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

Total game changer

"The comfiest and toughest work socks I have ever worn. I wear them 7 days a week and have well over 10 pairs. Had lots of skin irritation on my feet before I switched to wearing these. They might be thicker than normal socks, but don’t let that fool you. They are very breathable and their moisture wicking is outstanding. My feet stay dry and comfortable all day. These are the only socks I own other than dress socks and I have no regrets."

— Don P. (5/5)

More for work shoes, not daily drivers.

"Bought this to evaluate if they would be a close enough to a full cushion, midweight, quarter sock. Design of cushion on these was unacceptable compared to the full cushion, midweight, boot height socks, ended up being very uncomfortable when walking. Likely more useful with actual steel toe/reinforced toe shoes. Ended up returning them. Recommend to DT to develop full cushion, midweight, quarter height socks similar to their boot height ones."

— Joshua A. (1/5)

Work sock

"These socks were meant for work! I use them daily doing variety of handyman and landscapers work. Forget they are there comfortable."

— Edward B. (5/5)

This is the fourth pair

"This is the fourth pair of socks I have bought. I started with the work socks and have now finished with these. Each pair has been great so far. I am on my feet in a warehouse all day, and these have helped me so much better than many others."

— jon T. (5/5)

Steely socks

"Very comfortable. I work on my feet all day and these are the best socks I have ever worn. Thankful to have found them."

— Michael P. (5/5)

They were great at first

"They were great at first wear, but after washing they shrunk to the point where they hurt my feet to wear. It would be nice if these were offered in a 2XL size."

— Daniel M. (3/5)

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."

— Kristen B. (4/5)

These mid weight socks are

"These mid weight socks are great for all day work. The padding help keep your feet comfortable"

— RANDAL E. (5/5)

Gift

"I've worn DT socks for about 6 years and love them. I bought these for my son in-law who was complaining to me that he goes through a pair of socks every 4-6 months. So far so good."

— Paul H. (5/5)

A great sock for work

"A great sock for work boots, this quarter length works great with shorts. My feet stay comfortable and dry"
