Men’s Socks
Why quality men's socks are an essential wardrobe investment
Investing in quality men’s socks is a smart choice for comfort and foot health that pays off every day. Socks made from premium materials like fine cotton and wool offer breathability to keep your feet dry and comfortable, while their durability means they stand up to long wear and regular washing.
The R.M.Williams range of cotton, wool, and alpaca blend socks provides cushioning and support, reducing fatigue and protecting your feet whether you’re on your feet all day or heading out for a casual walk. Quality socks are a small investment with a big impact, and can be the foundation to a wardrobe that lasts.
How to pair men's socks with different boot styles
Casual boots: Comfort meets styleFor casual men’s boots, mid-calf or crew-length socks in cotton or wool are a great balance between comfort and breathability. This makes them ideal for weekend wear or days out, as they complement the relaxed style of casual boots while staying practical and comfortable.
Outdoor boots: Durability and supportWhen you’re spending long days on your feet outdoors, nothing beats durability and support. Outdoor boots are best paired with socks that provide enough cushioning to reduce friction and help prevent damage.
Wool blend socks are also popular, as they’re naturally moisture-wicking, breathable and insulating, making them ideal for tough work outdoors. Formal boot looks with dress socks
Formal men’s Chelsea boot styles are well-suited to thinner, more refined socks. Dress socks made from fine materials like alpaca wool blend and premium cotton fit snugly and contribute to a polished silhouette, completing a formal outfit with style.
