As a work boot wearer during work hours and derby boots every other hour, I wear Onlysocks woolen work socks every day. These are by far the best, most comfortable and most consistent in size/shape than any other similar socks. I’m hooked for life
I knew I needed woollen socks to travel through novosotia in autumn, something comfortable for long plane flights and didn’t end up cold and moist. I was concerned the sock was too thick and designed for work wear and the thickness turned out to be a a great design feature providing cushioning and comfort. We walking around 10km per day and the socks held up well. The kick that enables me to give these socks a huge wrap is I wear these 2 or 3 days on the road and they don’t smell. Warm, snug, great cushioning and don’t smell at the end of the day. 😁
Great love them good Australian socks
Absolutely amazing socks, suffered horribly from sweaty smelly feet. Solved overnight when I swapped to these socks. 3 weeks on still no smelly feet
On my feet for big hours building. These are legit.
