Can’t recommend these enough.
Not the cheapest, but long lasting and comfortable

They are tough , but tend to go hard and thin reasonably soon . Always buy Wool like these though its the best as so long as you dont take wool off when wet they will still insulate well

Sorry you had a bad experience with these socks.
I’ve had mine a year and not had these issues !!
No hardness or thining and very comfortable and the reason I bought 2 further pairs at the show today.

Dont get me wrong they are good otherwise its just wash after wash that kills them offSorry you had a bad experience with these socks.

Yes, they're socks.FFS
Look at the most recommended socks on this site: Darn Tough. Crap name, but very good. Also quite expensive. Why are they the most recommended? Well, apart from being very comfortable and foot health friendly, they have a lifetime warranty. If they wear out, you just send them back and get another pair FOC.
Do these socks recommended by the OP have a similar warranty? That's what I wanted to know.
Yes, listed under Health & Safety, as protective clothing. I wouldn't get very far trying to do a day's work in bare feet.You can be assured they will be listed in his clothing allowance to hmrc.
No. I'm an East Anglian who emigrated.

These socks were basically what was MoD issued before they were changed to black across all three services.
They’re OK, but there is better. High Merino content is best. Costco trail socks take some beating and don’t cost the earth. That said, socks are a very personal thing.

Test them on a ten day walking hunt for Thar in NZ, that will tell the truth good or bad.
+1 for these. I still have a pair which are going strong that I had in the cadet force at school, so about 35+ years old

I was given some pairs of Finisterre socks. They are really good - pretty much pure wool. You can wear them for a few days without getting smelly, and last a long time. Only downside is they do need gentle washing and are quite expensive, but cry once buy once.
