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

LIFESAVER

"Finding the Darn Tough socks designed for steel toe work boots and wearing them only one time brought me back to my 100% comfort at my workplace. I was going to lose my job, being in pain every day. I'm happy I found Darn Tough! My feet are THANKFUL beyond words. It's not just socks - for me it was lifesaver! I truly recommend and I'm looking forward getting more comfort with trying the other varieties. DARN CUSHIONED, DARN TOUGH! High level comfort."

— Svetla K. (5/5)

Solid work sock

"These feel good in work boots. Just heavy enough to do what socks need to do but not so heavy that it feels oppressive in heat. I wear them around the house too. Color is great."

— Rachel (5/5)

Bigger than I thought

"I love these socks, but the small was larger than expected. I washed AND dried the first time and they are perfect now. And I don’t plan to dry them again. Great cushioning and comfortable"

— Denise D. (5/5)

Happy Feet

"I don't like most socks because the seam always creates friction and discomfort; these are great because there are no seams that I can feel! They are soft and almost feel like I'm not wearing socks. I find the toe bed area to be slightly wide (and I have wider feet) but not so much that it's bothersome. This was my first pair of Darn Tough and I'll be purchasing more to replace my other socks. The length of these is just right. They are a bit thicker than I anticipated but are cushioned; they would be great for a fall/winter sock."

— Teahl L. (5/5)

best socks ever

"I have worn darn tough socks for over 30 years and am a fan for life. the fit and comfort are uncomparable to any other brand."

— Tanya J. (5/5)

These are heavier and good

"These are heavier and good for working and winter. As with all Darn Tough socks - they are wonderful. And I love the color combination."

— Susan B. (5/5)

These socks have it all

"These socks have it all - comfort, quality and cuteness ;) Plus, my favorite color combo, blue and green(ish). The padding keeps my soles and toes from barking at me after a longish day on my feet."

— Diane M. (5/5)

Perfect socks

"I love these socks! I wear them when I walk my dog and when I go to the gym and just for every day. And, I love the colors as they match that of the Alaska state flag, which is where I grew up."

— Cindy R. (5/5)

Great sock

"I really like the cushoning on the sole that helps with my slightly smaller foot when wearing my barefoot runners. Added bonus the ankle doesn't squeeze my surgery scar."

— Susan A. (4/5)

The just right socks

"I am more of the over-the-calf sock type of customer. I like my socks to stay put. However, with spring and summer fast approaching, I needed to rethink my stance. I decided to give these socks a chance. I am glad I did. Not only were they comfortable, I did not find myself reaching down to pull them up. I will be getting more of these to put into my warm weather wardrobe."

— Ann S. (5/5)
