After years of wearing the old explorers and they went overseas and were hopeless. Then I tried multiple brands of socks and they weren’t great but these socks really are good. Not cheap but my philosophy is buy cheap buy twice 👍👍👍
I regularly walk and really suffer from aching feet. Really magic cushion effect, they just feel great, so comfortable. If you are on your feet and need to feel more comfortable, Get Some!
Excellent work socks. Stop soggy feet and blisters.
On my feet on concrete all day, outside in Melbourne (so, heat and cold and everything inbetween), doing in excess of 20k steps a day...thesesocks are fantastic
Its socks. What is there to say?
Well, it turns out a lot. These are by far the best I have worn. Comfy, feels wonderful on the feet, after a wash dont feel like they are going to gall apart.
Do yourself a favour and try them

He says they're the most comfortable pair of socks he's ever had!
Comfortable, great to wear if on your foots all day !
The merino work socks are wonderfully comfortable, and I'm glad to get socks for small feet that aren't pink or for children!
They had to use slightly different packaging for my order and the note explaining it gave me a chuckle.
The site looked nice and was easy to navigate. Shipping was prompt. Glad to be able to buy good socks from within Australia.
No issues at all, I'll definitely buy from them again and would recommend them.
Thanks Alastair!
THICK MERINO WORK SOCKS
Ordered and received two pair to test them out, so far so good!
All Australian socks, well made, great price, comfortable. Highly recommend!
yeah mate
Worth every penny 👌 comfortable, thick and very good quality. Everything you'd expect from Australian made socks.
So good I bought an extra 4 pairs
Super warm and comfortable with plenty of room for active feet. Looking forward to getting more pairs.
10/10 I wear them every day. Going to replace all my socks with these. Slide great into my Solovairs and they keep my feet dry as the Sahara. Sniff test at the end of a long day, fresh as daisies. I have crazy sensory issues with all socks and these are the first ones I've tried that don't cause any discomfort.
Comfy socks
They're very good comfortable socks that I'm sure will last for years and years. Thank you.
Comfy socks but don’t stay on you feet, end up in a bunch at the end of your boot
no thicker then other socks
I recently purchased few pairs of socks from Only Socks, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase! I purchased four pairs to take advantage of the free postage. These socks are incredibly comfortable, with a perfect balance of softness and durability. They stay up all day without slipping, which is great for someone like me who’s always on the move. What really impressed me was how breathable they are, keeping my feet fresh even after long hours. The quality is top-notch, and they’ve held up beautifully after multiple washes. I do wash them inside out. If you’re looking for socks that combine comfort, functionality, and style. My only issue is that my hubby accidentally put a pair of mine on recently and now wants a few pairs too. Hardly an issue, right? Overall, highly recommended!
Great socks, comfy and warm.
Highly recommended!!
A little pricey but my toes aren’t complaining 👍👍
Utterly brilliant , most comfortable , saves on buying insoles , zero smell and made in Australia .
Entire world's in chaos but my feet are warm !
I have been looking for work socks that actually stay up, can fold over the top of my boots and are comfy. These socks fill all those boxes. I spend up to 14 hrs a day on my feet so the longevity will be the test.
Repeat costumer
Run slightly large- if I were to wear them without shoes they'd fall down, but fine with shoes.
Nice and warm for Winter and don't leave my feet sweating at the end of the day.
Love these socks! Wear well. Wash well. The tops aren’t tight. Don’t slip down your foot. Super comfy in my boots.
I did buy them for my husband but when they arrived I thought I had to try them. I’m definitely keeping my pair now. Thanks very much. We are both happy with our new socks!
Happy customer will buy again
