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

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."

Best socks I ever put

"Best socks I ever put on my feet I will be ordering more soon!!! Feet don’t hurt no more or my boots have a smell after working all day thanks a lot"

Decent, but Slides Down On My Feet

"They feel fine on the feet, but in terms of actual cushioning, I'm not so sure I can vouch for that 100%, but I also have bad calluses. . . . so take that with a grain of salt. My main issue with these is I guess I ordered them too short, because the sock kept rolling/sliding down my foot while walking in my safety boots. . mind you, mine are the Skechers safety boots that are just slip-on, slip resistant, the normal stuff. . . but it has no laces, maybe that had a bit of a contribution to the issue, but my standard socks I wear don't tend to slide down my feet. If I were to get these again, I would definitely try to go for longer ones, or ones with stronger elastic so they would stay on my feet and not slide down"

New Quarter socks.

"Very comfortable socks. They look to be made very well. Work great with hiking boots."

— Kevin P. (5/5)

The most comfortable pair I've ever owned.

"You know how you can be in a grumpy mood all day if you get a pebble stuck in your shoe that you're unaware of? These socks give you the opposite of that feeling. I was floating on dopamine all day. I forgot to take them off and ended up wearing them nearly all weekend. I thought I was in for a horror show but my feet are still dry. These socks are unreal. My feet have circulation, my toes aren't smashed together, my boots have cushioning again. You need to sell the quarter steelys in a 6 pack."

— Phil (5/5)
