SigM4Over the calf boot sock recommendations
What say you folks? I've been wearing a pack of Wolverine socks for the better part of 5 years believe it or not. They were bought as a stopgap when I forgot my regular socks, but have help up incredibly well in that time. Unfortunately the style I bought is no longer made. Have had good luck with some Wrangler brand in the past while wearing them with my cowboy boots, but I don't wear those daily to work in.
Trying to find 4-5 pairs that won't brake the bank and aren't too thick. Thoughts?
Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.

flesheatingvirusPoint 6. They have various weights for various conditions. Keep an eye out for sales.
I mostly use these:

MikeinNCThorlos. I was gifted a pair 20 years ago by my MIL. I wore boots daily when I was a cop and boots when I was a sailor. Eventually she got to giving me new pairs every time they came to visit because they passed the outlet on the way over. They easily lasted several years.
I don’t wear work boots anymore as a cop or in the reserves, but I have cowboy boots and they are worn with them.

CPD SIGI’m wearing w pair of Cabellas brand socks right now. Thick, warm, and wick sweat away pretty well. They have them in different lengths.
Another favorite in warm weather is Duluth Trading.
I also have 2 pairs of Under-Armor. Merino wool- excellent for colder weather!

Cabela’s here to for like 10 years or so now. They last quite a while and are cheap enough that it does not really matter.
Made in the USA!!

Fly-SigLucchese boot socks. I wear them with my cowboy boots regularly. They are durable and seem to resist odor well. Available 100% wool or a wool blend.
Or, Moto Skiveez. They are my favorite for motorcycling and airplane travel. They have some compression which is valuable when sitting, and the material definitely stops odors.

After 3-4 different brands, the Wrangler boot socks are my favorite of the ones I have.
Thick enough to be comfortable in Ariat boots, but not too heavy for TX heat/humidity.

mrvmaxOver the last 35 years wearing boots to work I have worn Thorlo, Smartwool, Darn Tough, Cabelas/Bass Pro brand, Wolverine and probably every other brand out there. Darn Tough are the longest lasting I have owned but I do like Smartwool.
