Welly boot socks

[ganstey]

Hi all,

It's been a long, long time since I've been on here, so apologies if this has been answered somewhere - I did a search but couldn't find anything relevant.

I need a pair of hard-wearing socks for use inside a pair of cheap wellies. I currently have a pair of sailor's boot socks, but the heels wore out after a few days use. I'm guessing that the more technical socks will be harder wearing, but they all seem to be calf-height, whereas I need knee-height ones, especially as I have fat legs. I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. I need to wear wellies rather than lace-up boots as I need them tall enough for wading through mud on a farm, and also need to be able to slip them on and off quickly when going into and out of an office building.

Cheers

Cheers guys! Ordered. Will see how they survive, but at that price they're not much more expensive than normal socks.

You could try a pair of insoles if your boots a chewing up socks ?

I had the same problem with socks not lasting in wellies for years while on site. I always wore two pairs of socks; normal and thick pair on top. I ended up just putting a bit of brown parcel tape on the heal of the thick sock and if it came off at the end of the day, replaced it the following morning.
