Light Cushion Over-Calf Western Boot Socks

Pull your boots on and quit thinking about your feet. These over-calf socks stay put instead of working their way down into the boot. The padding is built for riding and work, with extra cushioning at the heel where a western boot rubs hardest.

THOR-LON fibers keep their softness and resilience through repeated washing, and THOR-WICK COOL polyester moves moisture away from the skin so your feet come out drier. The light cushion through the instep and arch holds the fit snug without pressing, which means a long day on your feet feels more like a long day in good boots.

• Extra padding at the heel where a western boot rubs

Why an over-calf sock for western boots

A sock that slides down inside a western boot can bunch under the foot, which causes rubbing and hot spots. An over-calf height keeps the sock in place above the boot top, so the padding stays where you put it all day.

These socks suit the rider who spends hours in the saddle, the rancher and horse owner who works in boots from dawn to dusk, and the rodeo fan who stands on the grandstand for a long afternoon. They are a good choice for anyone who wants a sock built for western boots, not a general sock that happens to fit.

How to wear them

Pull the socks up over the calf before you put on your boots, and smooth out any wrinkles at the heel and the toe. The socks should sit flat with the padding in place. Check that the heel pad lines up with your heel before you walk.

Choose the size that matches your shoe size on the size chart, and wear the socks on their own or with a thin liner if you like extra room. A sock that fits well stays up and keeps your foot cushioned without pinching.

Good to know

• Wear them with your western boots for riding and for work. The tall height keeps them clear of the boot top, and the light cushion keeps the fit close for boots you want to feel snug.
• Keep a second pair in the truck so a wet pair never decides how long your day runs. Rotate pairs so each one gets a full day to dry out.
• Wash them inside out in cold water and hang them to dry, away from direct heat. Heat can shrink the elastic and shorten the life of the padding.
• Replace them when the cuff stretches out and stops staying up, or when the padding flattens and no longer cushions the heel.
