- Are these socks good for work boots?
- Yes. The cushioned footbed and reinforced heel and toe handle the friction and pressure of boots well. The cotton is breathable, but it holds sweat more than wool or synthetic work socks.
- How many pairs come in the pack?
- Ten pairs, all in solid blue. That is enough to rotate through a work week and still have spares in the wash.
- Can I machine wash and dry them?
- Machine wash at 30 degrees as labeled. Skip hot water and high dryer heat, which shrink cotton and wear out elastic faster.
- Do they fit wide feet?
- The cotton knit has some stretch, but the cushioning makes them a bit thicker. Men with wide feet may want to size up if shoes fit snugly.
- Are they athletic socks?
- No. They are everyday crew socks. For running or gym sessions, a synthetic or wool sock wicks moisture better.
- Will the blue color fade?
- Solid dyed cotton can fade over many washes, especially in hot water. Cold washing and air drying keep the color longer.
- Where is the Blue Mountain Cushioned Crew Socks cheapest?
- At Tractor Supply Co, for $10.49, as of our latest check.
