Kandice Maxis here figured it’s wintertime. I’ll do review some Carhartt socks, I do like Carhartt socks for the wintertime good boot socks, especially when you can find them on sale, I think they’re a bit pricey when they’re, just on, like some brick-and-mortar retail shelf, I’ve, seen prices as high like $15 plus or some of the their wool ones, or even these thicker ones, but not many people are obviously doing reviews on socks, not the most popular item, but the Carhartt ones are pretty expensive and a lot of people are buying these things.

Just because you want a nice warm heavy-duty boot sock. One thing I would really recommend it. The easiest way to say it is stretch versus non stretch, socks. What I mean by that is there’s like these heavy-duty wool socks. These are really they’re cold weather once these aren’t like I would say: hunting grade socks or extreme weather. There’s certainly some really high-end socks out there, but I think for on sale, five to ten dollar range, and you can often find because it’s a textile item, there’s often big-time sales I think these are pretty worth it they’re at least pretty reliable for socks.

What I mean by nut once again, non-stretch as these go on and they’ll go about half you know a third of the way up your leg or something more like just any kind of normal stretchy sock, but when they do have stretch versions. One thing to make note is: it may seem like a pretty heavy sock and it is, but when it’s a stretch sock it thins out just a little bit more, it does give you a really nice cuff.

We can see that this one just stretches out a huge amount. This goes about halfway up your leg. These would work if you had 20 I Doc Martens, where these are more of a 12 I sock, and we can just see the difference here. We can get the upper part of this to stretch out almost as long as this sock is normally and that’s the best piece of advice I could give. You is because you may want to thick heavy sock, but you end up with a stretch version and it’s not bad, but it’s designed more.

The help, maybe reduce chafing issues. If you have chafing issues as far as stock durability and the boots actually chafing on them, they’ve been okay, I found that with boots and socks. Thicker socks fare better. If you have boots that particularly around the heel area, where they may really want to wear holes in them. This is a much factor as a boot as it is I’ve had a lot of socks have worn out and it’s you know it turns out to be the boots, and sometimes it really is cheap socks, but overall I think the car hearts aren’t bad, and although it’s arguable about the variety I have, though five different styles of car, it’s here what I do like about them? Is they both synthetic as well as natural wool? So if you don’t like, maybe natural wools, a little bit more Scratchy, you can go with the synthetic sock.

The wool ones do seem to be a little bit heavier and therefore a bit cooler weather. So I do like the fact that you can get varying socks. You can just get regular old, white socks or cotton socks just for regular socks, but far as boot socks, it’s kind of nice to have ones that maybe you’re working on 40 degree, weather or something like that, and then you have ones where you’re working with under sub 0 or sub-freezing temperatures.

So it comes to something like this. It’s a lot of people have personal preference. If ik preferences and what I have found with a lot of socks, is, you know yeah. You can go to our places like REI and they’re hugely expensive for socks. That are, you know like this I’d say boot, socks or most other places. You know, department stores they just have a few different varieties and the half the department stores all seem to sell the same brand.

It’s a little bit weird, so I kind of like that. Carhartt is at least setting themselves apart, and it’s compared to some of the value of their other clothes. I, don’t own a lot on Carhartt stuff, but I think their socks are ok anyway. All cut off the review there. It’s definitely getting a little long in the tooth, but just want to put in my two cents about these Carhartt socks.

That are, you know, ten into at least department stores that do have them tend to be a little bit more pricey, but you can always find a good deal when you do they’re, definitely worthy in the five to ten dollar repair range, 15 and 20. You know if you really like their products, I think they’re, okay, but that’s about the maximum anyway. I really appreciate everybody watching and subscribing, and if you haven’t subscribed, please do until next time, catice max out.
