I got someone of the worst blisters in my life and decided to invest in these bad boys and my blisters healed and I was no longer in excruciating pain! I love it! The orange fuzzies were a bit annoying for the first few wears but not really a problem

I actually bought these socks by mistake because I was looking for something else. These turned out to be better than I expected, however the washing instructions are highly restrictive (wash cold, dry low). The size range is very extreme (shoe size 6 to 12 - Ha, REALLY!). I wear a shoe size 10 and am used to buying socks that fit size 9 to 11. Consequently, these are too large. But I discovered a work-around. I washed them in warm water and medium dry temperature. Now, they fit just right. If you have small feet, you may want to try hot wash and hot dry. The most important feature: they keep my feet warm and dry.

These socks are extremely comfortable and I wear them all year long. The socks seem to add a lot of cushion in my boots and since that's all I ever wear and have bad knees, that's a big deal for me. My feet don't get hot spots in the warmer weather like traditional white cotton socks do and my feet stay warm in colder weather. I'm a fishing guide and went out last week and it was 21 degrees when I launched. my feet stayed warm all day. It was 65 here yesterday and i ran a chain saw all day and my feet never got hot so for a ALL YEAR sock. These are the ones.

These are costly but great for working on your feet all day in heavy work boots. They seem to hold up really well too. I tried to get my son to hang his to dry as they will last longer than if you put them in the dryer. But, he uses the dryer anyway and they are holding up fine anyway.

He has not complained about anything with them in terms of moisture or cushioning. He wears them every day to work even though he has other socks he could wear. They are thick and help fill out and cushion his feet in his big work boots.

I will say that he is slender and tall but still finds they leave a bit of an indentation in his leg at the top few inches of the sock. They do stay up very well, but it would be great if they were not quite as snug on top. I don't know how people who are not so slender can wear them. My son doesn't mind, but it would bother me.

Due to the durability, cushioning, and his preference for them, I feel they deserve 5 stars and were worth the price we paid. I do think they'd last even longer if they were hung to dry. They are only damp when they come out of the washer so they are dry by morning if he washes at night and hangs them over the shower rod. But, he puts them in the dryer.

These socks are the best I've found for boots. Carhartt nailed it with this fabric blend and sock height. I'm speaking specifically for the brown/orange color sock. When these were sold on Carhartt's website (they've since been discontinued unfortunately) the other colors varied slightly in material blend and possibly fit/height.

The socks stay up all day over my calf. They somehow are not too hot in the summer but give some warmth in the winter. After 18 months of owning a couple pairs, wearing them 2-3 times per week, washing, and repeating, they hold up like the day they came out of the package.

The material is a little "slippery" right out of the box. After a couple washes they break right in.

Grab these socks while you can. I don't know why Carhartt discontinued the model--bad decision on their part. I've yet to find a comparable sock in another brand.

I use the socks in all sort of environments; office, outdoors, sweating, freezing, heavy labor, sitting on my duff, and everything in between.
