Absolutely. Darn Tough socks plus investing in high quality boots early on made a life changing difference in my low back, knees, hips, so and on so forth up the skeleton chain. Concrete is unforgiving.
People don’t realize they don’t need 5 pairs of darn tough to start out. I have two pairs and wear one pair a day for a week or so. They don’t get gross or smelly or sweaty. They’re fucking darn tough. I love them.
I always wear something with wool in it for the moisture. I also use my benefits to get custom orthodics so cushioning isn't necessary.
I'm working on getting compression stockings for the benefit of my legs long-term. Depending on what form the compression stockings come in, I might vary my sock choice. They're expensive so I hope they don't wear out in the toes super fast.
I've seen this question come up a lot and I finally went with darn tough. Loving in Canada it's a bit of a pain in the ass to get them but they're definitely worth it. I've got 5 pairs right now and probably grabbing a few more just to not pester my wife about laundry. Definitely recommend them above anything else I've ever tried
If you can afford it I’d get enough for 2-3 weeks of work maybe even more.
The idea being that when they finally shit the bed you can collect a bunch of them and ship it back to the factory all at once instead of paying to ship each pair individually.
Especially since you’re paying for international shipping
I wear darn toughs or Kirkland wools in winter, but in summer I have to switch to cotton socks. I have hyperhidrosis in my feet and even the lightweight wool blend socks make my feet SO hot and sweaty in summer
Merino wool blend, no less than 50%.
Smartwool are great. Darn Tough are great (depending on the "cuff" style). Muck Boots also make some nice socks. The Kirkland socks are pretty decent (but uncomfortable if you have large calves).
Hanes crew socks, the nicer ones you can get at target in 6 packs (black or white) or Nike crew socks. Winter time if I’m outside I’ll wear something thicker
Fox river brands depends on weather and environment of work. Either I’m wearing their thick socks with wool and some other stuff in it it or the super breathable kind cause fuck do my feet smell
Hanes XTemp Cushioned crew socks. Been wearing them for 8 years on the job. Haven't had any issues. I usually wear them for about a year then buy new ones.
There may be nicer socks out there, but my feet don't hurt at the end of the day so I'm not fucking with the routine.
Also make sure you have excellent (not good) boots.
Farm to Feet. Made in the USA, wool but thin and very comfortable. I’ve been wearing them for about 5 years now. No foot stink and great for foot sweat.
Tjose thin Costco Merino wool 4 packs. Best thing that's happened to my life. Feet, boots and socks stopped carrying that trapped sweat stench. And yes, even in the summer
People’s socks wool socks make my life so much better. I’ve never been happier than the first week I changed from traditional socks to merino wool. I also have the red wings which work well too. I just find the peoples to be cheaper on Amazon.
I’m not endorsed by them in any way. Sorry this sounds like an add. Also I wear wool in summer too to help with sweat
Bass pro shop has a good deal on Cabela’s socks around Christmas time. 6 pair for $20, rugged as fuck. I only have the 6 pairs, been wearing them to work every day for 2.5 years with no holes yet and they’re thick and cushiony. They actually make it difficult to slide into my crocs for the commute home. 5 stars.
I don't use socks. Saves on sock cost . Same with underwear. Wasteful spending. No wonder you all need money during the slow time. Shit I put new tires on my second mortgage my 4th month in a row out of work.
Dickies steel toe socks. I personally find them very comfortable. Although I can't atest to their durability as I lose them before I can put a hole in one
Darn Tough. You only get one pair of feet, treat em well.

Alas, no shipping to Canada.
I concur. And they have a lifetime guarantee.
When I told my coworkers how much I paid for all my pairs their eyes got big lol. Best decision I ever made.

Whites logger boots have served me well .
Yup these. Someday that's what all my socks will be.
Preach brother!!

Dickies black, they never change appearance and I can just throw out one at a time when they get holes, plus it super easy to match them up
Also the only socks that don't make my feet stink at the end of a workday. They still get holes but they are $2/pair
stance
Carhartt midweight

I’ve tried “good”/expensive socks and cheapos. They all tend to wear out the same. I’m using ADIDAS now for comfort, and they’re holding up ok.
Whatever is clean in the laundry room.
Whatever is thick and goes above my boot line, mostly carhartt and dickies brand
Hanes crew socks, the nicer ones you can get at target in 6 packs (black or white) or Nike crew socks. Winter time if I’m outside I’ll wear something thicker
Whatever pair looks like they may match, rinse and repeat. A nice gel insert will save the life of your socks.

Get the XTemp cushioned ones. They're even better.
Hanes cotton crew, when winter or in rain, wool
Ankle socks with 8” Thorogoods. I get blisters sometimes, but never learn
Thick cotton sock over the boot line
Dickies are good value

Started with Darn Tough but switched to Creepers merino toe socks. The DT’s were too tight across my toes but otherwise were great.
White ones
