FOX RIVERSteel-Toe Mid-Calf Boot Work Socks, 2 Pack

17 May 2017 - Had 7 pair for 1 year, wear every pair every week, wear steel toe work boots at work, also lots of hiking. Two socks (out of 14) just now have holes at the toe after 50+ uses each. But the socks are no longer as thick and fluffy as they were when new, they all need to be replaced. That's still over 2X the use of the Dickies Heavyweight Work socks, and Fruit of the Loom Work Gear socks.Original review - I have a total of 7 pair of these socks, first bought 4 months ago. I wear one or two pair every day so each of the 7 pair get used twice a week (about 32 uses each pair so far). I wear steel toe boots most of the time, spend a lot of my time outdoors.I used to wear Dickies Heavyweight Work socks, and Fruit of the Loom Work Gear socks. I probably had 20-30 pairs of those brands at any one time, each pair was worn about 2 times month. Both brands would wear out at the toe within 1 year (maybe 24 uses).The Fox River socks are definitely thicker than the Dickies and the Fruit of the Loom. My feet are a little more snug in my boots, but its a comfortable fit. The Fox River socks last longer, roughly 32 hard working uses per pair and no sign of any holes. And the Fox River actually fit properly, the heel of the sock is at my heel.While the Fox River socks cost more per pair, they are thicker, more comfortable, fit properly, and last much longer than Dickies or Fruit of the Loom. Higher initial cost, lower cost long term, high quality, long life. Worth the price.

These socks are all that my husband wears with his steel toed boots for work. Cushy, comfortable, and long lasting. Worth every penny.

Product as described

These are ridiculously long, they reach up nearly to my knee (and I wear a size 12-13 depending on shoe), I often have to roll them down because my upper calves start itching from the pressureThey are heavily cushioned and very warm, they keep my feet dry even when they get wet (after a short time mild moisture wicks off)Seem to be holding up to regular washing and wearI will try to remember to update my review in a few months once I have had a chance to test the durabilityI also bought a pair of Darn Tuff and will be comparing the 2 eventually (the Darn Tuff have a better fit and finish, less wooly design, and are shorter, they are also quite a bit more expensive but carry a lifetime warranty)

I bought here thru Amazon after searching a long while for good work socks for Steel Toe Boots. I work 10 hours a day in a refinery with a lot of walking. Here in SW Louisiana it is very hot and humid much of the year. Other than the comfort, nice fit and great durability I didn't notice anything extreme until I wore an old pair of Wolverine work socks. When I took my work boots off my socks and feet were soaked from sweat. I noticed that! It immediately dawned on me that with the Fox River socks I noticed alost no wetness to the sock or my feet. I have paid close attention since then with Heat Index near 110 degrees and extreme humidity and still dry feet and socks. I don't know how they do it but I am highly impressed! I bought 10 pair and have no regrets. The bonus is I don't get holes in the toes! Awesome American Made Product!

My husband has a job at a mill and is required to wear steel toed boots. The tops of his toes and various areas on his feet were rubbing raw from his boots! I went on an in depth search for some steel toed socks, wanting to purchase good ones to solve his issue quick. After HOURS of research I found these and ordered them. He wears lace up boots so he never has trouble with them falling down, they have solved the issue of his boots rubbing his feet raw, and after a year of HARD use I am back to reorder him some new ones! They are still holding up fine but he just needs some fresh socks! These are thick but they are not hot, he was worried about his feet burning up because he does work in a very hot environment, but there is no issue there! They have extra padding on the top and bottom of the toe as well as the heel area! 11/10 recommend.

Have been trying to find a sock that works for my hiking boots and found these, which have saved my feet. I have problem feet and toes, and with these socks those problems disappear, what a relief! I was getting deep blisters under my toes and blisters on top of my toes from rubbing. The socks come in a good selection of sizes, so you can buy the properly sized one, which for me, made a huge difference. It means the sock is not "traveling" around your foot, which was a problem with the too large socks that I was buying at the department store. The toes and heel are well and generously padded and keep your feet dry.The other thing I notice is that they stay put on my ankle and above, and do not constrict my leg and cut off circulation. Whoever designed these socks thought things out.I have been hiking in these for a couple of weeks now, and can now focus on actually walking rather than worrying about my feet, which was getting to the point where I thought I would have to quit hiking. I hiked a couple of miles today at a very fast pace, and my feet felt wonderful!

These socks feel soft and comfy but they are super thick. Got them since I use a steel toe boot and my regular socks didn't have enough padding. But the problem I am having is that it feels too tight for me. These socks would be great if you have loose fitting shoes but if your shoes are just right then the additional thickness of these socks will make it uncomfortably tight.

My husband is really happy with these!They are warm and comfy. Good quality!

Lo utilizo diario con mis botas de seguridad en el trabajo. Proveen de mejor soporte las puntas metálicas de mis botas. Y tienen la base de las mismas muy gruesa, otorgando mayor confort a las pisadas.

Mein Mann ist begeistert :) Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass solche Freudenausbrüche bei Socken möglich sind :)Gleich vorweg muss ich allerdings gestehen, dass ich wegen der Größe etwas Sorgen hatte. Größe M - ja...aber was ist das genau? Meinem Mann, der normalerweise Schuhgröße 43 trägt, passen sie allerdings perfekt.Die Socken sind sehr sehr weich und dick - viel mehr als es das Produktfoto angibt.Sie erscheinen aber schon in den Händen trotz der Dicke atmungsaktiv zu sein.An den entsprechenden Stellen (da wo Arbeitsschuhe drücken und rubbeln) sind die Socken nochmal extra verstärkt. Ein sehr guter Tragekomfort entsteht auch durch den oberen Rand, der verhindert dass die Socken wieder runter rutschen. Sie halten gut am oberen Bereich der Wade. Auch die Verstärkungsstellen verändern ihre Position nicht, auch nicht wenn man in nur halb aufgeschnürte Arbeitsschuhe schlüpft.Auch ohne Schuhe findet sie mein Mann sehr angenehm: warm, weich, an den richtigen Stellen gepolstert und daher wollte er sie nach der ersten Anprobe gar nicht mehr ausziehen und hat sie den gesamten Abend über mit stolz getragen - ja, ich hab manchmal einen Spinner daheim :)Die Verarbeitung und das gesamte Material erscheint sehr hochwertig. Nirgendwo sind lose Fäden oder falsch vernähte Kanten.Ein wahrlich gutes Fußgefühl. Kann man nur weiterempfehlen!

Instant hit with me. I'm very fussy when it comes to my work socks. They are warm, stay dry through the day and the tops are very comfortable. I'm also a wool sock only guy, but the blend in these socks is very nice

Very comfortable, fits a little large, very thick for cold winters.
