Sock of the Month: November 2015
If you live in Montana, or the Northwest for that matter, you have inevitably had at least 3 discussions already today regarding "the weather." From the changing temperatures to the howling wind. From the rain (or lack of it) to the snow (and how it is still falling in June). No matter the conversation, weather has always dictated what footwear I choose. And my footwear has always determined the type of sock that I wear underneath.
Fall, although longer this year, is beginning to give way to cold nights and frosty windshields. Hunting season has also started and I am finding myself with many more excuses to wear boots rather than shoes (and on the rare occasion a pair of sandals). The FoxRiver Boot Sock is a great sock for this time of year and highlights November's Sock of the Month. It is a taller sock that fits great with my hunting boots, or any other type of boot, as the taller design prevents my boots from rubbing my leg raw. They are "thermal" socks so they are thicker and feel like a winter sock. However, rather then being thick all over, the top of the foot is normal thickness, allowing for better breathing and also helps me not have to loosen my boots to be comfortable either. My feet definitely feel warm but it doesn't feel like I'm wearing two pairs of socks either, which is nice if you are wearing them at the job site or out hunting for elk.
These are a comfy pair of socks that are meant to keep your feet warm when doing anything outside. I have worn them a few times to the office and my feet don't get too hot, but unless I am wearing boots in the office it seems like a lot more sock then I need. The stitching has been holding up well despite regular wear and constant washing and drying cycles.
There are certainly socks with more features and tighter weaves, but if you are looking for a great pair of affordable socks that can be worn with your boots 6 months out of the year, then look no further. FoxRiver has you covered this year. That is until the next weather system moves in. 60 degrees in January? Who says that doesn't make for great conversation.
