Summary

Great sock for when you're on your feet all day.

Pros

  • Comfortable
  • Durable
  • Keeps feet warm
  • Good moisture control
  • Good fit

I am on my feet for 8+ hours a day at my job, so I was looking for a comfortable sock with good heat and moisture control in my work boots. These things are perfect.

I wear a size 9 men's shoe and the medium is a perfect fit. The bottom of these socks is nice and padded to provide more cushioning for your feet than a normal sock would. The wool material also does a good job of keeping my feet dry but I would recommend you air your feet out for a few minutes after a few hours of use to let the moisture evaporate away.

They have so far kept my feet very warm this winter so I have no complaints. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone on their feet for long periods of the day.
