Best work socks?

[TexelBen]

Sick of "work socks" wearing through in no time, and sweaty feet.
Spend all of my time in Steelie dealer boots or wellies.
I'm assuming the more wool, the better?

I stick with Blaxnit/Bridgedale Pathfinders now, from trying them after one of these threads on here. Thick soles, stay up inside wellies and incredibly hard wearing. Just bought another dozen pairs off eBay a few days ago, to clear out all the other odds & sods that never get worn now.

I could do you a good deal on a bag of those ‘odds & sods’ if you’re looking for a bargain. Most haven’t even got holes in.

I tried doing a search for best socks, just came up with unhelpful stuff


Surely you need a hole at the top? Or how you you get your foot in?

You've got to admit the JCB, etc. 6 - 11 multi sized socks are cleverly designed.

Now all we have to do is find a use for a sock that always creates a little ridge under the foot inside the boot when inserted causing maximum discomfort. I'll have to wear this lot out because I'm too mean to throw out socks before the holes appear. But they will!

As other posts Brigedale socks are brilliant! Ultimate warmth and dryness have to be Sealskinz, both expensive but worth the money, nothing worse than cold wet feet!

I've taken to using baby powder as a lubricant to get my foot plus sock in and out of my wellies. But I am gradually getting through them....
