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

I Found the Perfect Socks

"These have become my go-to office socks. Fit perfectly, the right cushion under my feet and ankles so really comfortable. I live in New York City and my laundry is sent out and these socks never show any sign of wear and tear or what a commercial laundry can do to clothes."

— Scott P. (5/5)

Perfect socks!

"These are the perfect sock. They don't slide down ever! They fit like a glove and feel so comfy. They are forever guaranteed."

— Annie P. (5/5)

Never owning another brand again

"The biggest factor for me was the temp regulation because my feet get hot in steel toes at work all day. The cushion greatly helps with the fit/size of the steel toes boots also. 10/10"

— Wade H. (5/5)

Ordered these to see how

"Ordered these to see how they compare to a compression sock. Like the fit except for the top band around the calf was a little tight for my liking. Otherwise a good boot sock."

— dawndi k. (4/5)

Durability, quality and comfort

"This brand is the only socks my husband wears! I honestly don't know how long we've been purchasing them. If you're looking for durability and comfort, look no further."

— Beth S. (5/5)

The best!!

"I’ve been buying Darn Tough since 2020 and they are by far the best socks Ive ever owned! I work construction 6-7 days a week, 10 to 14hrs a day so I’ve tested Darn Tough socks to the limits and hands down, they are the best and ultimately they last! Thanks, Doug"

— MICHAEL W. (5/5)

Great Socks

"Great socks very comfortable just as they claim. I'm going to order more soon."

— Dan D. (4/5)

Only one 12. 5 hr shift

"Only one 12. 5 hr shift in these, but they feel great and the compression is nice. A bit different from my favourite Paul Bunyans, but I quickly grew accustomed to the new feel and should continue to enjoy."

— Michael S. (5/5)

Too long for many women

"I would give these a five but they are not really unisex. The legs on the size S (I wear women's 8. 5 shoes) are way too long for me. Unfortunately you only sell the women's version in shale (unless you buy the bundle of two and I did not want shale--already have several pairs and love them). Otherwise the socks are great but the length is an impediment for someone my size (5'3")."

— Susan L. (3/5)

Skinny leg sock

"They are great if you have skinny legs. I cannot wear them over the calf because it cuts off the circulation. Not what I expected. Fit the foot fine."

— Douglas K. (1/5)
