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

Well made and comfortable

"I just purchased the Darn Tough Men's Westerner Over-the-Calf Lightweight socks. I wear cowboy boots everyday and as summer approaches I wanted a cooler sock for the hot daytime temperatures. I also like an over-the-calf sock to prevent chafing on my calves. These socks do not disappoint. The are extremely soft and comfortable and the perfect height. They are worth every penny. You get wwhat you pay for. I highly recommend them."

— Mark K. (5/5)

Overall comfortable

"Lightweight. Calf is a little tight, foot fits good. Wearing the socks during yard work and tucking in pants. Live in a deer tick area. Also the same with the crew. White is a good color. Would like to see these socks in a light gray color."

— Carol S. (4/5)

Just as represented

"The length for over the calf is perfect. Very comfortable, wash well. Wear these daily for work. With the warranty, won’t be buying any other socks."

— Sherrie B. (5/5)

Way too lightweight

"These are so thin and lightweight it made all of my cowboy boots feel too big. Caused way to much slip in even my brand new pair of boots and my older boots are unwearable with these socks. I had high hopes for these socks but I guess it is back to the faithful Dan Post OTC socks."

— Shawdaddy (1/5)

Comfortable socks

"These socks are very comfortable and provide good coverage for my boots. I also believe they will keep my feet warm in the winter period."

— Chris S. (5/5)

Socks are 100%

"They quality of these socks are 100%. They're comfortable all day and fit perfect."

— Annie P. (5/5)

Worth buying more

"Sock was of high quality. I have a brace on my left leg so these calf socks are a must. I'll be buying more in the future."

— Jon C. (4/5)

Very comfortable. I wear them

"Very comfortable. I wear them with slip on boots. They don’t slide down below your boot top. Like the life time guarantee."

— Steven (5/5)

These are the best boot

"These are the best boot socks I have found. They stay up all day while in the saddle riding & are very comfortable. The warranty is also unbearable. Great socks! R Hall"

Q&A

Would be awesome if you guys made a crew sock version of this one. Something to consider? ;-)
Hi Dave, thanks for reaching out and sharing your idea with us! We’ve entered it on our Suggest a Sock page so our Product team can review it. 🙂 For any future ideas, you can submit them here: https://darntough.com/pages/suggest-a-sock
Sooo if one gets a hole.. do I send the pair back or literally just the one sock?
Hi Heather! Great question. We do ask that you send back the pair of socks, not just the one sock.
Are these socks for big boys? I am hoping they are both moisture-wicking and stretchy.
This style is considered one of our stretchier options. But, it is still knit with our snug, performance fit.
Is the price for 1 pair
Yes🧦
When will the Men's Westerner Over-the-Calf Lightweight Work Sock in charcoal, size Large be back in stock? I bought five pairs for work and these are the only socks I found that don't fall during the day. I hate matching socks, so I would prefer to have the same size and color. Thank you for your time.
Hi Timothy! Thank you for reaching out and we apologize that the socks you're looking for are currently out of stock in your size. We are hustling to knit more as we speak and we're sorry that we can't provide an exact timeline of when we expect them back in stock. We don't currently have the functionality to automatically notify a customer when something comes back into stock. It is something we are looking at adding in the future and apologize it is not yet available. If you need any further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us.
