* All measurements are in inches. Measure bare foot from heel to longest toe.
* Sock fit works with low‑cut, crew, mid‑calf and over‑the‑cuff styles.
* If between shoe sizes, choose the larger sock size for better comfort with thick boots.
* Merino wool will stretch with wear; compression varies by cushion weight: light, mid, heavy cushion.
A lightweight work sock, designed to fit best with rubber boots, was on our list for several seasons - but it wasn't until we started working with Alaska's Salmon Sisters, their family and crews, that we had a stacked deck to work with. Pulling long stretches on their commercial fishing boats, the cushion underfoot gave welcome relief, while mesh windows on the foot and leg helped everything breathe. Features an extended protective toe box for impact protection, and our durable, performance fit eliminates the soul-crushing sock slip in a tall boot. We couldn't ask for better testing, they said they couldn't ask for a better sock.
Machine wash in cold water on gentle cycle with socks inside-out. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not dry clean. You can learn more about how to wash merino wool socks here.
