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 integra
ted 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 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.

Amazing sock from fit to finish.

The BOSS is the most comfortable and durable socks that I had ever owned. Well worth the extra $$

The B.O.S.S. - Ultralight Gear Bison/Wool/Bamboo Short Sock
B
Easily the best sock I have ever worn. I wear the B.O.S.S. (Best Outstanding Super Sock) daily. Do yourself a favor and try a pair
D
Got these socks for summer wear. Wound up using these socks to replace a drawer full of nasty ol’ running socks too.
R
The BOSS socks fit the bill for what I wanted in a low cut sock. When road or mild trail running my feet don't get as sweaty as when I wear the technical socks from other brands with the high synthetic content. Great job BWC!
J
Bison Robe,socks,V Neck gloves,going to order a comforter next . The Robe is my favorite item so far but it's all good and worth the price . Don't hesitate you won't regret anything Bison . Joe

Every day year round I spend in cowboy boots and by the end of the day my socks are soaked. Use foot powder and different specialty socks to stop it. After day one with BWC socks I was super impressed. Even in 90 degree weather. Took my boots and socks off and feet were dry. Plus they are super comfortable on my feet. Just ordered 6 more pair.
