I recently ditched the crew socks for summer and went to the ankle length ones.
I have trouble with sweaty feet and like vented socks but all the ones I have tried wear through about as fast as a drill sergeant's patience.
So I'm asking you guys, what do you wear in the summertime especially in an unairconditioned shop?
Bare feet in sandals or loose shoes with comfortable liners - NO socks atall when NOT in the shop. Feet don't sweat nor get hot when there's plenty of air.
Learnt in 'nam that boot socks are
meant to be expendable. CE or leg Infantry "primary armament"
Mark One Feet, not so much!
Pay the money. March on, regardless!
"Diabetic socks" with LOOSE Steel Toads for shop and similar.
Close-fitted footwear FEELS good, but will make a wooden cigar-store injun statue's feet sweat like a waterfall.
I ain't Diabetic, but the socks made for those who are surely grip easier on the "antique" legs as to managing perspiration and NOT cutting-off circulation nor "die forming" their patterns into the legs.
US Made. 3 bags of a dozen pair, each, ever' now and then, online. "issued out" to the drawer a dozen at a go. ONE wears it gets pitched. Get low, the leftovers tossed out as well, next dozen loaded.
Cheap enough in bulk buy, all identical, no colour nor "pair" nor even wear matching to do. Saves hassle, laundry time and such.
I had Chinese-made Diabetic socks a few years ago I actually liked better. I just don't buy 'nuthin' from China no more.
At all.
Wintertime? GI cushion-sole "boot sock" style. Wool, of course.
