Can anyone recommend some over the calf socks to wear with boots that won't fall down after 5 minutes of walking?

Redwing brand bought at a Redwing store. Expensive but they have worked fine for me and they last a long time.

Check out Kennetrek socks. I have had very good luck with them.

I'm hooked on smartwool. Find the nearest gander mountain - they usually have a selection.

If you roll the socks down over the top of your boots they'll stay up.


If you're not living on the edge you're taking up too much room

I guess I should have specified cowboy boots - I don't think I can roll my socks over top of them.

Try the Redhead Lifetime Warranty socks at Bass Pro. They stay up really well for me and if they get stretched out and won't stay up, take them back and get a new pair. They are $9.99 a pair in Georgia. That is all I wear with my boots and they have different weights to choose from.

Your sure they fit right and your feet aren't' slipping in those boots pulling your socks down?

Had socks that would do that but not many.

All I wear are pull-on boots. And I've got birdlegs. The best for staying up, are the thorlo's and (surprise) those cheap military over-the-calf socks from sporstsmans guide........

Darn Tough ain't cheap, but work


Most people don't really want the truth.

They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
