Are these thick enough for steel-toe boots?

They are midweight, so they add cushioning without crowding the toe box. If your boots fit snug, a thinner sock may be better.

Will cotton socks keep my feet dry at work?

Cotton breathes but absorbs sweat and dries slowly. For heavy sweating, a merino or synthetic blend handles moisture better.

Midweight boot socks are cut to sit above the boot line. How well they stay up depends on the boot shaft and your calf.

They are midweight, so they run warm in heat. They suit indoor work, mild weather and cooler months better.
