Thorlos...padded at the heel, ball of the foot, and instep. They also come in black with white toes...expensive, but very worth it. You may need to buy shoe, after you buy the socks to allow for the sock's upsizing your foot."You're never fully dressed without a smile."
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
Three things I know for sure: (1) No bad deed goes unrewarded, (2) No good deed goes unpunished, and (3) It is entirely possible to push the most devoted, loyal and caring person beyond the point where they no longer give a 5h!t.

The 150 dollar kind.
Bates, Danners, matahorns or 5.11. I am not picky as long as they have gortex and dont weigh 10 pounds.
I am a bit partial to the Bates 8". they run about 130 plus shipping. the danners can run upto 240. they are a bit heavy for me. the bates are more athletic. I bought a pair of matahorns in 1994 and have re soled them 3 time for the military and now I cant wear them anymore. They are heavy because of the frankenstien soles. I am buying a pair of 5.11's when i get back to the states. Ill try thm for a year and if I dont like them ill go back to the bates.It takes a Wolf.......

Irishluck, I think you'll like the 5.11's. I bought my first pair last year and will be sticking with the brand. They are very comfortable, wear well, and easy to care for. Plus, they tend to run a bit cheaper than the good Bates.Originally posted by kontemplerandeWithout Germany, you would not have won World War 2.

Black socks make your feet stink...but my boots are too wide for my feet, so I wear two pair..the bottoms ones are white and the second pair are black.
You know, I assumed (wrongly, obviously) that most PDs supplied everything. the only thing I'm responsible for are my underclothes...the PD supplies boots and everything else. As I read these various threads I see that many of you have to buy an aweful lot of thing...some even have to purchase their firearms...ours supplies everything right down to the keepers for your belt.sigpic
I don't agree with your opinion, but I respect its straightforwardness in terms of wrongness.

Walmart cotton crew socks work fine for me. Its the boot that is important. I get a 150 dollar allowance per year and spend every cent.

When all else fails, try eBay! I buy "health socks" that average to just over $3 a pair, with free shipping.

A couple of the guys on our team swear by the 5.11's for the comfort. It seems like they are a loud boot in an empty school hallway. Its like the soles are harder. Also thought abou the Okley boots, but i have heard storys about their slip resistant soles being not so slip resistant on wet concrete.
Smurfette, I would appreciate you leaving your funky trench foot out of the conversation. Nothing worse than post work household biologicial contamination.It takes a Wolf.......
