more pairs in various weights and styles. Now I’m just trying to fill up this review space. The bar isn’t really moving so it’s hard to tell. Hopefully this amount is enough."
