My Favourite Boot Socks

I've tried several makes, lengths and types of socks to wear in my boots and wellies.
I wear them for warmth, for cushioning and for a snug fit in the boot. I've had some highly technical ones which have to be worn on a particular foot and I've been disappointed, particularly with durability. Some expensive socks, went thin and then wore through at the heel after only a few wears and a couple of washes.

Last month, Webury sent me two pairs of their Countryman Long Wool Boot Socks to try (https://www.webury.com/products/the-countryman-long-wool-boot-sock) . Just holding them in your hands, you get an impression of how thick and squishy they are, and how comfortable they will be - they are 70% wool, 30% nylon.
They go on with ease and for my size (10) they are a perfect fit and the sock goes right up to the knee, so with a pair of hunting trousers on or even jeans, your feet and legs are cushioned and kept toasty-warm. In wear they give me a really snug fit in a pair of size 10.5 Le Chameau Verzion, keep me warm and comfortable even for a full 12 hours' of wear on a film shoot. Surprisingly, these socks don't get as sweaty in a rubber boot as others do, I think that is down to the high wool content, in fact after a full day's wear they are virtually bone dry.

I machine wash them on a wool cycle and they've neither lost their shape, or thickness and I'm really pleased with them. I'd recommend these boot socks to anyone.
