Socks for wellington boots

Short answer: Wellingtons do not ventilate, so the foot gets wet from the inside. A sock that moves the moisture away from the skin and reaches above the edge of the shaft is the right one.

No ventilation

Rubber closes completely. All moisture stays in the boot, so the sock matters more here than in other shoes.

The length

The sock has to reach above the point where the shaft rubs. Otherwise a red mark appears on the calf. See bamboo socks for men.

Thickness

A thick sock takes up room and presses the foot. A medium sock with good moisture transport works better.

Change after use

Take the sock off and air the boot as soon as you come in. Otherwise it is damp next time.

For women

See the corresponding models in bamboo socks for women.

See the range

See the whole range in all bamboo socks for women.

Washing

40 degrees without fabric softener, which reduces moisture transport. See the washing guide.
