If you’ve read up on our best boot guides, you’ve probably got yourself a sweet pair of boots! But you know what is just as important as a good boot? A good boot sock. Seriously, socks are some of the most underrated piece of clothing we wear every day, and they are easily more important in a boot. Socks have the ability to singlehandedly make your boots very comfortable, or make you rip them off! Depending on what you’re doing and look for, there is a sock for you!
5.11 Merino OTC Boot Socks
Look, 5.11 Tactical is featured on this site often and there is a reason for that. There products are designed for more wear and tear situations, and the company has had to build their reputation on the idea that things have to work. Their Merino OTC Boot socks are no different, they are a quality pair of socks that feel comfortable and will also keep you warm without feeling like you’re wearing an entire boot before you have the boot on!
Darn Tough Hiker Boot Socks
Darn Tough makes some awesome socks and their hiker series is one of my favourites. If you are wearing your boots for very extended times, these are the socks for you. The company also stands behind the product and you can bet these will last you a long time!
Eddie Baur Cotton-Blend Ragg Boot Socks
A lot of you will underestimate the Ediie Baur brand in clothing but honestly it’s very practical. Their Cotton-Blend Ragg boot socks are obviously mostly made out of cotton but still have a lot of warmth to them without becoming uncomfortable. If you were after a cotton sock, this is the series I would look at!
Under Armour HeatGear Tactical Boot Socks
Under Armour is obviously well known in the world for the gear they make. Their HeatGear tactical boot series is designed for police and military abuse so if you are looking for socks that need to last when shit hits the fan, on extended periods of time, check these out. They are also not as expensive as some of the others on this list but still offer great comfort and will keep you warm!
Filson Midweight Technical Boot Socks
Filson’s makes outdoor clothing mostly targeting the “worker” out there, and they have certainly built up quite the reputation as a reliable brand! These are made from a technical fabric instead of the mostly cotton or merino wool options that are on this list already. They are very durable and this fabric feels more comfortable for longer periods of time than some of the others.
Enjoy!
