I love the way these socks feel. They've got stretchiness but only enough to make them fit like a glove. They feel comfortable to me, and easy on the feet while providing some actual cushion for them. These are highly specialized socks, made for people who work in extreme conditions that require a work boot. But they're also appropriate for those who sweat and lot like me.

Keeping feet dry in shoes and boots comes down to a few decisions, and one is to not use cotton even though cotton is perfect for most clothing uses. I'm the sweaty type and quickly get holes on the bottoms of my cotton socks. This doesn't happen when I use socks without cotton. They remind me of the socks I was issued for boot camp so long ago.

They're precious socks, but they're made to be worn and take some hard use.
