Thorlos MCB Max Cushion Combat Over The Calf Socks

Bought these in boot camp at Parris island, imagine the shock of an 18 year old that socks could be $20 a pair! Almost 15 years later, I probably have bought $500 of these and have hiked tens of thousands of miles wearing combat boots and never had a blister that couldn’t be blamed on a new boot. They are thick, plush and make your boots feel a little bit small, but boy are they warm and dry, and for some reason I always have the urge to split wood or do some other type of manly woodsman activities when I wear them.Long love Thorlos, the greatest sock this Marine has worn.

It came time for me to get new socks as my old fox river ones starting to rip and tear after 7 years of constant use. I didn’t go directly box to fox river because even though their socks are great, they were always just a tad bit short me and would slide down my leg. I bought a single pair of socks from 3 different manufacturers both online and at the military clothing store and none really impressed me. I came across these socks but was put off by the price initially. After trying the other ones I bought a single pair of these just to see if they live up to their rating and price. I was immediately impressed with them, these are hands down the most comfortable socks i’ve ever worn for work (military). I wore the pair on and off for a couple weeks just to see how they held up and they didn’t show any signs of wear so I bought 4 more pairs. These make a pair of okayish combat boots feel instantly more comfortable. They are plenty long enough with ample room to come all the way up to the knee and haven’t once slipped down on me. If you can overcome the price scare, I can promise you these will become your favorite socks. I recommend 100%
