Was looking for good socks for work. As the ones I’ve been buying and wearing always slipping down. So annoying!

After putting up with squeaky leather boots for months
After putting up with squeaky leather boots for months, my research suggested wearing socks that are moisture absorbent. Since wearing Drysteps the squeaking has stopped.
On the odd day a different type of sock is worn, because the Drysteps are in the wash) the squeak returns.
A great solution to an annoying problem.
No more squeaky boots!

Next level socks!
I’ve gone though a lot of brands of socks over my time in the construction industry but nothing compares to Dry Step. Perfect for both inside and outside the construction site. There’s no going back! I highly recommend.

Best socks I have ever worn. No BS.
G'day everyone.
I am a gardener/ landscaper who wears work boots 6 days a week.
I purchased 5 pairs of QD socks in July, I had also bought new socks in April of another brand. Which were $15 a pair, in 5 months they are on the way out. The QD may not be as old but they have not stretched, still as soft as the first day I put on, I will be buying another 5 pairs to replace the sh't ones.
Thank you Matt and Dan for a great product.

Really well-thought-out construction, with extra support where it matters
I bought these specifically to use for my running commutes and heavy 8 hour kitchen shifts without changing socks, so durability is the big test for me. The construction seems very durable, especially with reinforced areas where they’re needed. Really comfortable socks with thick cushioning underneath yet a breathable upper, and the fabric has an interesting feel underfoot; it almost feels like you’re stepping on a fine mesh. They wick moisture quickly and keep my feet dry, even on a long run. The odour resistance is good but not magic; if your feet smell, they’ll still smell, but it definitely slows down odour by a lot and helps mask it. Much better than cotton. Does exactly what it’s advertised to do, one of a kind and definitely worth trying.

charcoal freshener for ankle brace
Our son injured his ankle and needs to wear an ankle brace all day to support his foot. Unfortunately, the brace gets quite warm and sweaty after wearing it all day, which can make it a little uncomfortable.
We simply put two charcoal fresheners inside the brace overnight, and what a difference! They absorb the moisture and remove the odour, leaving the brace fresh and ready to use again the next day.
Such a simple little solution, but it works brilliantly! 😊

Johan, running commutes followed by eight-hour kitchen shifts is about as demanding as it gets, so thanks for such a thorough review. You're spot on about odour too: the silver yarn slows it down a lot, but no sock is magic, and we appreciate you saying it straight.
Cheers, Dan & Matt - DryStep.

Only day 3. Love short sports sock. Positive on the business socks. Maybe a little tighter than expected around the top band, which was a primary driver on trying a new product.
Scott, thanks for the early feedback, and good to hear the short sports socks are a hit. Fit around the top band matters, so we'd like to hear how it settles in after a few more wears and washes. If it's still feeling tight, flick us an email at info@drystep.com.au and we'll help find the right fit.
Cheers, Dan & Matt - DryStep.

I ordered 8 pairs of socks and I've been happy with the comfort and anti-sweat qualities of the socks. One pair did arrive with a hole in the upper foot area of the socks. Dan from Dry Step reached out to me to arrange a replacement pair.
Overall I'm pretty happy with the quality and after initially raising the issue about one pair that had a hole I'm pleased that Dan took the time to respond to me and resolve my issue.
Would recommend to others based on my experience this evening!
Hi there, thank you for sharing your positive experience with our socks and for acknowledging Dan's support. We're glad you're happy with the overall quality and appreciate your recommendation. If you need anything else, feel free to reach out! Cheers, Matt
Frequently asked questions
What are DryStep socks made from?
DrySteps are made from a high-performance blend:
85% recycled Coolmax®, 10% silver antibacterial fibres, and 5% elastane.
This trio delivers elite sweat-wicking, odour control, and all-day comfort — with durability that lasts. We tested cotton, wool, and bamboo. Coolmax® beat them all — especially in hot, humid Aussie conditions.
Silver fights odour at the source. Elastane locks in a stay-up fit that holds shape wash after wash.
Do they stay up or slide down?
DrySteps are engineered with a soft-yet-secure stay-up cuff that keeps your socks in place all day — no constant pulling, no bunching. Whether you're in meetings, walking, or training, they stay put without digging into your skin.
How thick are DrySteps? Will they fit in my shoes?
DrySteps are made with 2-ply yarn, giving them a slightly thicker feel than standard dress socks — and even some fitness socks, but they’re slim enough to fit comfortably in dress shoes/boots, casual shoes, or trainers. They provide all-day comfort without feeling bulky — the perfect balance between performance and versatility.
How long are DryStep's crew socks
Our crew socks measure 23cm from heel to cuff, landing just below the calf on most wearers. They’re tall enough for business wear but low enough to avoid the bunching or restriction of traditional long crew socks. If you prefer a lower fit, check out our mid-crew sock.
Can I war them to the gym or for workouts?
Absolutely. DrySteps are made to move — they wick sweat, fight odour, and offer cushioned support that performs under pressure. Whether you're lifting weights, going for a walk, or squeezing in some exercise after work, DrySteps can handle it without needing to change socks.
How are DrySteps better than cotton or wool blend socks?
Cotton absorbs sweat and stays damp. Wool is better, but can feel hot or bulky. DrySteps use a high-performance fabric blend that wicks away moisture, dries faster, and resists odour — all while looking sharp and staying comfortable. You’ll feel the difference from the first wear.
Will they feel tight around my ankles?
No — they’re designed to stay up without squeezing. The cuff has enough structure to hold its position without cutting off circulation or leaving marks.
What if I don't like them?
No stress — our First Pair Guarantee means you can try one worn pair risk-free. If you're not happy, we'll refund you.
If you’ve purchased a multi-pack, you’re still welcome to return any unworn pairs for a refund. For hygiene reasons, we can’t accept returns on pairs that have been worn, but trying one before committing is exactly what the guarantee is for.
