All American made, and with all American components.
I am not going to be modest, we have made a few pretty impressive socks... from our extra heavyweight Trekker bison/merino crew and boot, our ultra-light warm and wicking Pro-gear bison/silk socks, our All-Weather all-around best short sock, The B.O.S.S. The stories and reviews you all have shared about these seem to support me. I will confidently put any one of our collection up against any sock made for warmth, wicking, durability, flexibility, and sheer overall comfort.
Seriously warm-Surprisingly soft, Ultralight & "Almost Bulletproof****", this is our premier bison down sock. a calf high sock, great for almost any footwear from tennis and hiking chukka's and taller boots, medium thick, extremely soft, and well built. Will keep your feet warm and dry all year long. Ultra-soft bison fiber that has been properly processed, no prickly itch from these socks. Warmer and more cushioning than our Pro-gear socks, thinner and lighter than our Advantage Trekker Socks. We wanted to make a sock that was even more amazing at regulating temperature, wicking moisture, providing support, even lighter, and just as tough. Working with the fiber from the beginning and maintaining control over all the processing steps along the way, from the scouring and dehairing the fiber, working directly with the spinning mill to determine the perfect amount of twist and loft in the yarn.
This sock has a terry loop padded footbed, and gentle ribbed construction all the way up the calf, with a terry loop shin pad, and unmatched warmth and wicking, the outer layer of the sock has a heavy nylon thread held with the bison yarn to give it superior durability, with just enough spandex to hold it above your 12" boot top...but not enough to cut down circulation, Nylon over-plaited through the entire sock, with a triple layer in the toe and way up past the heel for long smooth wear, we realize these are probably the most expensive socks you will ever see, so we built them to last, I know if I paid $54 for a pair of socks, I would expect them to not only perform like professional quality gear, it should last like good gear.
- Terry loop with extra padding in the footbed
- Nylon Over-plaited through the entire sock
- Triple-Reinforced toe & heel
- Flat seam toe
- Boot sock, 12 inches from heel
- Bison logo on the toe

- *****PLEASE NOTE- THESE ARE NOT ACTUALLY BULLETPROOF, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TEST THAT AT HOME, they will, however, provide adequate protection against Legos and chilly tile floors.
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.
