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 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, 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 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
  • 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.

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.

Literally the only socks I’ll own now

These socks are great in any weather- hot, cold, dry, wet. I’ve had five pairs that I wore to work and to work out after, washed all of them every weekend, going on a year straight, and they’ve really only lost some cushion in the heel. That’s 10-12 hour days on my feet, then another two or so at the gym.
I finally bought some more just to have some backup pairs, that I can rotate in on weekends. (I forgot to mention I stopped wearing any other socks, and so at some point two of the five pairs were randomly getting an extra two days of duty) .
Cannot recommend these socks enough. Have been slowly converting my friends and coworkers…

Great Sock!

I received one pair as a gift and I decided I
Needed another pair. I am alternating treating myself to the Boss and the boot sock. I am
Now at 4 pairs so as my brother would say I have started my collection. Soft, warm and no sweating!

Comfort

Comfortable while keeping moisture away from your feet during high activity.

Best socks. Ever.

I purchased some boot socks for a trip to Iceland in February. These were the absolute best socks I’ve ever had for being out in the cold. I just had my snow boots and my buffalo wool socks on. Out in the cold air walking for hours and boating on the ocean and my feet did not show a hint of cold!! That’s saying a lot because I have a wide foot and frequently have difficulty with socks being warm enough because I can’t layer them. Turns out I didn’t need to!! I just ordered the BOSS socks for summer hiking and they are equally comfortable
I have a wide size 8 1/2 foot and medium fits perfectly.
They are a well worth the cost and I will order more. LOVE these socks!!

Dry Socks

My socks are comfortable and easy to.wash. I hike 14 miles every few days and my feet are happy.

Wool Socks

I really can't say enough about how great their socks are. Amazon quality and extremely warm no matter what size you're looking for.

Comfortable and they don’t slip down and still keeps the toes warm. But

Love the fit. They don’t slip off your calf and stay put even through hiking. The foot is well padded and keeps your toes warm dry and padded.

Might end up with a drawer full

There socks are warm without being sweaty, and super comfortable. Probably going to slowly replace all my other merino wool socks with bison down as they wear out.
