Moderate Cushion Over-Calf Western Boot Socks

Some boots fit fine everywhere but the heel, and by mid-afternoon you feel it. These over-calf socks are made for western boots: moderate cushioning through the foot, extended padding at the heel where a western boot works hardest, and a cushioned instep and arch for a closer, steadier fit.

THOR-LON fibers stay soft and hold up wash after wash, and they move moisture away from the foot so you feel drier at the end of a long day. A spandex cuff keeps the sock up around the calf, and the low profile toe seam lies flat so nothing rubs.

Highlights

• Extended heel padding where western boots work hardest
• Cushioned instep and arch for a closer fit
• THOR-LON fibers that wick moisture and keep their softness
• Spandex cuff that stays up all day
• Low profile toe seam that lies flat

Why a cushioned western boot sock

A western boot has a slim heel and a tall shaft, and that combination can rub at the heel on a long ride or a full day on your feet. Extra cushion at the heel and through the arch takes the pressure off the spots that tire first.

Over-calf height matches a boot top, so the sock stays put and does not bunch under the foot. Moderate cushion is the middle choice: enough padding to notice, but not so thick that it crowds the boot.

How to use it

Pull the sock up over the calf before you pull on your boots, and smooth the foot so there are no wrinkles at the heel or toe. Adjust the cuff at the top so it sits flat.

Wear them in your boots for a day or two to see how they fit. Moderate cushion takes up a little room, so try them with the boots on before you judge the fit.

Good to know

Pairing: Wear them with western boots for a long day in the saddle or in the stands, and they work just as well in work boots on hard concrete. Keep a spare pair in the truck so a wet morning does not end in wet feet.

Fit: Moderate cushion adds a little bulk. If your boots fit snug in thin socks, try them on with these before you decide the boot is too small. Pick the size that matches your shoe size on the size chart.

Care: Turn the socks inside out and wash them in cool water, then hang them to dry. Avoid high heat, which can shrink the cuff and reduce the stretch. Replace a pair when the cushion flattens or the cuff stops holding up.
