Sometimes a product idea just completely makes sense. We spent a lot of time experimenting and futzing with the base yarn for our B.O.S.S. Socks, trying to get something extremely lightweight, breathable, wicking, cushioning and durable. Getting the proper ratios of bison, wool, bamboo, to insulate, breathe and wick.. and the right amount of twist, not so tight it doesn't have "spring" not so lofty it doesn't wear properly. It took us more than a few attempts, and we missed the summer selling season last year, but our all-weather B.O.S.S. socks have been nothing short of a stellar smash. SO, we thought we would do the next logical thing and make a crew height version of this sock. (Mostly because short socks look kinda silly in dress loafers)
It is really the exact same ultra-tough design as our Casual Crew sock, just with a lighter, more breathable, softer fiber blend, they are extremely long-wearing and supportive but not restrictive.
A "true rib" jersey knit crew sock of the old-school variety, this sock has the great foot fit and stay of our technical socks. It is insulating, soft and durable, and wicks moisture away like nothing you’ve ever experienced.
Our newest lightweight sock, but designed for dry cool comfort in hot environments, with superior moisture regain properties, almost double the wicking of fine wool and bamboo is a naturally antibacterial, antifungal and odor resistant fiber (keeps your feet dry and sweat-free)
Exceptionally durable for outdoor activities or in your loafers on the way to work.
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 warm, then toss them in the dryer.
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.
