Dickies Dri-Tech Max Cushion Crew Socks vs Hanes X-Temp Cushioned Crew Socks

Buy the Dickies 6-pack if you want the thicker, more supportive work sock: its max cushioning, arch compression and mesh venting suit boots and long shifts, and 4.7 stars from 1,806 ratings backs that up. Buy the Hanes 12-pack if you want more pairs per pack and lighter, temperature-adapting socks for everyday wear. The Hanes is the thinner sock with a lower 4.4 rating from 9,518 ratings; owners like its odor control and value, but it offers less padding underfoot.

• Choose the Dickies Max Cushion if you stand or walk all day in boots and want heavy cushioning, arch support and a sock that holds its shape.
• Choose the Hanes X-Temp 12-pack if you want a lighter crew sock for daily wear and more pairs to rotate through the week.
