La Chaussette Longue

I was suffering coworkers were suffering my wife was suffering all from STINK FOOT.

I used to wear those socks you buy in bulk from Costco on sale. The sweat and stinky from wearing them inside a safety shoe all day was lethal. No amount of foot anti persperint (Dr Schoels) could stop the evil STINK FOOT.

UNTIL....your socks my feet dry and no more STINK FOOT.

Don't get me wrong I love parmesean cheese on my pasta but NOT from my socks and feet.

Like my father said to me "Son you need the right tool for the job and don't cheap out trying use a substitute the will suffer and so will you" .

I've been on the hunt for the perfect everyday crew sock for years. I really wanted these to be the ones, but they are not quite there. Make no mistake: these socks feel high quality and are incredibly comfortable. The toe box in particular is absolutely perfect - zero discomfort from the seam or stitching. Pulling them on is an absolutely delight and they will be my go-to choice on the weekend when I'm just hanging out around the house. That said, when you put on a shoe and start walking they fall short. In Blundstones specifically (which I've worn consistently for 8 years with tons of different socks) these feel... weird. Part of the issue is the fit. My feet are size 12.5-13, so I got the larger ones. They are very comfortable, but that's partly because they fit a bit too loose to be used for any kind of walking/hiking/athletics. My shoes fit well but I can feel my foot sliding around in these socks while walking which will eventually lead to chafing, discomfort, and presumably wear. The second issue, and something I've never experienced with any other sock, is with the "compression arch support". This is the section of elastic, ribbed material that wraps around the midfoot. I can very distinctly feel this ribbed section rubbing on the bottom of my foot while walking. It feels a bit rough - not soft or cushioned. When you look at the ribs on the bottom of the sock they are visibly thick/coarse. I think they would be better if the finer elastic design from the top of the…
