FACTORY SECONDS, may have cosmetic blemishes, will not effect performance or longevity.  These will not be in retail packaging.... just plain socks. 

 Only a few pair available this year, get them while you can. 

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

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

Exceptionally durable for outdoor activities, long distance running, hold up strong for 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. 

Fiber content; yarn blend used for socks (33% Bison, 33% Merino Wool, 33% Bamboo) the sock percentage is based on the weight of materials, 36% Nylon / 25% Bison  /  21% Bamboo /  13% Preshrunk Merino Wool / 3% Polyester and 2% Lycra spandex. 

  • 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
  • The Bison logo on the toe
  • Yarn and knitting are made in the USA

Sock Sizing

Socks should fit as well as any of your other garments. The heel should sit on your heel and not under it as in a sock too small, nor half way up your Achilles as in a sock that’s too large. Socks should be flush against your foot with no extra material sagging. The toe seam should lay flat across the top of the toes.

Sock Heel at Your Heel
The sock heel should sit on your heel, not under it or above it.

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

Taut Across the Foot
Socks should be taut across your foot with no sagging material. If you wear a wide shoe size (E+), consider sizing up.

Shoe Size US Men US Women
Small 3 – 6.5
Medium 7 – 9 7 – 10
Large 9.5 – 11.5 10.5 – 12.5
X-Large 12 – 14

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.

Yarn Base Composition

33% American bison down / 33% Merino wool / 33% Bamboo

Overall Composition

36% nylon / 25% American bison down / 21% bamboo / 13% merino wool / 3% polyester / 2% Lycra spandex

Great purchase

Warm and great fit

These seemed as good as any perfect pair of socks. I am happy that I tried seconds.

You won’t know they’re seconds

I’m very pleased with these seconds. I haven’t been able to detect the defect that marked them as “seconds”. I’ve worn them with my lace-up hiking boots and my flat soled weight-lifting slip-ons. They feel great in both styles of footwear and I don’t have to wash them after every single use.

BOSS on the job

Love my Boss Socks - the top shelf purchases and the seconds... (cant tell why they were seconds, perhaps a slightly different
but not bad fit? But I definitely appreciate having the extra pairs in my stash.)
These socks go with me wherever I travel, whatever the climate.
We all know they perform for warmth, but they also perform in the heat. They keep my feet dry, and comfy.
My BWC socks went with me to the Middle East this summer and I never had any problems with my feet.
They pack well and extended wear means I can pack lighter. They are easy to "sink wash" and dry quickly.
I also give these as gifts and the recipients are always happy. Thanks for continuing to provide such a great product.

Worth It

The only thing I have found that might make these (4 pairs of) B.O.S.S. socks "Seconds" would be the irregular sizing. Each pair is somewhat differently sized. That being said, although each pair of smalls is a different size, each pair of 2 socks is the same size, and the size range of all 4 pairs still fit, well enough. I was interested in trying the short socks and the discount given as Seconds made it worthwhile to do so.
