You've asked for them, we made them, our new warmer climate short ankle socks,  "Best Overall Short Sock", the BOSS

This sock has a great foot fit design with integraB.O.S.S. sockted arch support, terry loop cushioning through the footbed, flat toe seam, breathing toe box, ultra re-inforced on the heel and ball of the foot.  It is insulating, soft and durable,  wicking moisture away like nothing you’ve ever experienced. They are a little heavier and more cushioning than you would expect but truly maintain your body temp without trapping excess heat. 

Designed for a dry cool comfort in hot environments, with superior moisture regain properties, and exceptional air-flow almost double the wicking of fine wool. (keeps your feet dry and sweat free)

Exceptionally durable for outdoor activities, long distance running, eighteen holes, or just knocking around town in your sneakers. These socks are incredibly easy to care for and due to their antimicrobial properties, feel free to wear them a few times before washing. But when they do need to be cleaned, simply machine wash on the warm or cool setting, then toss them in the dryer.  

B.O.S.S Features: 

  • Targeted cushioning system
  • Volumetric compression - full foot compression supports you during and after intense activity.
  • Spandex arch support helps fight fatigue and keeps the sock in place
  • The vented panel provides breathability 
  • A smooth flat toe seam
  • Reinforced heel and toe wear zones
  • Bison logo on the toe
  • Yarn and knitting are made in the USA

Sock Sizing

Socks should fit as comfortably as any other garment. The heel should rest on your heel—not under it (as with a sock that’s too small) or halfway up your Achilles (as with a sock that’s too large). The sock should be snug against your foot with no sagging fabric. The toe seam should lie flat across the top of your toes.

Sock Heel at Your Heel
The heel of the sock should sit directly on your heel, not above or below it.

Flat Toe Seam
The toe seam should lay flat along the top of your toes, not above or below them.

Taut Across the Foot
Socks should fit snugly across your foot without any sagging material. If you wear wide shoes (E+), consider sizing up. If you wear a wide shoe size (E+), consider sizing up.

Care Instructions

Machine wash and dry

Once you are ready to clean your gear, follow a few simple steps to care for your favorite socks, beanie, and gloves.

How to Care for your favorite bison fiber gear

Material Composition

Here at The Buffalo Wool Co., our yarn bases for all our gear is (and will always be) natural fibers. This means that the internal structure of your socks (the parts that touch your skin) will be made from bison fiber, merino wool, mulberry silk, and other 100% natural fibers.

The overall composition (the parts that touch your skin plus everything else) will include other materials like nylon or polyester. This is done to make the sock more durable and ensure that your socks work (and play) as hard as you do.

Love the BOSS

BOSS socks have perfect padding, massaging as you walk. Combination of fibers are luxurious.

B. O. S. S. is the Bomb

The socks are incredibly comfortable. Very nice on the feet. Almost like walking on a pillow.

Great feeling socks that don't compress your feet

I have enjoyed staying the BOSS socks because they stay in place without using excessively tight compression around your foot.

B.O.S.S. Dyed Black!

I hit Ron with a request for a pair of B.O.S.S. Dyed Black just a couple days before he and the crew were set to leave for Alaska. He wasn’t even fazed!

He was able to dye them & ship them like he’s done this a time or two.

Socks are perfect!

Thank you to all the BWC Crew for making these wonderful, high quality items available to all of us.

I have 7 different BWC products I’m taking with me on my post-Labor Day trip through The Tetons, Yellowstone and surrounding areas. I’ll leave the other 4 products at home for a different occasion!

Awesome!

These ankle socks are the best I've ever worn! Snug, and don't slip. No sweating and no smell. Wore them for a week in Colorado, every day walking and hiking and I also wear them everyday at home. I will be purchasing more of these for myself and friends & family. Great product Ron & Theresa!
