Are You Wearing the Right Socks With Your Work Boots?

Lets have a conversation about why the 6 pack of Fruit of the Loom socks from Walmart might not be the right sock to be wearing all day long.

[@marcopolo5553]

Go a casual day (wouldn’t suggest doing it on a work day) in regular natural breathable shoes (Holes all by the toes) without socks to find out how much your feet really sweat.

[@mikedk9215]

Great advice. Got waterproof motorcycle boots. My feet are damp with cotton socks. I´ll buy are pair of moisture-transporting socks (as they are called in Europe)

[@QuadCitySafetyInc]

Sounds like a plan and thanks for watching!

[@andrewc9790]

Moisture wicking just means they have polyester or polypropylene in them. Invest in merino wool, not plastic socks.

[@QuadCitySafetyInc]

Hi, thanks for watching! We have a little something for everyone. We carry Wolverine brand merino wool socks in store and online. Have a nice day!

What are the best boot socks for hot weather ? Also I like over the calf socks

[@andrewc9790]

@@fergusonto-2032 You best, not cheap. Darn Tough T3006 are the best in my opinion. They have a lot of choices so check out their website.

I work on the rail yard waterproof boots. My feet hurt and sweat. A friend suggested bamboo socks? Thoughts?

[@QuadCitySafetyInc]

I would make sure there is a adequate shank in your boots and suggest using a moisture wicking sock. We don’t sell bamboo socks but they are considered moisture wicking. Thanks for watching and let us know if we can help!

Not the guy that looks like he's on his feet a lot. Not being nasty but I'm looking to buy new wool socks for a guy that's standing 14+ hrs a day..

[@jameswalser8823]

Covert threads socks made for the military by retired military people they are the best socks I’ve ever owned and there made in the USA and they last , i went through 60 pairs of socks before I found the best.

[@QuadCitySafetyInc]

Thanks for the input and watching the video!

[@bfpierce]

On your recommendation I just picked up some Covert Threads desert socks and jungle socks for composite toe waterproof boots. Great socks! Thanks!

[@tarheel4wd]

I'll have to check them out!

[@Mothball556]

One can have waterproof or breathable boots, but not both. Sadly most non-waterproof boots I've been around don't breath either.

[@garrywinthorpe750]

What socks where in the video and where can I find them

[@QuadCitySafetyInc]

They are Wolverine socks. Strangely enough they discontinued the version that we had in the video. I’d check out any of their steel toe socks though. If you need help tracking some down send an email to [e-mail]

[@PolarIre]

Boots have tight spots at toe, ankle.. the boots are real tight at shin to lower ankle and people need moletape skin and thick socks

[@QuadCitySafetyInc]

I would say if you’re fitted for the proper sized/style of boots for your foot that these issues shouldn’t be happening. Thanks for watching the video!

[@jabarikidd801]

What's moletape skin ?

[@mrcrowleyoz]

I appreciate the info, so wear moisture wicker socks?

[@infamous_7650]

What’s a good insole for snow removal work?

[@QuadCitySafetyInc]

If you’re looking for something warming then “Little Hotties” have some thermal insulated insoles that I would recommend. Thanks for watching!

[@thevault2317]

FLUFFY!!!!

Do you have a link to this sock?

We don't have them for sale on our website but we do stock them in our shoe store. If you would like to get some coming reach out to [e-mail] and we will get you a quote. Here is a link to the sock. www.amazon.com.au/Wolverine-Socks-Ultimate-Safety-White/dp/B00RKMTGH4

[@johnlucius1665]

Which brand of socks do you suggest.

[@QuadCitySafetyInc]

Thanks for watching! A lot depends on what you’re wearing for boots. If you’re wearing waterproof boots then make sure you’re wearing a moisture wicking sock. There are socks that also feature added padding that compliment wearing protective toe. Diabetes also require special considerations. If you want to tell me what you’re doing and what you’re wearing I can definitely send you a link. [e-mail]

[@andrewc9790]

"Darn Tough" socks if you're willing to spend the money. Fox River steel toe boot sock are also excellent! Just shop around for sales so you're not paying $20.00+ a pair, your better off buying wool instead of poly-whatever. Avoid acrylic like the plague, all socks will have a break down of what they're made from on the packaging somewhere. The package might say WOOL, but it'll be 15% wool, 85% acrylic or some other plastic fibers.

Great getting some on Sunday I just got my timberland pros and not going well with my cheap Sox lol

[@QuadCitySafetyInc]

Sock, insole, boot. Need all 3 to work together! Thanks for watching!

@@QuadCitySafetyInc so two months later I still have my boots they work great, I also have my socks. One for every day of the week from Monday all the way to Saturday. THEY DONT EVEN GET SWEATY! Or moist best investment ever for daily comfort on hard days of work for my feet ever

[@QuadCitySafetyInc]

@@Oz_Nino great to hear! I’m glad your system is working out for you!

[@miltonwilliams2399]

You guys sell waterproof socks

[@QuadCitySafetyInc]

I’m not aware of a waterproof sock in one of our product lines. Looks that the brands that make them market them more as a hiking/athletic sock rather than a work sock. Thanks for watching the video!

[@tarheel4wd]

Man I guess I need to invest in good shocks. Does anyone recommended certain brands? I'm on a budget.

[@QuadCitySafetyInc]

I’d look at Wolverine socks.

[@tarheel4wd]

@@QuadCitySafetyInc like Wolverine boots company? Their socks?

[@redd605]

I had this problem for a few years, socks cutting circulation to my feet swelling above the ankles calf strain. Because of the socks

[@QuadCitySafetyInc]

Dang… I’m glad you were able to figure out the source. Thanks for watching!

[@MrJasonworkman]

However it’s best to wear jungle boots whenever possible

[@QuadCitySafetyInc]

That’s one piece of advice for sure. Thanks for watching the video!

@@jj1562-e3m just giving you a hard time since you’re comment doesn’t make sense to me. We’re going over things to look for in work socks.
