REALLY stupid question....socks with boots

[Hockey9019]

For the regular duty boot, what kind of socks do you wear? Ankle or the longer tube kind?

[noelchabanel]

Umm, wouldn't it tend to give you blisters to wear short socks with boots? Since you're probably going to be on an ambulance any day now when you ace the scam...I mean registry..., I will suggest that I always wear crew socks. The more skin that is covered with something the less likely you are to get something nasty on you.

I wear those thick gray tube socks that come 10 to a pack from WalMart. I think that wearing ankle socks and boots would lead to blisters.

These in summer, wool hiking socks with the cushioned insole in winter. ;)

I'm not sure if those are the socks offered through our uniform allowence provider or not.

What ever brand they are that's what I use. They're a unisex boot sock :rolleyes:

A sock made for either sex ;)

Wait does that mean they're BI-Sexual socks? :eek: :D

Long socks are it ;)


I took out the insoles because it made my feet felt extremely cramped. Its just the insoles. They are Rocky's...

They get the job done...Magnums, the zipper kept breaking...oh well its all good

I always wear the long tube kind as well...otherwise, blisters pop up like hell. :(

I went to FootLocker, and bought a couple pairs (10) of Soccer socks (up past knee), then I fold them over and it provides more padding on the ankle, which you may need.....uh, I mean??? :D

I wear crew length black boot socks. I can't remember who makes them, but they are thicker all along the bottom of the foot. Mom bought them for me from a uniform store when I got hired. I have purchased some since, but I didn't see them avaialble online just now when I looked.

I never found any advantage to wearing boots at work. I got some when I first came on because everyone else did. But after about a year, I chucked them and got shoes. They were more comfortable and lighter, making it easier to do a foot chase. I could do anything in shoes that others did in boots.

Wear the high socks, 3/4 calf or knee high kind. It keeps the boots from chafing or your socks from sliding down into your boots and if you wear BDU pants it keeps it dark colored so when you sit down you don't have white ankle (or whatever color your shins are) skin showing.
