Seriously, the best working man's socks I've ever owned. I've owned maybe a dozen pairs of the Carhartt force socks. About half are the standard black calve length. I have a few pairs of the grey calve length, and black quarter socks. I've worked as a delivery driver and warehouse manger, in jobs where I'm on my feet for most of the 10-12 hour shifts, averaging 6-8 miles of walking per shift. Of the 15 pairs I've bought, All but 3 or 4 individual socks haven't survived the 6 years that I've worn these socks. I only purchased additional work socks because I needed different colors and sock lengths to wear with the different color/height work boots that I switched to at a new job. These hold up forever, don't have odor issues, and don't stain.

My only complaints about the socks are
  1.) The gray stripe on the calves means that I can't wear these at jobs where the uniform policy requires solid black socks. I wish they had a solid  color version.
  2.) They don't come in brown/tan/khaki. I really need a (mostly) solid brown version of these.
