Tradie Socks

Tradie socks are work socks made for long days on your feet in steel caps or safety boots. They have to cope with sweat, a hard floor and a boot rubbing at the heel and toe. Ours are Crew, knitted from COOLMAX yarn that pulls the sweat off your skin.

Steel cap boots need a sock that dries fast and has a seamless toe. A toe seam is the ridge the cap presses into. On concrete you want cushioning under the foot, plus a reinforced toe for the wear from the cap. DryStep socks have all four and are as thick as a gym sock.

Those are the two places your foot rubs against the boot. Your heel lifts and drops with every step, while your toes push into the front of the boot when you crouch or climb. Keeping your toenails trimmed stops them wearing through the toe from the inside. We reinforce both spots on every sock we make.

Start each day in a fresh pair and give your boots a night to dry out. In a warm, closed boot, bacteria feed on your sweat and give off the smell. The silver yarn in our footbeds kills them in the sock. Overnight, a pouch of our shoe deodorisers in each boot soaks up the moisture your feet left behind.
