    We talked about boots alot how about socks.

    what is good pair work socks?
    I find the 5.11 Tactical 6 Inch white Crew Socks Level 1 - COOLMAX. There great they breath well and had good padding for soles my feet plus seem be form fitting so don't get the roll ups in ball of your foot.

    Maybe it's just me, but socks are socks... I don't need high-tech socks.

            I think that only the military really cares as you need lightweight breathable socks in the jungle to help stop Jungle rot and heavy warm ones in the mountain divisions . DOH! sorry that was not much help was it?

                I wear the standard black calf high sock. Beyond that, nothing special....

                  Wow, I use just regular ole socks... black while in uniform of course. I don't think a s/o needs any kind of special sock unless theres a foot problem and the Doctor recommends it.



                  lol, what kind of socks do you wear?

                        5.11 6" Level ll socks. Expensive so I only have a couple pair, but I really can notice the difference compared to when I just wear my regular socks. Its significant.

                          Holeproof Explorers

                          Like Maelstrom I still swear by these abut I also got some socks sent to me in the USA when I was working there from Hi-Tec. They were good but wore out pretty fast. I think if you find a good brand or wear 2 pairs stick with what works best for you. Some added inner soles can help and I whilst the uniform days are far gone, I still wear my Magnums with the Explorers - can last 16 hours on a bad day.
