The reviews say what needs saying:  5 stars every time!

XL IS SOLD OUT ... SORRY:  Medium only available ... and going fast

But these are the last ... we cannot re-create the bison/yak yarn to this spec in the US ... and we can't send any bison fiber to our overseas spinner during these uncertain times ... they are afraid it will simply be confiscated.  So, grab these while you can ... and enjoy years of great comfort and warmth in the wilds.

It will either be the foliage green or the coyote brown .... but it will be what we have, no choice on color any more, sorry.

These sold for the last 6 years at $45 per pair.

Knit at Fox River Mills, those sock creating geniuses marry military spec polypropylene on the sock shaft with our close-to-bulletproof bison down/yak down/silicon polyester yarn in the foot.

As to scent capturing, see the two reviews on the home page.  We had one other guy in the store that claims to have worn them a ridiculous 12 days elk hunting.  Now that would just be "Socks Abuse"!  But these are the top of the hunting/moving/walking sock food chain.  They are my "go-to" cold weather outdoor sock any more.

Great socks and comfortable socks! Wish some of the fibre doesnt comes out easily

Bought a pair of this Mil Top socks. Got to say it is so comfortable as if i am stepping something so smooth and soft.
Not sure if it is natural, but i was a little concern on the 2nd day of wearing, i am already seeing bits and pieces of the buffalo down coming off from the socks. (the outer layer not the inner layer)
That was surprising to me as i was only walking within the house.
I attach a picture - You can see the small bits of the down coming off around the foot heel area.

Bing: A little sheding on most of the bison fiber socks is not alarming, as the fiber is so short that in the spinning process it doesn't get fully twisted into the yarn. On those Mil Top socks- the bison/yak blend- they should not shed as much that quickly. If you want to send them back I will be glad to send you another pair. I would suggest that you wash them once or twice before putting them to a real test of warmth ... as the aggitation of the washing does help to 'set' or tighten the fibers. They have been washed already at the sock plant ... but another once or so never hurts. Let me know what you would like to do, please. BTW that is my 'go to' goose and pheasant hunting sock ... and I have several pair that are multiple years old. They do loose a bit of fiber over time, but still plenty left to do the job.

Thanks and best wishes

The most comfortable socks

These are the most comfortable socks I've ever worn. Somehow they keep my get from getting sweaty in the heat but also keep them warm in the winter. When I'm out hiking I forget I have them on.

Best socks for those you love in the military

Giving these socks as a present THE SECOND TIME, are enough to bring tears to a Marine's eyes. Seriously. Never saw my son so glad to get socks in my life! How much does he love them? He tells his junior Marines to get these socks. So. Yes. 5 stars all the way!

Ultimate Hunting Sock

Yeah I'm the "Sock Abuse" guy that wore the same pair of these socks bowhunting elk in Arizona in September. Yes, I wore the SAME pair daily and not only were they comfortable, but they wicked all the moisture away from my skin. All I did when I got back to camp at night was take them off and hang them up to dry/air out. My socks and feet DID NOT stink during the entire hunt and my feet were in great condition afterwards, not a single blister after averaging 7 miles a day in them. They are worth every penny and then some! Treat your feet right!

Great sock

Best socks I have ever owned. I have worn every day other than when I wash. I want and will order more

Paul: Thank you for the great review. Most appreciated (and folks, he absolutely ordered several more pair ... and they have to go all the way 'Down Under'). Shipping them off right now. Best wishes.

The "Mil-Top" Hunting Boot sock

C

Love these socks

The socks are warm and stay put. They feel just right at the top to stay snug. The foot is a little thinner than most of the other boot socks which is great because I can also wear them in my sneakers and dress shoes. And here in the midwest it gets cold so having a warm sock I can wear with my dress shoes as well as with boots helps keep me warm at all times. The stretchy material of the leg is also warm and doesn't make my legs sweat which is really something great, thanks again for another pair of socks to keep my feet and legs warm even when it is 10 below zero.

Only 1 thing keeping from 5 ⭐️

I’ve purchased several pairs of socks from HerdWear and no doubt Cecil treats his customers top notch.

I recently purchased the Mil-Top sock with one reservation and it’s that one reservation that held true for me personally. First the socks are high quality, very warm yet have advanced technical upgrades. The one drawback, and this is only personal preference, is I am not a fan of over-the-calf socks. My personal preference is more crew length. Crew length with the warm foot box and technical upper sock would be perfect for me. Regardless the socks are well constructed, high quality and undeniably very warm.

I will certainly buy more from HerdWear in the future!

Shane: Wish you had let me know about the sock height. We (BWC) just got a shipment of their American Field sock .... that Fox River mistakenly did as crew height instead of boot height. That sock is a 70/30 bison/superwash merino yarn blend. Plenty warm ... same technical foot structure. Feels great. And lucky for you they did them in a large size.

I'll 'swap' you the Mil-top's if you want. Send them back and I'll send you the American Field Socks. Or if you just want to swap out one pair first to try we can do that. Whatever works for you. Best wishes.

Great stay up socks

I love the foot part of the socks for warm comfort. The shaft of the sock is comfortable but a little snug on my admittedly large calves. These socks breath well with no sweaty foot problems.

Very Comfortable

Have not had the chance to check these out for their warmth as of yet, but the comfort is as stated. Will check back later with warmth and wear ratings. But so far so good.

Can't remember a better pair of socks

These socks are terrific. Nearly all my socks have begun to shrink and constrict my toes after three or four washings, but not these. As a result, they are comfortable to wear in nearly all conditions. They cushion the feet and feel just as good after a heavy hike as at the beginning. They also breathe so well I can use them as bed-socks in the middle of summer. Fox River has done a great job of making these and making use of the advantages of the fabric. Thanks!

Great for Old Feet!

My feet feel like they're freezing sometimes in the evening, even though they're not. I bought a pair of these and do the trick for my old feet. I've since bought two more....love them!!!

great boot sock

Glad I purchased as it has been a great boot sock. You will not be disappointed. Wish the store were closer.

Ron: Thank you and glad you were pleased. As to the store ... we'll have the coffee pot (and possibly bison ribs) ready if you do make it. Best wishes.

Great socks

I like to have a knee high socks during the winter to wear with boots. These are really nice, soft, warm socks. Love the fit and feel. They did get really fuzzy with the wear, more than I'm used to with other blends of wool but I figure that's just how this yarn blend will wear.

Best wool sock for extreme cold weather

I purchased these prior to hunting elk in northern Wyoming in the high mountains in snow last year. I've used other wool socks and wasn't going to purchase these, but my friend and my wife who have worn these before both talked me into it. I used these for 12 days in wet and snowy weather and was very surprised that I didn't have cold feet at the end of each day. I will by more of these this summer. I put these socks through a lot of rough wearing, but they still held up and kept my feet warm. I will continue to buy more of these. I will be going back on another 12 day hunt next winter and now know that my feet will be warm.

Many thanks to the folks at the Herd Wear store and the great products they provide. I did a vigirous field test and the socks out performed my expectations.

Thanks,

Randy Murphy

Hi Cecil,

I wear a size 7 men shoes. (25cm/9.85 inch).

Is the medium too large for that size? (i dont see small) Or does it fits just nice?

Thanks!

Herd Wear Distribution center

Randall: Hi and thanks for asking. You would be on the downhill edge of ok ... I think. That is a very densley knit sock ... both the bison/yak foot and the military polypropylene shaft so it will tend to snug around the foot.

The other consideration would be how tight your boot is now. If you have a bit of room, we should be ok, as there will be a relative lot of sock per your foot size. If your boot is already snug then maybe not.

I think it would be worth a shot; only you will know once it is on your foot and in your boot. If it works, bravo. If not, let me know and I will send a return label and refund your purchase in full. Completely up to you.

Best wishes. (PS - I usually wear that sock goose hunting out here in the Texas Panhandle. but the past few mornings ... at only 24 degrees on our lay down blinds ... those would have been too warm; used our bison/silk blend "technical" boot sock and was perfect ..... and sold a couple pair while the other guys were complaining about cold feet. The "Mil Top" is really a great really cold weather choice..

Are these over the calf socks?

Herd Wear Distribution center

Paul: Hi and thanks. Yes, these are military height over the calf .... only difference is Fox River Mills uses our bison/yak yarn in the foot with our Tech style terry loop and comfort stretch.
Let me know if there are any other questions, please.
