Gotta love manual labour. One of the things you don’t realise until you do it is just how much you end up spending on socks - this shit is incredibly hard on your feet and what you wear on them.
I spent slightly more than I usually do for some copper threaded compression socks.
I don’t give a damn about the pseudoscience bull about copper relieving pain; but I figured it’s stronger than cotton and it hasn’t let me down in the wear and tear department.
Yep. It’s been years, but I remember seeing ads for and being sold on store shelves these copper bracelets that were like those medical alert bracelets, but copper, as well as copper threaded compression socks both being advertised as relieving pain, curing sickness, removing toxins from the body, and all that other snake-oily bull that’s been perpetuated about copper since mankind has been using the metal.
Hell, the socks I own aren’t even sold in the normal clothing section; they’re in the pharmacy with the back braces and splints and such.
Wool socks. They’re worth it. Keep your feet feeling dry (even when they are literally soaked). Fewer blisters if your feet do get wet. My feet are warmer in winter and cooler in summer with wool. They seem to last much longer and wear better too. My older wool socks have just worn to confirm better to the shape of my feet.
I will NEVER wear cotton socks to work outside again.

Get “darn toughs” - expensive but warrenty for life.

Try Darn Tough socks, they have a lifetime guarantee.
If your socks ever wear out you can send them back and they will replace them for free, no receipt or anything else needed.
The extra initial cost has been worth it for me
100% worth it. I got my first pair 3 years ago and only just wore a hole in them. Gonna send them in for my new pair soon.
Relieving pain? 🤔 I would have expected the marketing to be about the anti microbial properties…

Yeah I assume compression socks would be there. They’re useful for people with circulation problems
