I'm a highway heavy construction worker, started with underground tunnels, moved onto building roads, then sewer and water utilities, and have since became an operator for sewer and water utilities. I only wear Darn Tough socks, in Redwing/Danner/ Muck boots. I like the full cushion midweight steel toe socks for summer spring and fall, and when it starts getting cold I have their warmest otf (over the calf). The tall otf socks are real nice in the winter, and work great in the Muck boots. I have purchased a few pairs of the all black full cushion socks too, for casual wear or if it's extremely hot out. And I have a couple ankle height for summer use with crocks or sandals. I'm in north Western WI so we get all 4 seasons. I've converted many coworkers and family members to Darn Tough as well.
