Socks for work shoes

Short answer: A safety shoe is dense and warm. The sock therefore has to move moisture quickly and be cushioned under the foot.

What is different about work shoes

A steel toe and dense upper mean almost no air gets through. The foot sweats more than in an ordinary shoe, and the moisture has no way out. The sock has to handle it.

The sock that works

Bamboo viscose takes the moisture from the skin and passes it on. Combined with a high cuff that protects against the shoe edge, that is the right combination. See bamboo socks for men.

The cushioning

A terry sole cushions against a hard insole and reduces tired feet over a twelve hour shift. See bamboo trainer socks for men and bamboo compression socks.
