Darntough or Bridgedale.
Neither are cheap, but Bridgedales can sometimes be found in TKMaxx with decent discounts.
If working in wet or damp condition Sealskinz.1 -
Usually you are wearing work boots for long periods and quite often on cold surfaces.
I would always go for a two layer approach, thin inner layer of wool blend, minimum 55% wool and a outer layer of more traditional "worksock".
With two layer it is easier to keep your feet drier I find.
I prefer M&S for inner layer thin wool socks and TK Maxx for worksock type style.
It is also a good idea to have charcoal type insoles which you change twice a year.
Can seem like quite a expense, but if your feet are warm and dry it makes a big difference to your comfort, and wards off colds and chills in the winter that can cost you lost days off, which is more costly.0
